Cutest job in the world not cushy

Labels such as "the world's best job" or "happiest job,” are not enough to describe the reality of what it means to work as a panda keeper.
Training pandas, an essential part of the job, is extremely dangerous, said Zhang Dalei, a panda keeper who also explained that they have to teach pandas how to survive before they’re released into the wild.
Aside from the risks, panda keepers fall under intense supervision from worldwide panda-lovers as part of their live broadcasts.
China had almost 2,000 giant pandas in the wild at the end of 2015, up from 1,100 in 2000.  Today, there are 422 pandas in captivity, according to China's State Forestry Administration.  (Global Times)
