We received a casting notice for a new Showtime reality game show called The Hydra Executives.  Essentially, imagine The Apprentice but for a $1,000,000 real estate job in Abu Dhabi.  Yes, that’s the United Arab Emirates.  The winner honestly gets shipped over there to work on a real estate dream job.  Yeah, it’s a dream job, but you’re still getting sent to what is basically a rather unpleasant general area in a pretty rough time.  That’s not taking away from the fact that Abu Dhabi is a very nice city and one of the richest in the world.

The production company needs eight Americans and eight people from England.  All candidates should have a good background in marketing, real estate, architecture, sales, or engineering.  You must also have a valid US/UK passport and be available for sixteen weeks in January.  The casting notice is below the break if you’re interested.  What do you all think about this?  I really don’t know if I’d want to be shipping over to what is in general a pretty rough area for a job only worth a million dollars.  There are million dollar jobs over here that don’t require you beating a lot of people in a competition.  For some reason this almost sounds like Arrested Development’s main plot to me.
