Garbageman used to be a very highly sought-after job a few years ago in my city.<p>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.<p>It helped that they had an employment contract that basically guaranteed them employment for life and several perks.<p>Nowadays the city government privatized most of the garbage collection, so it&#x27;s not such a great deal anymore (the employees they hired before on advantageous conditions are still employed and working though).<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.espectador.com&#x2F;sociedad&#x2F;83328&#x2F;se-realiza-el-sorteo-entre-los-anotados-para-la-imm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.espectador.com&#x2F;sociedad&#x2F;83328&#x2F;se-realiza-el-sorte...</a>
