Get Paid $1,100 to Listen to Breakup Songs

We’ve all been there. You go through a nasty breakup and turn to music for comfort. I prefer listening to songs like “Another One Bites the Dust” and “Love Bites” after a breakup, but to each their own.

Now, there’s actually a company that wants to hire someone to listen to breakup songs for 24 hours. They’ll pay you to listen, too.

FinanceBuzz is currently taking applications for a “DJ of Heartache” who will get $1,100 to listen to 24 hours breakup-appropriate songs. Their playlist features a range of tracks about heartbreak, from Taylor Swift to Adele.

The deadline for online applications in Jan. 31 at midnight ET. To apply, you must be based in the United States and be at least 18 years old. Applications are currently open here.

A candidate will be chosen by Feb. 2, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Then, the “DJ of Heartache” will have until Feb. 6 to listen to the full playlist. Finally, the winner will be asked to create generate five playlists of their own, perfect for the five stages of grief after a breakup. Good luck!

• Upper Peninsula fun: Plenty of people visit the Upper Peninsula during the warm months, but winter is also a great time to visit. You don’t have to fight the crowds, plus winter is extra beautiful Up North, thanks to all the fresh snow.

• Winter fun with friends: Sure, the southern U.S. states avoid freezing cold temperatures, but what’s the fun of a fire pit in 70-degree weather? When it’s cold out, fire up the fire pit and invite friends over for a special experience.
