Beefeaters
AKA Yeomen
About: There are two types of Yeomen.
The Yeomen Warders are a group which
guard the Tower of London and date
back to the 1500's when King Henry VII
reigned. Their principle was to guard the
Tower of London but these days they
act as tour guides and are a tourist attraction themselves; as it is an honour to
be a Yeomen Warder.
Then there are the Yeomen of the Guard
who are the Queen's bodyguard and
protect the palace.

Priests for the
Church of
England
About: Bishops are leaders in a church.
Bishops are similar to priests and ministers,
but they oversee a larger area and have
more duties associated with upper management. If you see a church like a business, then bishops are like district managers who oversee multiple branches of the
corporation.
Entry requirements: The three degrees are; deacon, priest, bishop. You usually move through these in that order, based
on your experience and how well you serve
in your role. In England, an advert is put out
and nominations from the public are sent to
the Crown Nominations Commission. After
the selection process and if the candidate
accepts the position then the Queen formally appoints him to the post.
Pay: £39,020 – this isn't including working
costs such as travel, hospitality and pensions.
