Ideal for: thrill seekers with a death wish
Job Specifications: A madman has dynamite strapped to his chest, and is
threatening to blow up a building. You have to talk him out of it. One wrong
word and the deaths of hundreds are on your conscience. No pressure.
Drawbacks: Though you don’t really have a heavy day—how many terrorist
threats can you get in a month—when there is a problem it’s a pretty darn
big one. The entire world is watching you, and if something goes wrong,
everything you said and did will be analyzed by news agencies, the congress,
and talk show hosts.
Perks: If it doesn’t work out you can always become a divorce attorney.
