Is it us or are the dream jobs multiplying? After the paid internship aboard a superb liner to take photos of the Caribbean and post them on Instagram, here is the less exotic but nonetheless attractive version:becoming a Lego teacher. Yes, you read that right:the University of Cambridge in England offers a job that involves playing with the famous multicolored bricks that rocked the childhoods of millions of people. The lucky winner will be at the head of the Center for Research on Games in Education, Development and Learning, freshly inaugurated by the prestigious faculty. This center will aim "to study the importance of play and fun in education", in order to provide children with the skills necessary to "solve a problem", "work in a team" and "demonstrate self-control,” reports The Guardian .
“There is too little research on the usefulness of play […] Some people argue that play enhances learning, that it is essential to the well-being of children. This may be true, but there is very little evidence on the subject says Anna Vignoles, a member of the university's education department. So what is the job really about? It will not be a question of building Lego castles all day long, it will also be necessary to teach, participate in research and examinations, supervise and ensure the administrative part. Quite a program, then! The profile sought is as follows:you must work in the field of games and entertainment or have a degree in developmental psychology or school psychology.
And that's not all:the monthly salary offered is... 8,000 euros per month! If you thought you were the perfect person for the job, the last day to apply is today, Friday January 20th… Well, we don't lose hope, maybe the next position will be Pokémon trainer, or something like that !
