Peter works at an ice cream factory. He is an ice-cream taster. He has an interview with a magazine that looks at unusual jobs. Interviewer: It’s nice to meet you Peter. Wow, so you are an icecream taster, huh? That’s certainly an offbeat job. Peter: You’re right, it’s pretty unusual. It seems like a fun job, but I actually have normal work hours. I have to show up in the morning and I work until evening. I spend all day tasting the ice cream and thinking of new kinds of ice cream. Yesterday, we made a new flavor called “Coffee Mint. ”

Interviewer: That sounds great. There are not many job openings in this field, so our reader will want to know the answer to this question: What kind of education is needed for this job? Peter: I don’t have any special training. But I really love ice cream. And because I don’t smoke or drink, my taste buds are very sensitive. Interviewer: I heard there’s a one-million-dollar insurance policy on them? Peter: That’s right, and that’s a lot of money. But my salary is not that high. It’s just normal.
