Job Swapping as a show or soft skills program?

[Briennette]

Many have heard of the show Wife Swap. But would you watch a show about job swapping?
If there were two jobs (could be completely unrelated) that could learn from one another and would be entertaining at the same time, what would they be and why?
Is there a job YOU would want to swap with for a week because you think it'd help?

[Effably]

I struggle to imagine it does not exist. But yes, it is something that could absolutely be interesting to me.

Although rather restricted in what you can do. I for example can't legally let someone do many parts of my job and the same goes for a lot of professions.

But more unqualified labour like CEOs swapping with Entry level positions requiring no education would be fine. And entertaining, I suppose. Unfortunately you can't really, legally, swap an engineer and a doctor for example.

It's possible it exists. I don't know honestly, I have never heard of one.
But for you, what would be a job you'd like to swap with - especially if it's unrelated to your field?

We have such a show in Germany. It’s called „Mein Job - Dein Job“. 🙂

[Briennette]

What fields have you seen switched that were entertaining?
Which field would you trade with for a week?

[DryGermanGuy]

In that show they switch countries, not the fields of work, so they can immediately do something in the other country. For example American cops and German cops or Argentinian musicians or car mechanics from Africa.

I am sure a show like that already exists.

it does? what is it called?
