'Now Hiring: Government Dog Musher to Work in Alaska'

Now hiring: one dog-musher to work for the federal government in Denali National Park, Alaska.

The National Park Service is looking for a new kennels manager, a job that includes overseeing a 31-animal dog kennel and mushing through the Alaskan wilderness on a dog sled.

So what kind of dough does a dog-sledder bring in? Between $33,477 and $66,542 a year, according to the LA Times.

Karen Fortier, a Connecticut native who held the post for nearly 10 years, calls it "a great job." "There's really nothing that quite compares to being out on the trail in the middle of winter," Fortier said. And summer is tourist season, which means three daily hourlong interpretive programs for hundreds of visitors a day. This summer, more than 50,000 tourists stopped by.. Does anyone want to move to Alaska?

Make it a good day!

Best,

Where do I sign up?  

Really, I don't think I'd make it.  I'm alergic to dog hair.  And I like to feel my limbs when I get up in the morning!

Well, it's tempting but I think I'll stay where I am for now. I can't help but wonder what the social life is like there.
