13 Of The Best Fictional Jobs You Wish You Could Have

We all wish, at some point, that we could just dive head first into our favorite TV show or movie worlds and live the life we see on screen. These are some of the best fictional jobs we've seen and we know you're going to wish you could work these jobs, too! 

Fry Cook At The Krusty Krab

Sure, a fry cook isn’t the most glamorous job, but how could you pass up working at a place with famous burgers like The Krusty Krab? Finally, after years of wondering how good they are, you can finally taste one for yourself and find out the secret recipe. You might even get to live in a pineapple under the sea like SpongeBob does. 

Headmaster At Hogwarts

To work in a place filled with magic and people as weird and powerful as you has got to be the best job out there. Being the Headmaster at Hogwarts is no easy task, but magical powers sure are worth it. 

Villain Fighter In Storybrooke

We all grew up reading stories of heroes and villains and now you get to be the hero and fight every awful thing that happens in Storybrooke. From wicked witches to evil queens, you’ve got a lot of saving to do.

Gladiator For Olivia Pope And Associates

If you like to solve problems (not always in an ethical way) then this job is for you. Plus, having Olivia Pope as your boss would be pretty bad ass. 

Oompa Loompa at Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory

Although dyeing yourself orange and dealing with people who just can’t follow rules might get a little old, they might be worth it if it’s in a chocolate factory. 

Ghostbuster

There’s not much explaining that needs to be done for this one. You hunt ghosts, what’s better than that? Well, unless you’re afraid of them.

Mayor Of Munchkin City

As Mayor of Munchkin City in the county of the Land of Oz, you have much responsibility to uphold (although, since the Wicked Witch is dead things will be a little easier). But, who wouldn’t want to live in a land full of munchkins and lollipops?

Waitress At Luke’s Diner

Luke would probably be the coolest boss to have and he’d definitely (okay, high maybe) let you sneak free coffee. 

Prison Guard At Litchfield

Being a prison guard can be tough work, but all the kooky, funny and interesting ladies at Litchfield prison will definitely make going to work every day an adventure. 

Supreme Witch In The Coven Household

If you love being in charge, Supreme Witch is a title just for you. But as they say, with power can come great failure, so you better play your cards (or your witches) right.

Tech Analyst At The FBI BAU

Okay, this one could actually be a real job, but you definitely won’t get to be as lucky as Penelope and work with Derek Morgan and Spencer Reid. And let’s be honest, if you work for the FBI, you probably wouldn’t be able to dress like her either.

An Emotion In Someone’s Mind

How fun would it be to be in control of someone’s emotions? Maybe that sounds a little harsh, but don’t lie, you know it would be fun to run around with your fellow emotions. 

Housekeeper For The Brady Family

‘Cause what better family is there to work for? Being a housekeeper for the Brady Bunch would definitely require a lot of energy, but being apart of a big, loving family would be very rewarding.
