Here are easily the Worst Jobs in the World!
#12 Armpit Sniffer This challenging role is provided by deodorant
manufacturers obviously.
The professional armpit sniffers spend much of their days in a hot, sweaty room while
generous volunteers offer their armpit odors after using the new deodorant that's being
tested.
Armpit sniffers may spend their days in sniffing up to 60 armpits an hour, and then write up
reports on the effectiveness of the different deodorants involved.
The work requires both a good sense of smell and obviously a willingness to smell someone
else's sweaty body.
So what exactly is the pay like?
Salaries range from $19,000 to $52,000 a year, varying with experience and seniority.
Interesting…...seems like a position without much room for growth!
To be honest, you'd have to pay me Only people with the most sensitive noses
get the job…...but seriously, I'm just wondering how many people actually apply for
the job?
That and what's the average tenure in this position?
11.
Sperm Bank Cleaner Without wanting to get too graphic here, sperm
bank floors can end up being a nightmare.
Since aiming your deposit into a little cup can be a difficult task, much of the fluid
ends up on the floor and probably the surrounding furniture.
l mean, now that I think about it, remind me to never go to one of these places, ugh.
But of course, someone has to clean up after each session to keep the place sanitary.
You're probably thinking something along the lines of, 'Luckily this is all kept
in one little room'!
Actually, if you think about it, there has to be quite a few occasions where the spillage
can happen on the way to handing in the sample to some poor specimen handler.
Which of course, could potentially become a danger to any other people in the area at
the time.
Oh yeah, not to mention, slightly embarrassing.
10.
Manure Inspector In case you weren't sure, manure is simply
animal waste which is used as fertiliser to grow crops.
That's why sometimes the countryside can smell fairly bad, but to be honest, personally,
that's the charm of driving down the road in the countryside.
I think you know what I'm talking about.
Anyways, like all products, the manure has to be fit for purpose.
The inspector's duty is to check the manure of pigs, horses, cows, elephants, or just
about any animal that can poop enough to affect a patch of land.
These inspectors have to make sure that the manure is clear of contamination or infections
which could lead to potential harm to the customer's crops.
This job, as you can imagine, is certainly very dirty work, but, obviously it can also
be quite hazardous to the inspector's health.
The manure has to also be checked for any harmful gasses.
In some cases, even, bacterial contamination can occur which can lead to many horrible
illnesses such as Salmonellosis, Brucellosis and Ringworm.
My question to a manure inspector would be, "So, how'd you get into the sh*t inspecting
business?"
9.
Crocodile Trainer One of the most dangerous and downright stupidest
jobs on this list would most likely be this one, the ever infamous crocodile trainer.
Highly popular in zoos in Thailand, it's hard to imagine when this idea first came
up and a committee agreed it would be great for tourists.
Training techniques can vary from a simple 'Obeying commands' routine, or for the
extreme adrenalin junkies, taming a full sized crocodile to the extent it will hold its mouth
open for the trainer place his/her arm, leg or even head inside it.
Ughhhhhhh!!!!
As you can imagine, yes there are several recorded occasions of this backfiring.
In January 2017, in a Thai zoo of course, a trainer had his arm chopped in half in front
of visitors as he held his arm in the croc's mouth for just too long.
He was one of the lucky ones, as crocodiles have even been recorded to have grabbed their
trainer by the head and perform their trademark 'd**th roll', again in front of an on
looking public.
Seriously, if I ever saw this live, I'd just puke all over myself.
UGH.
If there's anything you learn from watching this video, it's DON'T BE A CROCODILE
TRAINER!!!
8.
Vomit Comet Sick Catcher The reduced gravity aircraft, nicknamed 'The
Vomit Comet', is a popular bucket list option for many people around the world.
It can be an amazing experience and the closest a lot of us can get to experiencing zero-gravity
in space.
However, this flight wasn't dubbed the 'Vomit-Comet' for nothing.
For some passengers, floating around and bumping into aircraft walls can get a bit too much,
and as you can imagine, induce motion sickness.
But this is almost zero gravity, so what comes up, doesn't exactly fall straight down.
To avoid the floating blob of sick ruining the day for the other passengers, vomit catchers
are employed.
Highly skilled in this difficult working environment, their duty is to quickly catch the floating
puke with a specially designed sack on a stick.
My question is, why wouldn't you use a hand held vacuum?!
Wouldn't that be much better?! 7.
Professional Poop Diver Down under in Australia, particularly in Melbourne,
instead of using artificial chemicals to break down their sewage, they rely on bacteria.
Wow, I actually didn't even know that.
Hey, you learn something new every day!
Annnnnywayyyys, with this being the case, the city's poop is left exposed to aerate
in, what can only be described as giant mixing pots.
Wow, THAT doesn't sound disgusting.
These huge wells of poo are constantly churned by huge mixers to keep the sewage flowing
nicely.
Ah, but, what happens when one of these machines goes wrong?
Well, it's down to the professional poop diver to be lowered down into the pool of
poo and rectify this literally sh*tty situation.
