You just have to be willing to move to Saudi Arabia...

... and chop off people's heads...

Saudi Arabia needs more executioners

...Saudi authorities have faced the shortage of executioners and consider an opportunity to replace traditional methods of execution with execution by shooting....

...

Three men of this group were sentenced to death by shooting, according to Saudi newspaper Okaz. This "new" form of Sharia punishment may soon displace beheading, crucifixion, quartering, stoning or burying a person alive. The authorities recognized that traditional executions were quite expensive "events" as they are performed in public and require high security costs. In addition, there is a serious shortage of skilled butchers.

Quote:

One of them - the "leading" Saudi executioner Muhammad Saad Beshi, said in an interview with the Saudi newspaper Arab News in 2003, that he was decapitating more than ten people a day. He always keeps his sword sharp and even lets his children clean it. "It surprises people how quickly I can separate the head from the body," the newspaper quoted Beshi.

(I know it's Pravda but damn. I did some checking and Muhammad Saad Beshi did give such an interview...)

Could be a short lived position

Singed · 03-15-13, 02:14 PM

Kind of a strange gig, but some folks really want to get a head in life.

Dunno

But I'm pretty sure you're not forced to be on it

There are no jobs because greedy people like me have four, leaving none for lazy folks who would do a bad job of it anyway.

Now, telling that Saudi-Arabia does *shocking* things is a bit hypocritical ?

This is probably a harsh reply to the OP, but it is us (the 'West) who supports Saudi Arabia, sends them weapons, started a war against Iraq because of them, and generally are very nice to them, especially after we know what the Islam schools are telling people there, which then again leads to guys like Bin Laden .. but we still pump money and build them monstrous architecture in the desert, for tourists.

If we so so condemn them for training terrorists (no that was not in Iraq) and find them uncivilized for having their Shariah and whatever, why do we support them then with everything ? Isn't it oil, weapons exports and a drone base

It makes the world go around.

America doesn't need to like Saudi Arabia, but it does need it.

For now at least.

Well this job has a great benefit it is very easy to get a head.

A former Saudi citizen told me once that they usually use swords and the families of the condemned will pay money for their family member to be one of the first on the block.you see they do not sharpen the blades after each "removal" and it only cuts in one clean blow the first head or so after that it takes a few swings.I know a few guys that where stationed in Saudi that went watch a beheading they regretted it their stories confirm the dullness of the blades for last for few on the block so to speak as they normally make them squat on their knees.
