How would you like to be paid to taste food? How to pass the taste test...

It’s a tasty job – and somebody’s got to do it. 

Food manufacturers need taste-testers and will pay around $20 an hour – if you can pass the taste-test. You’ll be asked about your health, medication, allergies and any digestive issues. You’ll also need to have a keen sense of taste and smell and a knack for identifying flavors and spices.

To find a tasty job near you, Google “taste-testing” and include your zip code. You can also check some of the well-known sites such as MMR Research or The National Food Lab at TheNFL.com.
