Chocolate company will pay you to travel across the country in a 'chocotruck'

Calling all chocoholics!

You know the old saying, "Choose a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life?" Well, we may have found our next career move because a Dutch chocolate company is offering to pay someone in money and sweets to travel across the country in a "chocotruck." While that sounds like a total dream, it'll become an actual reality for a lucky few. Tony's Chocolonely — a Dutch confectionary business based in Amsterdam — is looking to hire a captain and two co-pilots to travel through 10 different U.S. cities. Those who get the job will do a lot more than just sell chocolate from the chocotruck — which unfortunately is not a truck made from chocolate but just a really decked out bright red food truck. According to Insider, the four-month-long captain role will involve driving duties and managing the Choco team, along with handling the logistics, photography and daily recap responsibilities of tour. While the co-pilots will only have a three-month commitment, their job is still vital. They'll assist with event setup and chocolate taste-testing and sales, as well as answering visitor questions. "Maybe I'm biased, but these are the best jobs ever," the U.S. marketing manager for the company, Dena White said in a statement. "Getting paid to go on a road trip in an epic Chocotruck with the goal of making the world a better place? Yes, please." That said, it's unclear how much money and candy you'll make if you get the job. Still, the gig (which will start at SXSW in Austin in March) carries a very noble purpose. The brand is looking to raise awareness surrounding the cocoa industry's inequality problem, namely the illegal child labor practices in farming. White's statement continued:We're very crazy about chocolate and we want to share the fun with choco fans across the country. But don't be mistaken. We're very serious about our mission. Everything we do is to achieve a single goal: to make all chocolate worldwide 100% slavery free. The chocotruck is our way of taking our mission on the road and sharing our story with as many new friends as we can.To score the job, you'll also need a little bit more than a sweet tooth. Among several other requirements, Tony's is looking to hire candidates that are at least 21 years old with a bachelor's degree and minimum of three years event production or touring experience. Additional Chocotruck stops include Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Berkeley, Eugene, Portland, Seattle and Chicago. You can apply and learn more about the position here.
