"cnn.com" news and stories

Given that it's a new year, perhaps you've decided that 2007 is the year that you finally make that career change into something about which you are utterly passionate. If you're reading Slashfood, we're going to guess that, like us, you're pretty passionate about food.

Obviously, you could give up that corner office with the seven-figure salary and use of the company jet to become a food blogger, but food blogging as a profession is still relatively new and unsteady. Instead, CNN has come up with a list of Ten Jobs That Let You Eat, and we're not talking about doughnuts in the office break room on Fridays. Just be forewarned, though. A job in food is a labor of love. The highest average salary is $56K for a food scientist who has a degree in chemisty or engineering!

Here's the list from CNN, and more details on the link:

• Sommelier
• Event Planner
• Chef
• Quality Control Technician
• Food Scientist
• Caterer
• Dietitian
• Server
• Product Promoter
