Sorry, my teenage daughter has already claimed the wombat walker job, but you guys can have any of the others.

Do they pay for moving expenses from a 3rd world country in North America?
No. Sadly for both you and my daughter, you have to be Australian.

Wombats leave distinctive cubic faeces.[9] As wombats arrange these feces to mark territories and attract mates, it is believed that the cubic shape makes them more stackable and less likely to roll, which gives this shape a biological advantage.
The engineering prowess of the beaver, Australian-style.
Wait, stackable? Do they build a wall out of their poo?
Bare-nosed wombats can excrete four to eight scat pieces at a time and may poop up to 100 cubes a day. After the wombat defecates, the furry critter collects the two centimeter-sized cubes and places them around their territory, possibly to communicate with other wombats or attract mates, reports George Dvorsky for Gizmodo.
I imagine it depends on whether the opposite gender finds walls sexy or not. I don’t have a good feel for wombat aesthetics. Maybe they’re into pyramids.
EDIT: This looks more like Stonehenge-level construction than Great Wall of China stuff going on:
The Poo Tomb of the Wombat Pharaoh.
3rd world country in North America
Me explaining to the australian immigrant office why my home country is clearly 3rd world because it doesn’t have universal healthcare.
