Someone is sitting in the office and looking longingly out the window, dreaming of an early end to the working day. Someone is working in a difficult and harmful production, and someone today has to be on duty at the hospital. But it is not for nothing that it is said that everything is known in comparison. Now we will tell you about most unpleasant professions, and you will understand that you have the best job in the world compared to them!
10. Wastewater
Whether we like it or not, we have to empty our intestines regularly. And this means that someone also regularly has to pump out from stationary storage facilities and dispose of “night gold” (this was the name for sewage). Smelling work in the truest sense of the word.
9. Urine collector
If you've ever watched Jurassic Park III, you probably cringed slightly as you watched young Eric collect T-Rex's urine. Lightly, because deep down you knew that it was just a film and, therefore, its events are completely fictional.
Nevertheless, urine collector is a real, albeit very unpleasant profession, and there are many of its specializations. For example, orangutan urine collectors place large plastic sheets or attach plastic bags to trees in the hope of collecting adequate monkey urine samples to study factors that influence their reproduction. On the other hand, people collecting deer urine are instructed to sell Bambi urine to hunters who then use this aroma to attract other deer.
8. Technique of artificial insemination of farm animals
If you love animals, you can become, for example, a veterinarian, a zoo worker, or even a sea animal trainer. The last work that comes to mind is work that requires all sorts of “love” with farm animals. Simply put, you will spend your day collecting semen from bulls or artificially inseminating cows, sheep, goats, etc. But someone has to artificially fertilize even elephants!
Not the most pleasant job in the world, but very necessary for livestock.
7. Vomiting cleaner
Roller coasters are among the most terrible rides in the world. They are not only breathtaking, but also cause tremors in the stomach. And stories of people who feel sick after (and sometimes during) a roller coaster ride are not uncommon.
A reasonable question arises: who removes all this vomiting? The answer is people who are engaged in perhaps the most vile work in the world. And they don’t have to cool down during working hours. In 2008 alone, at Thorpe Park, an English amusement park, a vomit cleaner collected approximately 150 liters of visitors' erupted stomach contents.
6. Medical waste disposal worker
Have you ever wondered what happens to medical waste, including used dressings, needles, expired drugs, amputated limbs, and human tissues and organs? In accordance with the laws of most European countries, they must be disposed of properly (e.g. by burning) to prevent damage to the environment and human health.
In Russia, biomaterials are stored at special sites or burned in a special furnace - micro crematorium. The smell of biowaste disposal is described as a combination of burning rubber, body odor, and smelly feet.
5. Forensic entomologist
There are many options available to those who wish to work with dead people (perhaps because they cannot complain about the quality of work). The obvious choices are coroners and funeral home employees. However, one option that you might not even have thought of is a forensic entomologist, a job that requires a strong stomach and, we dare say, love for insects.
Forensic entomologists are scientists who study the life cycles of insects and arthropods found on corpses during investigations. This helps determine how long a person has died.
4. Crime scene cleaner
We often see detectives and FBI agents on television shows such as C.S.I. Crime Scene ”and“ Think Like a Criminal, ”visit blood-drenched crime scenes to solve the murders. But what we rarely see is what happens to crime scenes afterwards.
It is unlikely that most viewers wonder who cleans up the crime scene. If you have this question, then the answer is the crime scene cleaners. Their horrific and sickening work entails the elimination of blood, body fluids, and other potentially infectious materials, usually in places where violent crimes have been committed. These specialists are also involved in cleaning up after accidents, suicides, and deaths of single people, whose passing away to others will be known to others by the disgusting smell of decomposition from the apartment.
3. Deodorant Tester
Who, in your opinion, determines how effective a particular deodorant is in combating the smell of sweat? Only a human nose can do this hard and, not afraid of the word, stinky work. Deodorant testers have to sniff the armpits of volunteers - this is an important part of the quality control procedure for deodorant. And so day after day.
2. Cleaners of dead animals
The technological progress of mankind is expensive for our smaller brothers. It is unlikely that anyone would calculate how many animals are hit daily by cars or other vehicles.
However, their corpses do not remain lying on the road, they are quickly picked up. In Russia, this is done either by organizations specializing in the removal of corpses of dead animals, or by employees of the contractor service responsible for the maintenance of a specific section of the road. And in other countries there is such a profession as a road cleaner from dead animals.
In some U.S. states (such as Pennsylvania, Idaho, and Montana), people are allowed to eat meat from slaughtered animals such as deer and moose. There are even cookbooks with recipes on how to cook the meat of animals found on the road or its curb.
1. Sewer cleaners
This is not only one of the most nasty, dirty and unpleasant work in the world, but also one of the most dangerous. Over 100 sewer workers die every year in India from accidents, suffocation, or exposure to toxic gases. Unions claim that this is because workers are not given any safety equipment to carry out their work.
Sewer cleaners must climb up the chest into a sewer filled with human excrement (and sometimes even dead dogs and rats) and use metal scrapers, brooms and even bare hands to clean the drainage and sanitary lines. And all for a miserable £ 3.50 (259 rubles) per day!
