Love taking it slow? You could be a professional tortoise walker
If you love animals and walking very slowly, then your dream job just opened up: Someone in New York City is seeking a walker for their beloved tortoise, Henry.
"I'm in search of a responsible animal lover to take Henry, my 16-year-old African tortoise, to Central Park on warm weekdays," they wrote in a Craigslist post. "I live a few short blocks from Central Park and have a pet stroller to get him to and from."
Once you're in the park, happy li'l Henry is allowed to roam free -- under your watchful eye, of course.

Yes, Henry the tortoise has a pet stroller. No, you are not dreaming.
What does this all mean? It means that, if you get the position, you'll be hanging in the park with a cool tortoise. This, aside from giving you invaluable animal care experience, will be an excellent addition to your Tinder profile.
If you're already thinking "dream job," know that you'll need a few more qualifications. First, you'll need to be quick. Henry doesn't wear a leash, and he moves faster than you might think.
You'll also need to be strong. Henry weighs about 16 pounds, and his walker will have to carry him up the stairs like the regal king he is.
Hardships aside, here's the greatest part of all: No poop scooping required.
If you're interested in the position, check out the original Craigslist post.
