Even if it were the last job on earth, I wouldn't dream of becoming a loan collector. It's a hassle, to say the least. Here's a slightly edited joke from www.workjoke.com which shares a strategy for collecting on tough accounts:
Jones applied to a BANK for a job, but he had no experience. He was so intense that the manager gave him a tough account with the promise that if he collected it, he'd get the job.
Two hours later, Jones came back with the entire amount. "Amazing!" the manager said. "How did you do it?"
"Easy," Jones replied. "I told him if he didn't pay up, I'd tell all his other creditors he paid us."
