Default Lake host: Nice work if you can get it

From The UNION LEADER...

A program intended to protect the state's lakes from invasive exotic plants means work for 220 people across the state this summer.

For about $10 an hour, each "lake host" sits in a lawn chair at one of the state's 87 manned ramps with a clipboard and a pile of literature on milfoil and wait to greet boaters.

The hosts ask owners for permission to check the vessels for weeds hanging off the hull or trailer. They analyze the plant life and dispose of it, then go back to sitting in the lawn chair. Boat owners can refuse to allow the inspection.

Yes, you can get paid for watching boats go in and out of the water.
