Blog guy, I know you’ve given a lot of good career advice, helping to steer recent college grads away from bad jobs, so I’m wondering if you’ve seen rock bottom. I mean, a career path that is worse than all the awful ones you’ve warned us about.
You mean, one where I think wow, if that dude took a job looking down gun barrels or putting snakes in his mouth it would be a promotion? Yes, that would be Fernando Aguirre, an Osama bin Laden look-alike.
Wow! I see what you mean! And where does he work?
He patrols the most dangerous slums of Bogota, Colombia, and reports small crimes to police.
He does what? Yikes! Still, I see in the picture he carries a pretty wicked rifle.
Yeah. It’s a toy. I’m not making this up. Here’s a slideshow of Fernando on the “job” and here is a video report…

The real Osama wouldn’t last two minutes in Bogota.
