the top 20 worst, crappiest, dirtiest and thankless jobs of all time.
will you hit one in future?
ranked20: RETAIL SALES
What sucks about this job are merchandise returns that cut into your paycheck, high-maintenance customers and slim discounts.
ranked19: DOG WALKER
Getting up close with other people's unpredictable animals, cleaning up dog poop. Oh, and cleaning up dog poop. Plus, otherwise cuddly doggies can get cranky when their owners are gone.
ranked18: FASHION MAG ASSISTANT
An assistant's work is never done -- and that work is typically tedious and stressful, down to the littlest half-caf skim latte you have to order for the big boss.
ranked17: ELECTRONICS SALES
When you're selling computers and electronics, your clients know much, much less than you. Keeping it simple, with patience, is tough.
ranked16: LIFEGUARDING
Guarding lives is less hanging with tan, scantily clad colleagues and more sitting. Alone. For hours.With toddlers, you never know when that pool's gonna need an emergency evac.
ranked15: ENVIRONMENT ORGANISATION CRUSADER
Going door-to-door to raise money for your local enviro org involves asking lots of strangers for money and long hot days on your feet for dubious gain.
ranked14: HAY STACKER
Stacking hay can cause injuries via splinters, machinery and even heat exhaustion.
ranked13: HAIR WASHER
Touching other people's dirty hair? Not so sexy.Being an assistant at a salon may sound glam, but the reality of washing hair for everyone from men like your dad to women with blue, smelly hair pretty much washes out that dream.
ranked12: NANNYS
Crying babies and whiny spoiled children who will NOT go to bed. Sorry, nanny-wannabes, this is a crappy job. You're lucky if that kid EVER goes to bed -- much less sits still long enough to hear a story.
ranked11: FILM P.A.
High-stress film shoots, working with big egos, and the production assistant (that's you) is the go-to for every last detail.Working on sets can be exciting, but it also means long hours (we mean LONG), low to no pay and years of dues-paying duties. We hope you like doing errands under pressure!
ranked10: GROCERY BAGGER
Bagging groceries means long hours on your feet for typically low hourly wages, plus possible paper cuts. Few kudos when you arrange peoples' bags really ingeniously.
ranked9: THEME PARK JOBS
Operating rides and serving theme park customers means you face hundreds of rambunctious kids each day. In the heat. Oh, and listen to that annoying ride music... nonstop.
ranked8: HELP DESK ATTENDANT
As a computer help desk attendant or IT worker, you field complaints, and more complaints... and then some more. But is anything worth the kind of irate customers you'll have to calm down every day?
ranked7: POOL CLEANER
Early mornings and late nights are when the pool cleaners work. Usually it involves chemical tests, skimming & hauling a special vacuum -- and avoiding electrocution in the process.You'll encounter a host of undesirable things in the water, from clumps of dead leaves to human hair.
ranked6: EQUIPMENT RENTAL
Jobs at snowboard and other outdoor shops suck because they mean lots of time with your face near people's feet, adjusting and readjusting the same gear dozens of times daily... and lots of smelly socks.
ranked5: PIG FARMER
You're up close with pigs, all day: feeding, cleaning, catching and re-cleaning, and maybe -- we hate to say it -- ushering them to their deaths.
ranked4: CONSESSIONS SELLER
You have to wear those hats that signal to everyone you see. You must handle lots of fried food. You might be hungry, too... but that's just too bad, since your wares are for selling, not eating.
ranked3: COTTON CANDY MAKER
Cotton candy makers made our 'worst' list because they toil in dignity-suppressing ponchos (i.e., a garbage bag with holes for head and arms) to protect them from flying specks of sugar.
ranked2: HOUSEKEEPER
You're the unseen hired help doing a job that's thankless. You usually get some tips, but they're rarely big. Oh, and don't forget about those little outfits you have to wear.
ranked1: BUTCHER'S ASSISTANT
Blood-stained cutting blocks, blood-stained hands, animal carcasses hanging around -- being a butcher's assistant is pretty rough no matter what.
wow.
this is what I learn when I have nothing to post and is randoming the net for fun things to post.
:D
