I want to be a food critic, this job would be interesting to do because you get to travel to a lot of places, eat food, and get paid for doing those two things. I would love to get paid while traveling and eating. To be able to be a food critic, first I would have to become a chef.
The career of food critics dates back to the mid 1950’s. The first food critic was Alexandre Balthaser Laurent Grimod de la Reynieve. It first started in New York.

...ike to write, after college, I never ever want to write another essay, paper, or research anything ever ever ever again! In this career I would be required to write essays and articles all the time, so this is definitely not the career that I would ever want to choose. The only thing that I absolutely like about this career is the traveling and the eating part. And some of the things that you would have to eat in this career do not sound appetizing at all and I would not want to eat it. Some of the things that you would have to eat include fish (which I hate fish so much), octopuses, and a lot of other disgusting things that no person should ever want to eat. After all my research, I do not want to do this career at all. If it did not require writing and the eating of certain food then I would not really mind it, but it does so therefore I do not like this career.
