There are a LOT of jobs worse than this and they don't pay $47,500-a-year. A company called Candy Funhouse is looking to hire candy and chocolate taste testers. And this isn't one of those gimmicks where a company "hires" someone for $500 to eat chocolate for a week. This is a legit full-time job. The job pays $24-an-hour, which works out to around $47,500-a-year. And they'll be hiring two people for it. There is a catch, of course. The company is in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, and you'll have to move there. If moving to Mississauga is a non-starter for you, they're also hiring eight people for part-time jobs . . . and those people will get paid the same hourly rate to work from home for 15 hours a week. The applications are due on February 15th.
