What would be your perfect job?

Would this job description be enticing?  Over 700 people applied.

How enticing does this job posting sound?
MEN WANTED
For hazardous journey
Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete
Darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful
Honour and recognition in case of success.

This was the ad that Ernest Shackleton took out of the paper for his legendary trip to Antarctica.  This is one of the greatest leaders that I have ever read about.  He brought his whole crew back alive after countless setbacks should have killed them.
