It's a dirty, dangerous job, but somebody's gotta do it and that somebody could be you.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is looking for some risk-taking individuals.
The Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program is hiring trappers to keep those pesky gators from showing up in Broward backyards.
The job isn't for the the faint of heart or people without trapping skills, and there's not much money in it, so don't expect to become South Florida's Steve Irwin.
The FWC is looking for self-starters, which means they want you to provide your own trapping equipment and have personal liability for their own health and welfare.
No one with a criminal record will be considered, and you'll have to have a cell phone, e-mail address and Alligator Trapping License.
