Professionally speaking...



Following on from the review yesterday, I was wondering: what's the weirdest or most unusual choice of profession you've come across as the focus of a novel? (I feel that could be much better phrased, but I can't think of anything at the moment.)

I think the strangest one I've read is in Edward Carey's Observatory Mansions, where the protagonist is one of those living statues, entirely covered in white.

Beat that, if you can!
