Get paid to do literally nothing

How would you like a job in which you not only get to do nothing, but your bosses expect that of you and you still get paid?

Two Swedish conceptual artists Simon Goldin and Jakob Senneby are now hiring an “eternal employee” to essentially do whatever they want at Korsvägen, a train station currently undergoing construction in Gothenburg, Sweden.

“The position holds no duties or responsibilities, other than that it should be carried out at Korsvägen,” the job description states. “Whatever the employee choses (sic) to do constitutes the work.”

There is only one responsibility at the job, that you show up each morning and clock in, thereby turning on the lights at the train station so everyone knows you are at work. From then on your time is your own. You can stay and work on your own private projects, leave and go to gym, or a movie, or just spend the day reading news stories on the Citizen. You may not, however head off to a second job.  At the end of the day, you’d be expected to go back to Korsvägen to turn the “working lights” off by clocking out.

This magnificent opportunity pays R33,000 a month so perhaps you should consider applying now for the job here?
