Ideal for: budding laboratory assistants desperate
to manhandle angry disease infested rodents.
Job specifications: It’s not exactly a complicated job: You get a very big
stick, then you run after the vermin and knock the hell .
Drawbacks: Rats aren’t likely to sit around and wait for you to bash their
brains out, so be prepared to scurry through the streets of India, diving
into dark and grimy alleys, and stepping into large puddles of sewage and
human refuse. If you catch one, that’s great. That leaves you, oh…999,999
rats to go.
Perks: You get paid well, but set aside some for insurance: vermin carry
all sorts of diseases, and the bites and cuts can get infected pretty
quickly. And though it’s not the kind of job where you’ll get to sign a
contract, you’re sure of job security. India’s rat population exceeds the
human population by at least one billion. Of course, you’d probably want to
do something else in a couple of years. With your experience with dirty
rats, you might as well go into politics.
