Human Scarecrow

When 22-year-old Jamie Fox graduated from Bangor University, he didn't know he would end up with a job as a human scarecrow. A farmer pays him $400 a week to sit in a lounge chair, read, play ukulele and shoo away birds from the crops. "I get to sit and read for a lot of the time but whenever I see the partridges, I have to get up and scare them off … A couple of my friends in busier, more generously-paid jobs, are slightly envious,” said Jamie. Uh, so are we. [Oddity Central]
