Professional Vampire Hunter


It's occurred to me over the years, that possibly the most challenging job existing over the ages is the position of Vampire hunter, or the Dhampir, as they say in the Southern Balkans.

This professional or semi-professional vampire hunter is employed by local government, who pays the Dhampir to remove any unwanted vampires from the area. Depending on the way you look at it, you would hope that you were offered not only good overtime rates for the uncomfortable hours of 20:00-05:00, but also that medical insurance, and possibly some danger money, were thrown into the deal.

But alas, not just anyone can apply for this position. The Dhampir's post must be filled by a person who is half vampire themselves. So if any of you out there has a mother or father who is a vampire, and you don't mind hunting down those who are partly your own kind, this could be the job for you.