Thankfully, these workers are provided with air-tight face masks, protective dry-suits
and oxygen tanks so they aren't too exposed to the elements.
However, the workers who hose them down afterwards?
Hold up, which job is worse?!
6.
Pet Food Taster Yes, cat and dog food products still must
abide by food trading standards such as responsible sourcing of meat and nutritional levels.
But most importantly, it must be fit for human consumption in case it's eaten accidentally
or the times that it's eaten by those that are extremely unfortunate and desperate.
Or the times frat guys decide to incorporate pet food as part of their hell week rituals.
Although this job is featured on this list, there are generally positive vibes from people
working in this role.
In the UK, pet-food tasters can earn a decent £20,000 - £50,000 a year for eating a slightly
bad smelling bit of tinned meat, writing down their tasting notes, and declaring whether
or not it is appealing to a cat or dog.
Pffffft!
5.
Mosquito Bite Victim Yes it's true, there are people willing
to stand around in a forest and welcome a swarm of mosquitoes to dine on them.
Now why on earth would this job exist?
Well, since the outbreak of the Zika virus from Brazilian mosquitoes in 2015, researchers
have been curious as to whether their local climate could be a potential breeding ground
for the species.
Different kinds of habitats which are seen as a suitable home for mosquito breeding grounds,
such as marshes, or lakes are located, and a very brave individual is told to simply,
er... stand there and get bitten a bunch of times.
It sounds like a miserable job, indeed, but some passionate workers say that the research
can potentially save lives, thus making it slightly more bearable.
I GUESS.
I wonder if these guys who say this hug trees afterwards?
4.
Marine Snot Collector We're talking big underwater boogies here.
Well, technically at least.
It's actually whales' lung mucus which is blown out when the whales swim to the surface
to take another breath.
The spray they give off contains a generous offering of this slimy substance which contains
an amazing amount of DNA as well as viruses and even hormonal chemicals.
This can help researchers in studying whales' behaviour, habits and their natural wellbeing.
Yeah, it's a gooey job and yeah, it sounds a little bit crazy – but it's actually
a very vital role.
Since the 18th century, sea-snot has been known to exist in the Pacific Ocean.
Seemingly worse in the summer, over time the mucus particles float around the ocean, conjoining
with other blobs and causing not only closures of beaches and danger to swimmers, but they
can also pose danger to small sea creatures, such as blocking fish's gills and causing
them to drown.
Actually, now that I think about it, this job is almost verging on the cool scale!
You get to swim in the water all day, and you save lives.
Tell this story to the ladies at the bars and I bet you're getting at least a number!
3.
Barnyard M*s*urbator This may sound slightly laughable but it's
actually quite a serious and important job for the farmer's right hand man.
The sperm of many male farmyard animals, in particular boars and bulls, can be collected
and gathered for research or can be distributed for aid in breeding.
The masturbator has three techniques for gathering the goods so to speak.
There's the rather sinister looking electric stimulation rod which is inserted into the
bull's bottom stimulating him into... well, you get the idea.
Then there's the artificial vag**a on the animal's p*nis, where the male animal is
given what can only be described as a 'fake female', which it mounts accordingly while
the work is carried out.
Or there's just a good friendly, let's call it a <ahem> 'handshake'.
Apparently neither of the three make a lot of difference to the masturbator; each can
put the brave employee in a very dangerous situation, as he or she can be brutally kicked,
bitten or attacked by the animal.
Yeah, count ME out on this one!
2 - Indian Sewage Diver This perilous job possibly tops almost all
mentioned in this list.
Really, this should #1b.
Sewage diving is a well-known job in all corners of the globe; if there's a blockage or a
broken drain, someone's got to get down there and sort it out, just like that diver
in Australia.
The difference being though, most sewage divers are provided with some protective clothing
such as oxygen tanks, air-tight dry suits and equipment on hand should something go
wrong.
Not so for the Indian sewage diver, it's a simple strip down to your swimming trunks,
climb in and get to work.
There is no other option.
Even in some of the most prestigious regions of India, such as Punjab, workers have to
carry out this practice in the same fashion.
Often, the workers are exposed to the horrible, deadly gases given off by the sewage.
Being exposed to this in such a confined space, as you can imagine, can have devastating consequences,
yet this job still continues in India.
1 - Crime-Scene Cleaner
At #1 we have a job where a stomach of steel is required.
After a gruesome murder or a suicide, the scene is left as is, while forensics are there
to investigate and solve what has happened.
Then what happens?
Well, time to clean up the blood and guts, of course.
This job requires no particular skill and people from all different kinds of previous
jobs can carry out this task on a daily basis.
Although the cleaners are provided with protective clothing and gas masks, they're exposed
to the overbearing odors of rotting cor**es, drying blood, and any other bodily fluids
which are lying around.
Not to mention the psychological effects such a scene can have on someone is also a major
hazard.
Blood stained carpets, curtains and bedding are often removed, while tiled walls or hard
surfaces can happily be wiped clean.
All in a day's work….I'm sure there are people out there who have no problems
with this job.
Here's what's next!
