If your life goal is to do nothing for the rest of your life, we’ve found a way for you to get paid doing just that!
A Swedish experimental art project is offering a responsibility-free job for one very lucky individual! Well, just one responsibility.
via GIPHY
This government-funded conceptual art project will take place in Gothenburg, Sweden and will select one applicant whose job it is to show up at a train station - that’s currently under construction, and punch a time clock.
This time clock were turn on a set of fluorescent lights over the boarding platform. After punching in, the employee is free to do anything he/she wants as long as the individual turns up to switch off the lights when their shift is over.
In short, you’re getting paid to turn a switch on and off!

The lucky employee will not have to hang around the train station in between and the individual may quit or be replaced by someone else at anytime! As long as they want the job and don’t get employment anywhere else, the position is lifetime-guaranteed!
So what does this dream job pay?
According to Atlas Obscura, the “Eternal Employment” employee will earn a monthly salary of $2,320 (RM9, 480), plus annual raises, benefits, vacation time and a guaranteed pension fund!

The “Eternal Employment” project first came about in 2017 when the Public Art Agency Sweden and the Swedish Transport Administration announced an international competition for artists who were willing to contribute ideas for the design of Gothenburg’s Korsvagen train station.
The competition offered a prize of 7 million Swedish krona (RM3 million). Swedish artist duo, Simon Goldin and Jakob Senneby suggested using the prize money to pay one worker’s salary and give them absolutely nothing to do all day. And the duo won!
A job where you just have to turn a switch on and off? Where do we sign up?!
