Day in the Work Life: Bail bondsman

Bail bondsman George Zouvelos

If you like financial risk and don't mind working with alleged thieves, swindlers and otherwise unsavory characters, you might make a good bail bondsmen. Make sure to lock up the safe . . .

George Zouvelos has been a bail bondsman for four years. "I have a good relationship with a lot of the judges," he says. "Cordial. I don't repulse them, like some bail bondsmen do, because I'm honest and when I give my word I keep it as best I can, or I won't give it at all." (Daniel Weiss)
