Bachelor parties are like the crown jewel of any man’s postgrad life. It’s salvation from the drag of your day-to-day job, an opportunity to go wild with hardly any consequences except for maybe a Monday hangover and a week of eating ramen.
Unfortunately, these are few and far between. You get maybe one or two a year, and then they vanish into thin air once all of your buddies get hitched. But a British “stag party” website — which is just the British way of phrasing “bachelor party” — is now offering what could be considered the greatest internship of all-time. They recently posted a listing for Stag Travel Writer Intern, and the description is enough to make anyone want to say, “Fuck it, I’m out” and walk directly out of their cubicle.
Leading stag do organiser The Stag Company are looking for a travel enthusiast to take on-board an exciting content internship. The successful candidate will get a unique all-expenses paid for experience of traveling to four top stag do destinations (Prague, Budapest, Bratislava & Brighton), where they will take part in popular stag do activities such as adrenaline sports, bar crawls, lap dancing, shooting and more.
I didn’t even know “lap dancing” was a verb, let alone something you can get paid for. But it gets better.
The Stag Company are looking for somebody who has a genuine passion for travel and documenting their new experiences with words and images, as they will be required to create content in blog and vlog formats that showcase stag activites and destinations. This means that the intern will need strong writing skills and be comfortable and confident on camera.
I mean, yeah, sign me and all of my buddies up. When we get together and roll a dozen deep into a bar situation, we’re invincible. Confidence on camera? Showcasing stag activities and destinations? Slap my ass and call me, “Phil.” Let’s bachelor party this up.
The candidates must be available to travel over four consecutive weekends in June 2016, and must be willing to immerse themselves in the stag weekend experience.
The Stag Company will cover all travel, accommodation and activity costs leaving the intern to delve into the world of a stag. The intern will also be given a daily allowance.
Ugh, I don’t want to immerse myself in the “world of stag,” I need to immerse myself in the world of stag. Tell me more, tell me more.

If you got through that entire description without scrolling to the bottom of the page to find out where to apply, you’re probably not the person for the job. Seriously, if you’re reading this sentence and still haven’t clicked that link, you’re just not cut from the cloth that this job requires you to be cut from. .

Shibby would have been great for this, but he can’t get PTO approved.
On one hand, I think I would kill that internship. On the other, I don’t know if I can keep up for 4 weekends in a row.
If only this was a full time position.
Seems like a cruel article to write after Shibby’s article.
I’ve seen EuroTrip. They can have Bratislava.
TIL Bratislava is apparently real???
Thought process: “this sounds ridiculous, I wonder if my wife would let me do it. Oh, I just automatically disqualified myself.”
