Whether it’s a drinking session dressed up as a team away day, or that golden 20 minutes when the internet goes down, we all appreciate a bit of a break from the grind now and again.

But for a new job opening in Sweden, the entire raison d’être is to do sweet nothing all day – and get paid for it.

The position will be located in the country’s newest train station, Korsvägen, in the city of Gothenburg. And it’s a tad more existential than your average dream job.

For starters, it’s really more of a conceptual art project than an employment opportunity alone.

And then, there are zero duties involved. Absolutely nothing.

The lucky candidate will simply clock in and out during allocated hours, switching on a series of fluorescent lights above a station platform as they do so.

In-between time, they are free to do entirely as they please. Grab a Nando’s, shoot the breeze, or even leave the station and pop home for a nap – the choice is theirs.

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

Sweden’s job of dreams will pay you to do nothing all day
