VIE+W | The perfect job

Best job in the word! Does it actually exist?


They say if you choose a job you love, you’ll never have to work a day in your life. As children, almost everyone knows exactly what they want to be when they grow up, and some of these dreams are truly creative. Luckily, there are plenty of jobs nowadays that will let you live out these dreams without ever feeling like you’re at work. Almost none of these positions existed a few decades ago - so even if your personal dream job is not on the list there’s a good chance you could just invent it yourself.

If you've ever wondered how Netflix seems to know what you like, even if you don't even know yourself yet, these are the people responsible. You won't get rich doing it, but if watching Netflix is your thing, this might just be your personal dream job.
