Who hasn’t at some point in their life sat down in front of a box of LEGO and set about building (or helping to build) a fantastic creation in multi-coloured blocks? For some people this becomes more than just something you did as a kid.
LEGO has a number of certified professionals who work with the company to create sets and build models for them.
They work against fairly tight budgets and thematic constraints, and are based in Legoland Discovery Centres around the world. But competition for the jobs is fierce, with estimates varying as to exactly how many there are in the world – from nine to 30. The latest one to get a job was 23-year-old Andrew Johnson who submitted a clever video, then competed in a hard core three-round build off, allegedly fighting off 45 other competitors.
If you love childhood toys but don't fancy building them, why not consider joining the retail sector and work in a toy shop?
