最“寒”的工作:南極電工

Tony McLaughlan would argue that his role as an electrician inAntarctica for the British Antarctic Survey is the best. The -50Ctemperatures and the fact that Mr McLaughlan is 9,000 miles fromhome in an almost uninhabitable wilderness mean that demand for anelectrician will be low. However, the £23,000 salary, free food andpaid rent meant that thousands of people jammed phone lines whenthe job was first advertised on the BBC.

TonyMcLaughlan也許不太同意他在南極爲英國南極科考隊做的工作是最好的。畢竟在這種零下50度的低溫,離家9000公里遠,不太適合人類生存的地方當個電工意味着你有錢賺都沒地方花。不過2.3萬英鎊的薪水包食宿的待遇還是在這份工作剛在BBC登廣告招聘的時候就讓英國人擠破了頭。
