In 2009, 12-year-old Harry Willsher was given the job of his dreams. He was named the candy taster at a candy factory. It was Harry's job to try all the candy and decide what tasted good. He didn't have to move a muscle. The candy was sent to his house, and all he had to do was eat it and give them his verdict.
But the fun isn't only for children. Professional chocolate consultants taste and judge chocolate. You would have to watch your diet if this were your job!

Now, after doing so much hard work, you might feel like it's time for a vacation. You can be a vacation tester. Noelani Schilling-Wheeler is a vacation tester in Hawaii. Before she can send tourists on their holidays, she has to try them out first. Vacationing in paradise seems like a nice job.
If all that does not satisfy you, you might have to ask Ben Southall for his job. In 2009, he became a caretaker for an island in Australia. For six months, all he had to do was relax, explore, and write about his time. Oh, and he also got paid almost $120,000.
Do you have a taste for island life? Being a destination wedding photographer is a job that you might want to consider. As a wedding photographer, you capture the magic of a wedding. But even better if you get to do it in the most beautiful places in the world.

If you want to get paid for staying in hotels and traveling, you might consider being a mystery shopper. A mystery shopper goes into a shop to test the service.
