If You Know What A Polar Bear Looks Like And Want To Live In Svalbard, Norway Has A Job For You:

Let’s see … lifeguard, camp counselor, summer intern … polar bear spotter! Can you scream "polar bear" at the top of your lungs? If so and you’re in need of a summer job, there may be none cooler (literally) than the position being offered by the governor’s office of the Svalbard islands.

Falling midway between Norway and the North Pole, the archipelago is in need of a polar bear spotter. Yes, a polar bear spotter, whose responsibility will be to warn researchers doing projects in the region. Despite their languid demeanor as they frolic with cubs as snapped by wildlife photographers, polar bears are seriously fierce. And in the archipelago, polar bears outnumber humans; 3,000 polar bears to 2,400 people.
