Hey. What are you up to lately? Staying home and watching TV?
So is everyone at CableTV.com—but it’s our job.
It could be your job too: we’re paying up to five people $2,000 each to watch every episode of every season of their favorite TV series.
Who we want to hire
The successful candidate for this dream job will have a bachelor’s degr— jaaaaaay-kaaaaaay. You can be a third-grade dropout and qualify—as long as you’re 18 years old, eligible to work in the US, and an active social media user.
Then, if you’re hired, all you gotta do is sit on your cheeks, watch TV, pig out, and post about it on Instagram or Twitter (remember to tag @CableTV).
What you’ll be watching
What’ll you watch? It’s up to you.
Ideally, you’d pick your favorite show because who doesn’t want to get paid to watch something they love? But smart business peeps could screen the lone season of Freaks and Geeks and be done with this temp gig in only 13.2 hours (hourly wage: $151.52). Labor-of-love types could view all 679 episodes of The Simpsons and not care that they’ll make only $8.02 an hour.
But the cool thing about this dream job is that it’s not real work. You make your own assignment, which determines your hourly wage. For example, here’s what you’d make by watching these popular shows:
- The X-Files: $12.22/hr.
- The Walking Dead: $20.24/hr.
- Friends: $24.00/hr.
- The Office: $27.02/hr.
- Seinfeld: $28.98/hr.
- Star Trek: The Original Series: $30.38/hr.
- Game of Thrones: $32.58/hr.
-
- The L Word (original): $34.28/hr.
- The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: $35.28/hr.
- Trailer Park Boys: $38.10/hr.
- Breaking Bad: $44.76/hr.
- Community: $49.60/hr.
- The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: $104.26/hr.
- Rick and Morty: $151.52/hr.
Awwww, yeah. Imagine how sweet it’d be to brag about making more per hour watching your favorite TV show than you do at your real job. On top of that, there’s no background check, no drug test, and no dress code. No pants? No problem.
When we say “dream job,” we mean it.
What you’ll get (aka “perks”)
In addition to the $2,000 paycheck, you five lucky homebodies will get a lovely welcome package containing things to make your working conditions positively posh:
-
-
- One-year subscription to your preferred streaming service
- Comfy blanket
- $100 Grubhub gift card
-
-
-
- Remote: Office Not Required by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier
- Candy and treats
- Popcorn
