      Dream job #2

      As a kid we always said the best job in the world would be a videogame tester. I mean, c’mon, you’re get paid to play videogames all day…how bad can it be? And while I will still dream of getting paid to play videogames for living, second on my list of ultimate jobs has quickly become that which only a few obtain in life - master Lego builder.

      Yes, Lego builder is dream job #2. Again, you’re getting paid to play with Legos…how bad can it be? Recently, as reported by CNet, a new master Lego builder was crowned out of a contest. A contest!!

      Seriously. One day you’re paying your ass of at college to get a degree for your career and the next day you’re building Lego masterworks for Legoland. It doesn’t get any better than that. Lucky bastard.
      And what does a master Lego builder create to win the ultimate choice job? A snowman breathing fire. It wasn’t big or really that impressive looking. It looked good and is far more than anyone I know could whip off in a mere two hours, but if someone said to me, “Hey, build me a fire-breathing snowman out of Legos,” I’d like to think I could do it (although not in two hours).

      But, some might say I get paid to play with Legos already, so maybe I shouldn’t be pushing my luck…
