Economic times are tough, but a bad day on this job comes with bite marks. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is paying people $25 per hour to work as "crocodile response agents," to keep the reptiles away from residential areas in the Florida Keys and capture them if needed.

The commission said no experience is necessary for this unusual job and agents will train willing applicants.

"Handling any animal can be dangerous if not done correctly, but it's clear that the commission intends to train those applying for this position," crocodile expert Adam Britton told FoxNews.com.

Although they were previously endangered, saltwater crocodiles now number 1,500 to 2,000 and range from the keys up north to Miami and beyond.

and I do believe there is a temperment difference between SW crocs and gators.

That's a biz in which one could literally "lose their ass"
