Are you a female who can you hammer nails with the best of them? How are your igloo building skills?
The British Antarctic Survey may
have the
job of your dreams. The BAS, a scientific research organization, has
launched a recruitment drive to attract tradeswomen. They are in
search of all type of folks who can work with with hands including electricians, plumbers, carpenters, steel erectors,
chefs and boat handlers to work for 6-18 months at its five research stations on and around the Antarctic.
The starting salary is $34,640 plus an Antarctic allowance. Not bad, really. I mean, what are you going to buy there
anyway? That all goes to the bank.
Oh, and all walrus blubber, igloo accommodations and travel are paid for.
