A recent article tracking the best- and worst-paid professions found many food-service workers at the bottom of the pay scale — when strictly looking at annual wages.
Not surprisingly, medical jobs were among the highest-paid. Surgeons topped the list ($206,770), followed by anesthesiologists ($197,570) and orthodontists ($194,930).
Bottom three: Combined food-prep and service workers ($17,400), fast-food cooks ($17,620), and dishwashers ($17,750). The rewards for being a barista or “sandwich artist” are definitely more than monetary.
But now a new contest offers one VERY lucrative food-service job: Scooping ice cream. You could make $100,000 in one day — courtesy of Edy’s Grand Ice Cream.
Who wouldn’t want to make $100K in a single day of work? Whether you’re a foodie or not, employed or not, this sounds as irresistible as a triple-scoop waffle cone on a hot summer day. The promotion coincides with the 80th birthday of Edy’s Rocky Road, a flavor that gave people something to smile about during the Great Depression.
The contest involves writing about how you would use the $100K salary to fulfill your American dream. For more details, check out www.icecream.com and follow the “Taste of Recovery” links.
