It turns out that the country of Hungary is in need of shepherds for its million-plus sheep. And not just that: "...shepherds must have accountancy skills and, since the country joined the EU last year, be capable of applying for grants..." After all, as one former architect turned shepherd says of his new profession, "Being a shepherd isn't just sitting next to your dog on the field all day, smoking a pipe." :)
I don't think becoming a shepherd is going to be one of my occupations anytime soon. ;) While I do have the accounting skills, here in S'pore we have a distinct lack of sheep. :) Still, some of history's greatest men were shepherds in their day: Amos (a Jewish prophet who is not mentioned in the Qur'an), Ibrahim, Musa, Daud and, of course, Muhammad (peace be upon them all).
