And you think YOUR job sucks?

According Popular Science (October, 2003) some of the "worst" jobs include

• counting fish (one by one, for hours) that swim by dams in the Pacific Northwest


• the only two government bureaucrats whose job is to convince Americans of

• researchers who reach into a cow's rumen to pull out and analyze the stomach contents


• mosquito catchers who endure up to 15 bites a minute on 3-hour shifts and hope to not get malaria


• researchers who extract sperm from animals for study or artificial insemination


• "flatus odor judges" working for gastroenterologist Michael Levitt, who feeds subjects pinto beans, then gathers gases in plastic collection tubes direct from the source, and then has judges sniff as many as 100 samples, rating them for strength
