   You know how politicians often end up in high paying roles at private companies after they leave politics?

   Sadly that also does happen in Iceland.

   However the nation's previous President decided that he would rather go and work as a national park ranger this summer (during winter time he is a professor of history at the national university).

   This just feels too wholesome not to share.
