Shoji Morimoto has what some would see as a dream job: he gets paid to do pretty much nothing.
The 38-year-old Tokyo resident charges 10,000 yen ($99.83) an hour to accompany clients and simply exist as a companion.
"Basically, I rent myself out. My job is to be wherever my clients want me to be and to do nothing in particular," Morimoto told Reuters, adding that he had handled some 4,000 sessions in the past four years.

That’s not doing nothing.
Sounds like it could go pretty darn bad at times.

I could do that job.
A non-sexual job just being a companion of whomever wanted the company.
That sounds interesting.

You’d probably meet a lot of very interesting characters - if you put down your phone long enough to pay a little attention.

Well, I also get paid to nothing as I'm retired.
I actually pay myself to do nothing and it works out real well as I do absolutely nothing other than what I want to do.
Damn, why didn't I think about this 30 years ago?

That photo is amazing - the fat girl rented him, then they both sit there on their phones not looking at one another. Not a bad job.

Getting paid to do nothing? Hell, that’s nothing new… we have hundreds of thousands doing that in our federal civilian bureaucracies.
