Garbageman used to be a very highly sought-after job a few years ago in my city. 160.000 out of a population of a million registered for a lottery to be considered for one of the 200 spots back in 2006. It helped that they had an employment contract that basically guaranteed them employment for life and several perks. Nowadays the city government privatized most of the garbage collection, so it's not such a great deal anymore (the employees they hired before on advantageous conditions are still employed and working though). http://www.espectador.com/sociedad/83328/se-realiza-el-sorteo-entre-los-anotados-para-la-imm http://www.espectador.com/sociedad/83328/se-realiza-el-sorte...
