Gets paid to build giant LEGO models for parks, stores, and events.
Master builders at LEGOLAND parks, LEGO Discovery Centers, and LEGO stores design and assemble models with thousands of bricks, from life-size animals to city skylines, and lead building events for kids. A few independent 'LEGO Certified Professionals' build commissioned art.
Estimate; very few positions.
Bachelor's degree (4-year), about 2 years after high school. No specific degree; a portfolio of amazing builds and often a building competition (like LEGOLAND's public tryouts). Art, design, or architecture backgrounds help.
Ways in: Self-taught, 4-year college, On-the-job training. Training cost: Under $15k.
Majors to look at: Industrial Design, Fine Arts, Architecture.
Growing slowly. Tiny, competitive field.
Low risk for 10 years. Design software helps plan, but building huge brick models and leading kids' build events is hands-on and in-person.
Classes: Art, Geometry, Architecture/drafting, Engineering CTE.
Official data: O*NET occupation 27-1013.
