However, the default side job in college and grad school was always  food related. After working at Sheridan\u2019s Cheesemongers in Ireland and  moving back to the US, \u00a0I soon realized that I was able to talk about  cheese more than most people and that I loved doing research on  production, stories, and myths about all things cheese. This is how I  decided to be a part-time instructor on cheese, teaching pairing  classes, <a href=\"http:\/\/lactography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">blogging<\/a>, and eventually starting my own business to educate  people about Mexican cheese in the US and Canada and about the world of  cheese in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How did you get your current good food job? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I  started my own company. I saw a gap in the industry and decided to  apply myself to become the best spokesperson Mexican artisanal cheese  and cheesemakers could have. I was able to establish a lot of contacts  by volunteering at many places.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How did your previous work or life experience prepare you for a good food job?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I  love researching, that is my real passion. Reading, thinking, writing  and talking about my research is what I do best and it\u2019s what gives me  the most pleasure. So I decided to join my work as a PhD student with a  job in cheese, researching, thinking, writing and talking about cheese.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><br \/>\nWhat advice do you have for others in search of a good food job?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Never  shy away from volunteering, it is the best way to learn, and in this  industry, knowledge is what gives you the edge. If you are that one  person that knows the most about that one thing, you will be in high  demand. Also read, read, read! Learning is fun.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>If you could be compensated for your work with something other than money, what would it be?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cheese!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marrying your passion and profession seems to be a super combination.
