Instead of spending your hard-earned money on sweets and treats, why not make those treats pay you? An ice cream taster typically has a college degree in food science or nutrition. A typical day includes creating new concoctions and testing flavor concepts; knowledge of chemistry doesn’t hurt either.
Before starting out as an ice cream taster, get some experience in an ice cream shop. Not only will you be surrounded by ice cream every day, but you can also get a feel for the type of flavors the public prefers.
