When I was unemployed (7 years ago), I worked [off the books] picking up dead animals from various vetinarians offices around Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and The Bronx.
It was a decent paying job, and it lasted about 4 months -- where I quit. Reason for quitting? I had to go to a park and chop up a dead horse and pick up the pieces and load it onto my truck.
Also, I smelled like dead all the time.
Fuck that...lol
