Could you get by on a $28,000 yearly salary if you literally had the easiest job on the planet?
A new dream job is opening up in Sweden in 2026 that will pay $28,000 a year for basically no work and anyone can apply.
A new government “art project” in Sweden will pay one person from anywhere in the world $28,000 a year to do basically nothing.
It’s supposed to be a commentary on the, quote, “face of mass automation” . . . the wealth gap . . . and how humans will do less and less as A.I. takes over. And it starts in 2026 because that’s when a new train station is scheduled to open.
The only job duty will be to clock in at the station each morning, which turns the lights on. Then you have to clock out at the end of the day.
Major perks that come with the gig are you can do whatever you want all day, the job will be guaranteed for life, you’ll get vacation time, an annual 3% pay bump, a retirement plan . . . and you can quit whenever you want.
BUT. . . . . . . . there is a catch (You didn’t think it’d be this easy right?).
You’d have to move to Sweden and you wouldn’t be able to have a side-gig 2nd job, so you’d have to survive on that money.
