Help Wanted: Crocodile Handlers, No Experience Needed. -- $25/hrLooking for a job with a little adventure to it? Florida conservation officials are recruiting "crocodile response agents" to help corral the wayward reptiles. No experience required.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is planning to hire two to four more part-time agents — there is currently just one — to respond to calls when crocodiles stray onto human turf in the Florida Keys, the string of wetland islands at the southern tip of the state. Crocodile response agents "assist in handling human-American Crocodile conflicts," wrote Carli Segelson, spokesperson for the Florida commission’s south region, in an email response to msnbc.com questions. "Their duties include, site visits, captures, translocations, carcass recoveries, other duties as needed." http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/12/12170703-wanted-crocodile-handlers-no-experience-required

6. There is only one way to get experience handling Crocodiles
And that either becomes a leaning experience or career ender.
I prefer to watch them from a safe distance myself. |
