What food job would you like?

At 6am this morning I was taking a break from paying bills online and stopped by one of my favorite web-sites, ChowHound.com, now part of Chow.com, a former food magazine. I've been a reader and lurker on the discussion forum there since 1999, and a regular poster since around 2001-2002, or thereabouts. Today there was a question posted: What food job would you like?

I thought about it and posted my answer, which you can see after the jump below. The thing about this is that where I am in my life right now, is a direct result of having a friend insist that I read Chowhound.com many years ago. Finding a forum where people could talk about food opened my eyes and changed my life. I got a bug in my head that lead to me doing massive research on food, studying, learning, and then teaching as well. Then one day I asked myself: What food job would I like? And I came up with my answer.

So what about you? What food job would you like?

Best jobs if you like to eat

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
