Recruiting Then And Now
Ernest Shackleton’s recruiting advertisement for 1912 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition:
“Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.”
If Shackleton were advertising in the 1990’s:
“Members wanted for adventure trek. Low cost, cool sights, fun nights, thrills galore, insurance available. Get your picture in Outside magazine.”
