As someone who works with a Lego Certified Professional, I can say it is a dream job for me! Not just because we build with Lego every day, but also the design challenges and getting to work with other Lego lovers too!

[@TiagoCatarino]

That’s awesome!! Who do you work with?! I would love to check one of those workshops, must be amazing

[@gavdawiziscool]

@@TiagoCatarino I'm proud to say I work for Ryan McNaught at Brickman in Australia. We have an awesome workshop. It's basically floor to ceiling containers of every element we know of and a big work space to build in. Honestly, it's great fun!

[@socialist-oat]

@@gavdawiziscool That sounds amazing! Probably the dream job of any Lego fan. So lucky!

[@Klementaun]

How do you got your job?

[@gavdawiziscool]

@@Klementaun actually just the same as a regular job, we have job openings and do interviews. There are a few lego challenges we ask of potential applicants but each LCP team has their own secret requests so I can't reveal these here ;-) We're always looking for creative applicants!

[@DanielMahu]

This is one of the most informative videos about Lego I've ever watched here or anywhere else, and all packed in less than 9 minutes. It could very well be a TV program. Congrats!

[@TiagoCatarino]

Check my other videos ;)

[@LegoSonicBoy]

7:29 All New Bricks is my favorite speed build channel of all time, the work and cinematography Paul puts into not only the stop-motion but the actual build process itself is on a whole other level. Really happy to see the shout-out. And you're right about there being an audience for just about anything. I don't plan on making KZbin videos regularly but I have an old big LEGO set and I want to try recording an unboxing and build video of it, for the simple reason that no unboxing video for it exists. But I also want to make it somewhat professional-looking and well-edited, not just prop up my camera at the side and record it with little to no setup or editing.

[@TiagoCatarino]

He’s great! I don’t think I’d have the patience to do what he does!

[@lraoasisbottle3052]

I never actually thought this "Master Builder" job was possible but it's still a great stream to choose

[@ivobo6227]

Thank you Tiago! As an avid LEGO fan and recent collector, I am looking for a medium to share creativity on and this honestly helps! Working on becoming a content creator, but we shall see...

[@ProWierdchamp]

Thanks for his video. Ever since I was a little kid, I always had a passion for Legos. I got my first Lego set when I was about 5 to 6 years old, the Epic Dragon Battle from Ninjago. When I was putting the set together for the first time, it felt like heaven. Hearing the snapping together of pieces in such a way blew my mind away. And now, as a young adult, I still build and collect Lego sets and get this: Even build my own creations with Lego pieces I have in my bins at home! The more Lego sets I bought, the more stuff I learned from them. And now, my biggest wish of all is to be working for the Lego group, designing Big Scale cars and Objects and people from movies.

[@MsMotherWolf]

I do 4 & 5 myself. It is something of a wait on the Investing side to have a set finally sell. As to the reselling bricks, that is extremely time consuming once you've gotten the lot in question to sort through it. Filtering out the non-LEGO and off brand bricks from the pile. Washing, finding broken pieces, sorting and listing them up. When selling on Bricklink, consider a minimum buy ammount to make it worth while when pulling orders.

[@abladao]

I recently got a job at Lego in Billund, super excited to my start date, close to the end of the year. Thanks for all the good content you put up Tiago, your pro and con video you did some time ago really help me our during the interviewing process!

[@That0neJawn]

Amazing! What is the job?

[@abladao]

@@That0neJawn thanks a lot! 3d modeler specialist :)

[@That0neJawn]

@@abladao Really cool! Best of Luck! :D

[@socialist-oat]

Awesome video as always! I've looking for a video like this for a while and as usual, you have delivered. Thanks so much Tiago!

[@bobhope707]

Hey Tiago I just wanted to stop by and give you a big thank you. I've been going through some mental health struggles lately, its been tough but your videos have helped me get through these difficulties. I used to love Legos as a kid and I've been dipping my feet back into the space recently, and you specifically have been at the forefront of that. Its been a big help, you've made a difference in my life and I wanted to share that w/ you. Thank you for what you do Tiago, you make the world a better place. Best of luck to you! :)

[@nopenahnope]

I needed this!

[@Hypefury02]

This is very inspiring for me and other people thanks!

[@FogzArt]

The Lego community is AMAZING and I would love to do it as a job!

[@bluebaronoz360]

Fantastic video Tiago! I rediscovered my love for LEGO earlier this year and am currently trying my hand at investing as well as content creation which I am thoroughly enjoying.

[@18birko1]

Great video, Tiago! Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@melissabranham5283]

Thank you so much for this video and all the other amazing videos you provide on your channel.

[@user-zh4vo1kw1z]

To me, Flipping and investing feel counter to a passion for LEGO. It drives up prices of new and used bricks and sets, making it harder to enjoy if you don't have a huge disposable income. It also reduces the possibility of stumbling across cool stuff for cheap like in charity stores, which is part of the joy of browsing those and finding it as a passion you never knew you had.

[@brikbarn]

great list to share and highlight the professional opportunities with LEGO.

