Ideal for: anyone who ever dreamed of having a house
by the sea.
Job specifications: Before the Mayo Clinic and John Hopkins, the sick and
ailing had to flock to seaside resorts, whose fresh air and healing waters
supposedly had “recuperative effects”. As resort assistant, your job is to
assist these poor souls, helping them in and out of the waters and sponging
their sore-ridden bodies with a thin cloth.
Drawbacks: While not as gory as, say, being a body inspector, the chances
of infection still remain relatively high. The air’s thick with all sorts of
potentially fatal viruses, and you never know if the bubbles in the water
are from hidden springs or mutated bacteria that have formed colonies in the
dirty, urine-enriched pools.
Perks: Think of it this way: if you do get sick, you get an employee’s
discount. Which basically means you can stay in the dirtiest side of the
water and pretend to work while waiting to die. Lots of time on the beach
and a great suntan.
