<p>Sign up for a job and book yourself a trip to the only continent on the plant without a bank: Antarctica.</p>
<p>Well, there is an ATM, but you have to travel a bit to get there.</p>
<p>The British Antarctic Survey is looking for a few good folks who are willing to sign on for 2 1/2 year stints in the perpetually winter wonderland.</p>
<p>Your new home would be Rothera Base, which boasts a population of around 100 in the summer and 20 in the winter.</p>
<p>The people who&#8217;ve signed on range from plumbers to doctors. Many are single; some end up marrying a partner they met there.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not a bad deal. Salaries start at just less than $30,000, and food and housing is provided.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a great place to save money; most residents bank the better part of their salaries.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll have deposits for houses when we come back and ideally the house prices will be affordable,&#8221; said one 25-year-old resident.</p>
<p>Still, it pays to take precautions.</p>
<p>One pioneer said she had her tonsils and her wisdom teeth removed before setting off on her adventure.</p>
