The Independent’s “I Want Your Job” feature features a cartographer — namely, Iain MacDonald of Collins Geo. Swoon at the exciting life of a cartographer: tedious painstaking research!

Tedious painstaking research is not only my line of work, it’d be an upgrade, like accountancy to lion taming banking.

Erm. Where did that come from?
