Working at the Lego Factory: Most Awesome Job Ever?

Posted by Jen Chaney

On the list of all-time greatest jobs, I'd probably include: animator at Pixar, taste-tester for M&Ms and, as evidenced by this, designer at the Lego factory.

Yes, Babble's own Gwynne Watkins took a tour of the U.S. Lego headquarters in Connecticut and got to see first-hand what people like Erik Varszegi -- a dude who builds massive, life-size heads of Al Roker and George Lucas -- do for a living. Of course, it's not all fun and games for  Erik. Sometime he also builds Lego men on his computer.

I mean, seriously, can you imagine someone paying you to play with Legos all day? And when you apply for that job, does your resume mention your extensive experience building Lego houses in kindergarten?

Something to ponder. In the meantime, check out the rest of Gwynne's tour, which proves that having a job that lets you visit a Lego factory is pretty cool, too.
