So some days you think
you’ve just got the worst job in
the world? The hours are too
long, the pay’s too little and
basically you’d rather be doing
any other job right now than this
one, but if you think you’ve got it
bad…
Staff Training has compiled a
short (and for your sake much
revised) list of the worst jobs in
the world in the hopes that
when the work blues strike you’ll
be able to reflect on all the
reasons your job DOESN’T suck
quite as much as you think it
does.
We’ve left some of the more icky
jobs (like “halitosis and fart
smeller”, and we’re serious…) off
the list because, well, euw (you
probably didn’t want to read
about that anyway, did you?), but
we must warn you that what’s
left is by no means a pretty
picture.
1. Mosquito Researcher
In Brazil the mosquitoes are a bit
smarter than in Africa, not falling
for the usual traps set by
scientists. The only way to catch
mosquitoes in Brazil is for the
researcher to offer himself as
bait, being bitten sometimes up
to 3 000 times in the process. Oh,
did we mention that some of
these mosquitoes transmit
malaria?
2. Cat Food Quality Controller
Cats care about what they eat as
much as we do. That’s why there
are strict quality control tests
performed on it before it’s
allowed to hit the shelves. Jon
Hanson from Britain describes
some of the tests: The first
involved dunking his head into a
tub of cat food to detect (with
his nose) its freshness; the
second involved shoving his
forearms into the cat food where
he would feel for any bony bits;
and the third involved actually
prodding the food with his
fingers so he could test how
gristly it was. Gross.
3. Sewer Cleaner
If you thought Cat Food Quality
Controller was bad you’ll love this
one. Imagine being up to your
knees, everyday, in a river of
human excrement… We won’t go
into too much detail here, suffice
it to say that you get more job
satisfaction on your worst day
than these guys ever do.
4. Highway Roadkill Remover
Dodging traffic may be bad
enough, but doing so with the
intention of collecting the
carcasses of animals unlucky
enough to have been in the
wrong place at the wrong time?
No thanks.
5. Portable Toilet Cleaner
Let’s be honest, we only use
these toilets when there are
absolutely NO other options
available. And even then we try to
touch as few surfaces as possible
and get out as quickly as a cat in
a bath. Now spare a moment for
the poor souls who, armed with
little more than a plastic bag and
a high-powered hose, have to
clean as many as 60 of these a
day.
