Have you ever seen a job title so unbelievable that it made you say “I wouldn’t do that for a million dollars!” Well, people doing these kinds of jobs are unfortunately not getting anywhere near a million dollars to do what they do. But hey, somebody’s gotta do it…right?

Be glad I don’t have pictures for this post…here are 5 of the worst jobs in the world:

Gas Analyst Yes, for this job you really have to put your face near someone’s rear and analyze if the gas they pass indicates any intestinal problem. If it’s any consolation, you can at least brag about working in the medical field.

Barnyard Extractor Some people may find the job title funny some may find it downright nasty. But however you feel about it, it’s real. People who hold this job are responsible for collecting sperm samples of barnyard animals. It’s really tough because you have to always be wary of getting kicked and risk being severely injured from it. Not a fun job, but necessary in veterinary medicine or animal husbandry.

Bomb Expert You can be the hero of the day for disarming bombs. But the pressure and the potential life danger can make this job lose its appeal. How would you like to have a job where you’re always faced with a ticking time bomb that can blow you up to a gazillion pieces?

Mascots Some children react differently to mascots; they may be scared of them, they may laugh at them or sometimes feel a tendency to just take a swipe at them real quick (and run). These costumes are really heavy, hard to move in and some of the people inside can’t even see from it. It can be a fun job during parties, but not so fun when you are close to suffocation and fatigue within the first 30 minutes of wearing them.

Medical Waste Cooker Have you ever wondered how boiled guts, biological fluids (use your imagination, folks) and teeth smell like? Well, if you’re a tad curious about that, this job exists. These people are responsible for boiling the bags of medical waste and making sure that they’re no longer a biohazard before disposal.

These jobs are the worst conceived on average but some people may think different. If you’re claustrophobic then you might say that the worst job would be an elevator operator. But whatever it is, if your job isn’t on this list, then you should start loving your job more. Be thankful. Stop whining and complaining about the minor irritations you have to go through on a daily basis and just imagine what these guys have to do to get a paycheck. (Imagine what their resume must look like.) Consider yourselves lucky! (I know I do.)
