Formerly Great Britain is being run by madmen. The country is in even worse shape that we are (but not as bad as Iceland), and they're hiring "Senior Play Rangers" at $41000/year.
But not just anyone should apply. "The requirement [is] for an experienced play worker who is level 3 qualified in play work".
(That must be something like "board-certified" is over here.)
Not just level 1.
They're certainly serious about play:
[I converted British Pounds into $$]
"The Government-commissioned document ‘Making the Case for Play’, produced by the Children’s Play Council (2002), has highlighted the importance of play in children’s development and raised its profile nationally. In 2005, central Government pledged $273 million to improve children’s play facilities, and in November of that year the Big Lottery Fund (BLF) launched a $212 million Children’s Play Initiative."
Think how awful life for children would be if there were not a bunch of Serious People showing them how to do it right.
ZZ, you just crack me up
