DRINK BEER, GET PAID FOR IT

World of Beer, the Tampa, Florida-based chain of taverns with 77 locations nationwide, is offering what could be the best internship ever. World of Beer is hiring three interns this summer to go drink beer and report back on their experiences. Plus, the internship pays $12,000 and covers all travel, meals, and lodging expenses. Alyssa Ahern, a WOB representative, says that interviews are taking place now and that prospective interns can apply in one of two ways. People can either apply online by submitting a video, or there will be eight different in-tavern interviews where people can come in and interview in front of a live judging panel. Interviews have already taken place in the DC area; Orlando; Columbus, Ohio; and the Chicago area. But there are four more to come soon – another in Orlando, and ones in Tempe, Arizona; College Station, Texas; and Tampa, Florida. Ahern says this is really a social media internship – the successful interns will have their work published – so World of Beer is looking for strong writers and people with a large social following.
* So – it’s a publicity stunt. And it worked.
* The internship could also lead to other opportunities like the opportunity to go to rehab.
* The interns will drink beer and then report back on what they can still remember of their experiences.
* “There was a lot of swallowing involved, and occasional peeing.”
* You’ll also have the chance to meet lots of attractive people. Or at least they’ll get more attractive as the night wears on.
* Please tell me this job comes with a car and driver.
* They’ll be interviewing in College Station, Tempe and Florida? Well, they got the right locations anyway.
* If they can’t find some candidates in those towns they aren’t trying.
* They’re going to College Station? Heck, why not hire Johnny Manziel to do this? He’s not doing anything right now.
