China Employs Professional Panda Huggers for $32,000 a Year

Do you believe in the concept of hugging? Hugging is none less than a stress buster. It is directly related to the hormones in our body. The oxytocin hormone gets released and makes all fuzzy and warm. It also helps us manage our anxiety and helps keep our fears buried deep down. So, the China Panda Association thought of utilizing this very aspect of hugging on Giant Pandas. They have been offered jobs in this arena for the past year. Not only are they offering a simple job but also at a lucrative salary. The salary is about $32,000 per year. They mostly expect white collar people to come forward for this job. Pandas have been on the brink of extinction. They need special care and attention for which these measures have been taken into account.
All you need is to be 22 years of age and be able to read, write and listen to every panda for everyday. You can cuddle them, hug them and take utmost care. This job is not that heavy on stress like the corporate ones. Hope this endeavor of hug Panda concept is a rage among youth and helps Panda bring out from the claws of extinction.
