JAPANESE TOWN OFFERING $85K FOR ANYONE WHO CAN BE A NINJA
JULY 19TH, 2018
Facing a ninja shortage, one Japanese town is willing to pay anyone $85,000 if they want to be one. Since the ninja population is on the decline and aging, the town of Iga is hoping to boost their numbers.
Iga is about 280 miles from Tokyo in central Japan and claims to be thebirthplace of the ninja. Sally Herships recently reported the town of Iga’s woes on an episode of NPR‘s “Planet Money” podcast. However, there were also several benefits of the ninja lifestyle outlined as well.
“This job does have a lot to offer,” Herships explains. “First of all, the pay is quite competitive. Today, ninjas can earn anything from $23,000 to about $85,000 — which is a really solid salary, and in fact, a lot more than real ninjas used to earn in medieval Japan.”
