21 Extremely Cool Dream Jobs That Actually Exist

I consider my job as a ✨professional BuzzFeed writer✨ to be a pretty freakin' cool job. Like, I get to yap on the internet all day about topics ranging from ancient history to Shrek — who else can say that? BUT, of course, there are tons of jobs out there that are more astonishing than they're always a blast to learn about. So recently, we asked the BuzzFeed Community, "What's the coolest job you've ever heard of?" and people replied with the most jaw-dropping, mind-boggling careers that actually exist. Yes, all of these are LEGIT jobs that REAL PEOPLE have. So for your daily dose of joy and inspiration, let's go over what people said: "Amenities tester. You travel to all kinds of spas and resorts, testing out their amenities. Pools, saunas, room service, massages, toiletries, complimentary food and beverage, concierge services, laundry and dry cleaning services — anything and everything you can think of. The most extravagant pampering, AND THEY PAY YOU TO DO IT!!!!" "Jeopardy! clue writer. I'd rock that one!" "Professional sleeper! They just sleep and get paid!" "I was a chocolate maker. It was as good as it sounds. I shouldn't have given it up." And similarly: "Chocolate taster. Husband of a friend of a friend, he quit that job after 8 years because he got sick of the taste of chocolate. I find that extremely hard to believe, but he swore it was true." "Nail polish namer. I actually contacted Revlon to see what job that was, I was told it's a product development specialist." "Voice acting." "Professional panda cuddler." "I know someone who crafts speciality cocktails for private jet guests. So she meets a bunch of celebs, makes drinks based on their tastes or themed to their work, and gets paid to travel the world. She always made it sound exhilarating!" "I used to work at a doggy daycare…best job ever!!!!" "When I was in special effects makeup school in Burbank, I always found working in prosthetic production labs to be fascinating. We had a lab class where we designed, sculpted, and made prosthetics. It was so fun." "Travel writer. It would be so cool to travel and write about beautiful islands and all the cool hidden gems around the world." "Film critic. I think that would be so fun!" "Two words: personal shopper!" "ICE CREAM TASTE TESTER!!! They travel for free, they taste ice cream, and they have to post on social media." "Hear me out though: roller coaster tester." "A friend's wife is a character designer for LEGO games." "Naming the Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavors!" "Exotic car builder. I'm not deep into car culture, but I appreciate the art, technology and craftsmanship of the special ones. Documentaries of exotic vehicle manufacturers like Bugatti always suck me in. The facilities are so gorgeous and purpose-built. The workers have time and appreciation for their skills. Building the engine, applying the seat and interior materials, painting, etc. Can't imagine having a job that satisfying." "I used to work with a guy whose wife is a silversmith — she MADE the Vince Lombardi trophy one year!" And finally: "Mad scientist. Because it really doesn't matter what you do or why you're doing it." And speaking of jobs: have you ever been fired from a job before? If you have, we wanna hear what happened! Tell us your "I just got fired" story in this anonymous form, or leave it in the comments below! And for more fun content, be sure to follow BuzzFeed Canada on Instagram and TikTok!

LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel Hits All-Time Low, Marked as Amazon's #1 Best-Seller and Already Selling Fast

'Boutique' and 'luxury' might not be words you normally associate with LEGO, but in this case they're very well deployed. The LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel is a stunningly detailed and beautiful 3,000+ piece kit for adult builders 18 and up, and Amazon's 24% off deal makes it a great $174 addition to any display area in your home. Think of an old-fashioned Victorian dollhouse, crafted with tons of fine details and hidden little conversation pieces, and you'll get a good idea of what this LEGO kit is all about, except it's far easier to build than those dollhouses. (Not that it's easy by any means — it's 3,066 pieces that most definitely require an adult builder.) The LEGO Boutique Hotel is a tribute to late-19th and early-20th century European architecture, released as part of the 15th anniversary celebration of the LEGO Modular Buildings line. See at Amazon This gorgeous set is filled with nods and tributes to LEGO Modular Building kits from the past 15 years. If you're a longtime LEGO fanatic you'll be able to spot many of them, but even unfamiliar builders can enjoy looking up these older kits and finding out where the LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel cleverly hides their references. (Spoiler: The typewriter in the LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel is from the Police Station kit.) More than just a self-reverential exercise, the LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel is a stunning piece of architecture in block form. There are five sections overall, with exquisitely detailed construction, including the unique geometric shapes and architectural quirks of the era. The roof's decorative dome and skylight are a beautiful topper, and the art gallery and terrace are fun touches. Seven minifigures are include, including a porter, receptionist, and coffee vendor. The LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel recreates the opulent hotels of Europe's Gilded Age, and it will provide a challenging yet fun hours-long activity, and once completed, a beautiful conversation piece you can proudly display in your home. When completed it's 13 inches tall, 10 inches wide, and 10 inches deep — small enough to comfortably occupy a prominent place in your home yet large enough for curious visitors to see all of the cool details. The LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel is #1 Amazon bestseller, with over 10,000 sold in just the past month. Nearly 500 Amazon reviewers give it a hefty 4.8-star average review. This 24% off sale brings the price of the LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel down from $230 to just $174, making it a perfect birthday or holiday gift for a crafter or fan of fine art and architecture.
