Career Research Project

i did my career research project over a professional ice cream tester. i became interested in this job about a year and a half ago. when my step dad and me were looking at a facebook post. the facebook post was about the top ten most interesting jobs that pay well in the united states. professional ice cream tester was number six. i have been interested for about a year and a half too two years. i have done research before but i did not use sweet search before so i did into find as much as a third as much as i did with this research as i have without using it. doing this research i even found out about respected people in this career. people who have been working in this career for 30 years. that is twice as long as i have been alive. these

people made some of the most popular flavors there are today. even made ice cream that becomes pudding when melted.’=
2.

the responsibilities for this job include a lot of things. a couple of thing you must do is ‘test the hardness of the ice cream’, ‘whirling the sample’, and ‘testing the cream’ (fisk, XI). when i found this book i did not realize that there were so many different thing you had to do. i realized that there would be a lot of different thing you had to do tho. there is also a possibility that you will create different flavors.
3. the most likely places where you will find jobs are the big name brands. it is nice to know that every single flavor in the world that is sold at a ice cream parlor or store was tasted and that i may be the tester of a flavor that people around the world may like. occasionally even the small stores like braum’s and places has ice cream

testers.

4. the specific education that you want are “Specific focuses might include chemistry, business, marketing, brand management, and/or product development”. “(Harrison studied chemistry at Memphis State University, and Karam has a graduate degree in food science).” these is there two very recognized people in the career of ice cream testing. one person had taste buds insured for a million dollars. 5. at durant high school there is chemistry and marketing that i can take. food science is another really good education to have when deciding to go into this career field. i have not decided which i want to major in chemistry or food science. they are both very important to have. i have also thought about getting a major in chemistry and a minor in food science if they offer that. if those are not offered i may pay a little extra and spend a little more time at school and get to major’s. having two majors would also allow me to get two minor in any of the other three specific focuses that were recommended to have for this career. i may seem to be having really high expectations of this job but there seems to be a force drawing me into it.
6. the best school to match my needs for this career is oklahoma state university. guess i got to become a fan of them. back on subject the reason i find this as the best possible choice for me is because of the fact i can decide what i want to do i can get up to a doctorates in these two major’s which is really cool. the hardest class to get in will probably be chemistry with a lot of people trying to get in.
7. there is not much expectancy to go up in this job. besides raises over time and how recognized and wanted you are by other companies. some have worked for up to thirty years and not have more than a pay raise they are still doing what they started at the beginning of the job. tasting ice cream. when following the link below it tells you about the man with the million dollar taste buds and he explains how over time her has only raised his weight. i will try to work out at the gym every day so i won't gain weight besides muscle

8. the daily schedule of this job is to wake up early and start tasting ice cream for 5 or 6 hours a day tasting about 60 different flavors or tasting the same flavor at different stages of melting and things like that. while this job may seem easy there are a lot of things that go into it. the type of food u eat to what u eat with can effect how good of a reading you get.
9. the only health hazard i found was gaining weight. gaining weight is a very big health hazard today because they can lead to diseases. i would guess and say that diabetes may even be a health hazard because of the amount of ice cream you have every day. that is a lot of ice cream over the course of the career. there are ways to prevent gaining weight. by being active and working out you can get rid of what u are gaining.
10.

the specific thing you want for this job is you want to have a good palate and to use utensils that do not leave a resin after taste to the ice cream some companies even use gold plated ice cream scoops to cancel the resin taste so you get the maximum tasting that u can. at least you can say you use a gold plated ice cream scoop. when i fouat found this career i never knew that was until i had to do research about this job.while i don’t like doing research i found more interesting and helpful information about the job i want to do when i get older. they even have places where you can go and taste ice cream for money while not working for the company. they are doing this to raise awareness of the job which i find is really cool.
some things that make me feel awarded by this job is the fact that your taste buds can be insured.one man has his taste buds insured for a million dollars. he is also the man who created cookies and cream ice cream. he created pickle ice cream for pregnant women. he is a very sought after man by various companies. personally things that i find to be majorly satisfactions for me is i can take care of my family with the money i would be earning. i could put my future kids through college without help. and i could get my family the things they

want.
12. the limiting factors could be that there are not a lot of job openings because the job is not that well known there are not a lot of openings there will probably be more job opening because more people like dessert food now a days. in years to come i hope that this job is more sought after because if more people go after this job companies are more likely to raise the amount of people they bring into the company to taste the ice cream. there are about 800 jobs openings a year with the amount of job openings increasing every year. by the time i graduate it may be up to the 10,000 for all we know. or it may take to when i finish my college education. dream jobs like these are gaining more recognition. there is a job to sleep, a job to taste, a job to drive new car models, there are a lot of jobs out there that do not seem real but they are as real as you and me.
13. there is a chance my family life would be affected by this job. i could be out promoting the career for months at a time driving around the united states maybe even canada. i would also make all of my family be active to install in them not to be lazy. the only time i am not lazy is talking to my girlfriend or i am lifting weights talking ot her more often than lifting weights though.
14.with the financial awards at forty five to a hundred thousand the financial rewards are pretty good. there was not anything on if u state at a higher pay if u go to college or how much you are expected to make after five years. i would guess and say that you probably would be up in how much you are paid after five years. i think it matters on how well you do your job.
15.there are not a lot of expected employment opportunities. i got this from an article that was made a couple years ago so that may be up from poor to good or excellent for all i know. while there may not be a lot of job i'm positive i have what it takes to be different and be there first choose in new people.
16..the big name brands are mostly associated with the career or ice cream taster big name brands are always the ones that come up with the new flavors you may have small companies that have ice cream testers but there are probably only a few hundred in total while there will be thousands at big name companies.
i find it important if i had gone back and spent more time finding more articles finding more information instead of rushing to find the first thing that answered the question no matter how well it answered the question. i am still very interested in this job. and with the major(s) i will probably be getting there is the chance that i can go to another career if i do not end up getting the one i am shooting for. i am still very interested in this job and i am glad me and my step dad found the article about the top ten most unusual well paying jobs. while i don’t have anything against teaching i am pretty happy that my job choose changed from teacher to ice cream tester
