Try being deployed up to 6 months at a time on an aircraft carrier. Work 12 -18 hour days on the flight deck for up to 60 days straight. All for ~$1500. a month before taxes. Makes doing anything else seem pretty easy.

I'd have to say being on the cleaning crew of a slaughterhouse:

Excerpt from Fast Food Nation:

"When a sanitation crew arrives at a meatpacking plant....
Three to four thousand cattle, each weighing about a thousand
pounds have been slaughtered that day... The place has to be clean by
sunrise... Workers climb ladders with hoses and spray the catwalks. They get
under tables and converyor belts, climbing right into the bloody muck,
cleaning out grease, fat, manure, leftover scraps of meat."

I've been in a small meat cutting/packing plant on kill day.

It was the single most traumatic experience of my life. (seriously)

Yeah - a slaughterhouse job would be awful - especially if you were the one who'd have to do all of the killing - even killing chickens all day would have to make you insane after awhile, even sadistic - but again, along the lines of a mortician in a way. I'll stick with computers, thank you very much.

<< I'd hate to be the guy who replaces the scented pucks at the bottom of urinals. >>

What do you mean "replaces"? I thought those were after-finishing mints? All he's gotta do is plop another one in there.

There are some that are encased in plastic so plopping one in doesn't work.

<< For those of you who remember the worst job belonging to that zoo worker in Singapore who helps animals masturbate to collect sperm from them, that story is bogus.:Q >>


I thought it was probably fake when I first saw it. It seemed kind of "Onion-esque." Now I know.

I think working at a car wash sucks. All you do all day is wash car after car and you get paid minimum wage. I feel sorry for those guys when I take my car to get washed.

Working at a car wash wouldn't be so bad - it's clean, you're in the shade, you get to check out nice cars - and it isn't exactly difficult to dry a car off with a towel... I'd much rather do that then snap chicken's necks or remove rotting organs from a partially decomposed body, sew eyelids and wire jaws shut, and then try to cake on some makup to make them look somewhat normal. WTF, yech.

(you have to watch SNL to get that...)

My vote would really be for a product tester at anal sex toy factory.

I had to dig a canal for a pipe. The earth was riddled w/big rocks that we had to break and we only had pick axes and other hand tools. I didn't even have gloves and my hands got all bistered.

I can top you all: the CEO of Apple.

I think playing in the Minnesota Orchestra is a good job, because starting pay is $80k per year.

hmm...these guys don't exist anymore (I hope), but I think being a eunuch sucks. For those who don't know what eunuchs are, they are basically guys who are castrasted at a very young age and are made into slaves for the royal family.
