Swapping jobs: Unusual careers and the people who make them shine

Loading player...
What if you could swap jobs with anyone in your circle for just one day? Listeners stepped up to the challenge and share their dream swaps and the reasons behind them.

One listener is eager to trade places with his uncle, a police officer, hoping to “shut down criminality within 24 hours” and experience the respect and responsibility that comes with the badge. Another dreams of being a high court attorney, drawn by the power to “send all these people to jail” and the intrigue of high-profile cases behind closed doors.

The fun doesn’t stop there. The show sparks a lively debate: would you rather have a boss who gives you Fridays off but emails after hours, or one who never bothers you outside work but keeps you in endless meetings? The verdict? Most listeners would gladly trade a few late-night emails for a long weekend; “I can’t sleep before midnight, so that’s fine!” quips one. With real stories, playful banter, and a peek into the quirks of work life, this episode is a reminder that sometimes, the grass really is greener - at least for a day.
