What is the worst job you can think of having? Would you do something really disgusting for money?
I think the worst jobs are a Geriatric Nurses Aide (can you imagine changing adult poopy diapers) and also a Garbage Man
I recall at one time in my youth interviewing to be a GYN patient for students to practice on.
$12.50 an hour was nothing to sneeze at, but I didn’t get the job because I was too tickilish.
Probably having to masturbate animals to get sperm for artificial insemination. But, that’s just me - some people may actually like it.
Oh come on now. They don’t have jobs like that! (or do they?)
That is disgusting!
- $2 crack whore 2) Sludge pumper
Actually, they do - but modern techniques have pretty much eliminated the physical contact . . .

I recently read an article in either National Geographic or Smithsonian about the Untouchable caste in India. One guy’s job was to crawl into sewers filled with human waste and clean out clogged pipes with his bare hands. When he came out of the sewers, it was common for the people who lived in the area to refuse to let him use a hose to wash himself off.
That job gets my vote as “worst job in the world.”
Sorry to do this, but someone had to pipe in with “MINE”
my boss is a coke-addicted asshat with attention deficit/hyperactive disorder.
FOR REAL:(
assistant crack whore
Slaughterhouse janitor.
Scraping out the grease vats at McDonalds (or any fast food place)
Euthenization person for the ASPCA.
Jizmopper! The guy who has to clean the spooje off of the windows at the peep shows.
I remember seeing a thing on the Daily Show about Elephant Masturbators (people who masturbate elephants in order to gather specimens for artifitial insimination). Put on a buge gloved sleeve, and stick you’re arm up the elephant’s ass in order to massage it’s prostrate. Sounds like FUN to me!
Johnson & Johnson rectal thermometer tester.
Any job that you hate at the time. It’s all a matter of attitude.
Cleaning feces out of a drain is disgusting, but there’s a big difference between cleaning sewer blockages in a poor neighborhood in India and cleaning the bilge trap on your yacht.
The exception to this I found posted already is Maureen’s suggestion of ASPCA euthanizer. How can you kill a docile animal whose only crime is existence?
I would also think that forced bukkake receptacle would suck as a job.
…a throwaway straight line…
On a more serious note, I guess the worst job would be the guy who hangs prisoners on death row. I dont know how the death row system works in other countries, but from where I come from the person is hanged until death.Imagine the plight of the guy hanging him!
Yes being the person that gives the lethal injection or throws “Old Sparky’s switch” would be a very hard job. How could you live with yourself knowing you just took someone’s life?
See Green Mile or Monster’s Ball for the answer to that. You kind of disassociate yourself from the process, tell yourself that society has determined they deserve it, and make it as dignified a possible. (except that jerk in GM) Even at that, they aren’t happy movies.
My vote is for the untouchable sewer cleaner; that’s what popped into my head when I read the thread title. It was last month’s National Geographic.

I have had the job of
Well, OSPCA, but anyway, yes it is very tough (especially with kitten, they scream, the first injection stings). But on the other hand irresponsible people don’t fix their pets, so someone has to do it. In the summer time it wasn’t uncommon for me to have to put down 50 to 100 cats & kittens a day, and that was for a small town shelter.
But do you know what is even worse? After you kill them them you put them in a garbage bag and they go into a big freezer. Once a month a company with a freezer truck comes and picks them up to take to Quebec to be cremated. This company won’t empty the freezer themselves, we had to and hand the bags to them. There is nothing worse than trying to lift out a 100 pound bag, having it break open, and seeing the head of a dog you liked but you had to kill because his owner never bother training him and decided not to keep him.
If you combine my sister and myself I may have two nominations from personal experience.
My job was to make donuts in a supermarket. They were still made the old fashioned way in a vat of grease. I stunk constantly of grease and was covered in a lattice work of grease burns. Worse I had to work in the deep freezer after I was done so I walked around the store in a winter coat spattered with grease. Everyone looked at me like I was a wandering homeless person.
My sister worked for the Red Cross. Her job was to cut open exactly eight rabbits a day for over a year. They were developing and testing a Fibrin bandage that was designed to mimic human skin. The procedure involved aenethisitizing (sp?) the rabbits. Then they were cut open and the bandage was applied. Results were noted and they were euthanized. I don’t know how you could do that for so long and not feel like some kind of angel of death.
I had understood that several people were involved in an execution, and that it was rigged so that no one knew for sure which one of them actually did it (think firing squad, many guns, one bullet). But, on reflection, that doesn’t hold for the lethal injection doctor. Hmmm.
Philosophically, the worst job to have is the one you really, really hate but really, really need.
So it doesnt matter if you are a 2 dollar assistant crack whore or a CEO of a conglomerate. If you are forced to do something you really hate, its the worst job in the world. Vice-versa, there are probably some people who like being a crack whore.
So i would surmise that the list of jobs that would be considered the worst in the world is that particular job that needs to be done by someone and youre damn glad it aint you. BTW, being a crack whore is not a job, is it?
Like mentioned, someone has to jerk off the elephants, flush the clogged feces pipe, fluff the porno stars, check the sex of crocodileans, smell the armpits, test the experimental drugs, suck up to the asshole boss, or be the co-star with animals in a porno flick or worse, a snuff film.
