The gig: Tasting 60 packages of ice cream each day to ensure the quality is consistent.
The expert: John Harrison, Official Taste Tester, Dreyer's & Edy's Grand Ice Cream
The best part: Isn't it obvious? "I get paid to taste ice cream," says Harrison.
Getting there: Keep your taste buds in tip-top shape, so no onions, garlic or spicy foods that can tweak your taster. In college, pursue a food science or dairy science degree.
Cool fact: The tasting spoon is made of pure gold. Unlike wood or plastic, it doesn't have an aftertaste. Unlike silver, it doesn't tarnish.
