Ideal for: Anyone who gets on well with the
public and ghosts.
Job Specifications: Her Majesty has put you in charge of protecting the
Tower of London, one of the most haunted places in the world. During the
day, your task basically involves making sure that the tourists don’t leave
soda cans in one of the most important places in British history. But then
night falls, and you’re left alone—or so you think. While you make your
rounds, you occasionally hear the bloodcurdling screams of the Tower’s
former inmates, eerie footsteps in the halls, and the clank of what sounds
like the heavy chains in the torture chamber. Just in case you don’t get
suitably scared out of your wits, ghostly figures suddenly appear at the
foot of the stairs.
Drawbacks: You were given some of the world’s best military training and
can take down a man twice your size. Unfortunately, nothing in the manual
says anything about how to deal with poltergeists and angry spirits. Running
away would brand you a coward and is tantamount to insubordination. Best to
hold your post until you’re moved to Buckingham Palace.
Perks: Given the Tower’s reputation, the actual risk of running into a
burglar is pretty small. You’re the only one stupid enough to be there at
night.