[@thebrickhousenz]

Great advice!! Been thinking about doing some KZbin LEGO content for a while now and this may be the push I need!! Thanks from my little slice of the world. 🇳🇿

[@Brickhausen]

Your movie shows some truly interesting thoughts. And as you were working for LEGO, some of the them are coming from an insider, who knows what he is talking about. Thanks for sharing this with the community.

[@MindStork]

You are doing a great job, both at Lego and as a content creator. 👌

[@ABrickDreamer]

Always inspiring Tiago. I’ve been trying for number 1 and number 5. Hopefully one day I’ll get there

[@jayus2033]

You would be the master at polybags for sure and I hope you get to work at lego

[@jayus2033]

And you’d be the master at the diorama type Star Wars sets

[@ABrickDreamer]

@@jayus2033 thanks man, i'm glad you like my work. But I still have to improve a lot, I'll keep bricking

[@JRodonBricks]

Trying the LEGO Content Creator thing as a side hustle for 8 months. Still far away from getting monetized on KZbin, but already learned a lot and found other ways to try to earn some money, like making my own designs and selling the instructions.

[@BRICKOMEDIA]

I'm beginning to try it out, nice to see another new creator

[@brikbarn]

good luck with growing your channel and other opportunities.

Oh my god Tiago! I just noticed that Lego store pic @1:38 is my first and local Lego store in Canberra Australia! Haha can’t believe it’s in your video

[@IeatcheeseLBB]

Haven’t watched the whole video yet but I know it’ll be great

[@Nostrite]

Ive gotta say, the lego ship in a bottle set is by far my favourite set ever to exist, and seeing now that you designed it, ♥

[@breadlord2855]

I make digital Legos as a hobby and usually post some on social media. I have been offered to become an official content creator but I don't feel like I'm ready yet. Besides that, designing Legos has always been my dream

[@TheJereguy]

Tiago love the channel and content. I'll be taking the plunge this year to start streaming. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@TiagoCatarino]

Streaming is hard! Good luck!

[@TheCoolFactor]

I like the LEGO KZbinr part. Should probably try it sometime!

[@taqresu5865]

Thanks for the information. I think that of all the available options, being a LEGO Content Creator is perhaps the most accessible for me. There are no Official LEGO Parks, Stores, or other notable Venues in the state I live in. I've only visited a LEGO Store once in my life, and it was during the Pandemic (so still no Pick-a-Bricks cup for me). I could potentially start with some semblance of a Portfolio because I have participated in 3 LEGO Displays at a local toy store (of which I still have images). As of this moment, I am just trying to work on organizing my LEGO Elements. During the mentioned displays, disorganization really hindered my creativity and killed the time I had to work. My 2022 New Years resolution is to change that, and I pretty much have until the end of Summer to get it done (when the Annual Display and themes are announced).

[@Jumpei_Mitsui]

Thank you for introducing my job as LEGO Certified Professional. I hope it stimulates your creativity :D

[@TiagoCatarino]

Thanks for providing the materials!! I would love to visit your studio one day! :D

[@LEGOLapseBuilds]

This is a great video. So awesome that you got 100,000 subs in 1 year. I've been posting videos for a few years now and just passed 100 subs lol. Any suggestions for getting more subscribers??

[@zam8135]

The LEGO designers have been on fire lately; Tiago try some of the new Speed Champion sets. I got the new Toyota Supra and it was one of the most unique and fun builds I've had in a long time. It was so intricate and used so many new building techniques, I believe its something right up you ally!

[@TiagoCatarino]

For sure! I’ve been looking at those with great interest. Might have to get a few

[@hamsterproductionsofficial]

Let's not forget LEGO stop motion animation 😉

[@brianpark3395]

I honestly don’t know if I could do any of these including the first 2 but if I could work at a Lego store or theme park that would be a perfect job I would like to do and hope working there for either of those would be full time

[@omeganeoz]

i honestly kinda want to try making a few lego videos, i just need to figure out some kind of setup i would use when i move soon, i have skills in editing since ive made gaming videos before and i know what kinda style i would go for too. a mix of your quality and generic stud and sacredbricks' energy and editing

[@mariovitic2515]

Hi Tiago, thanks for the video. Could you make one about giving first hand experience how a Lego recruitment process looks like?

[@TiagoCatarino]

There’s a documentary with Justin Ramsden that is very insightful

[@willemgroenewegen5934]

Besides the documentary TC mentions, there is also an insightful series about the running of a Lego park in the UK with a recent recruit's experiences filmed in it.

Nice video! I would love to have a lego store. Id resell online, and have a physical store because i think that would be extremely satisfying. Unfortunately i don't have alot of money to startup. I might pick through my Minifigures and see if i have any gems in there to trade up or sell for inventory. Thanks for the video!

It’s my dream to become a master builder at LEGOLAND Windsor, recently I built my own giant LEGO minifigure like the ones at LEGOLAND! It took me 5 months but it was worth it (although now it is in pieces because I’m trying to figure out how to make the legs move!)

[@modelbuildingsecrets]

I was a Master Builder at LEGOLAND California, and then I become a Freelance LEGO Artist, I could have become a LEGO Certified Professional over a decade ago, but I turned them down as I prefer to be independent. I still work for LEGO off and on to this day occasionally.
