如果你向往获得一份体面的薪水而不用做任何事情，或想干什么就干什么，那么也许你会对一个瑞典实验艺术项目感兴趣。
这个由政府资助的就业机会，将选出一位非常幸运的申请人每天到哥德堡市正在建设的火车站签到。
之后，这个人就可以自由地去做任何自己想做的事情，或什么也不做，只要在下班时回去打卡就行了。
被选中的申请人将获得每月约2320美元的薪水，再加上福利、休假时间以及有保障的养老金等。
尽管这不是世界上薪水最高的工作，但考虑到"无论员工选择做什么都算是在工作”，这个职位并不坏。
这个项目由两位瑞典艺术家提出，并获得了评审团的支持。
但是也有人认为这个想法非常愚蠢并且没有任何价值，许多人还指责他们浪费纳税人的钱。
