Jobs we don't suggest, but wish we had anyway: The Barefoot Bandit


In case you hadn't heard about 19 year-old Colton Harris-Moore aka "The Barefoot Bandit," we'll brief you.  It's a modern-day version of "Catch Me If You Can."  Clearly a troubled child-genius, the "Bandit" managed to steal cars, boats and even an airplane all while remaining barefoot (hence the name) before he was caught by authorities on an island.  Although we don't suggest you become a thief, no one can deny that being like James Bond is pretty bad ass, especially when you're only 19.

However, like any smart kid facing a court room, according to an ABC News Article, Harris-Moore has promised to mend his ways.  We can't hide our disappointment, but we're pretty sure that anyone with those mad skillz will probably find a respectable job somewhere.  The C.I.A., maybe?  Either way, he's got a boat load (no pun intended) of facebook fans and there's already talks of a movie.  How's that for a resume?
