At some point in our lives, most of us have probably seen a task so revolting that we've admitted, "You couldn't pay me to do that." But not everyone feels that way. If a job needs to be done, chances are you can find someone to do it especially if the price is right. Here are the top ten dirtiest jobs on the planet. 10) Garbage Collector-Most of us wash our hands of garbage as soon as we set it on the curb. If we can avoid the chore of taking the trash out, we toss our rubbish in the trash can and forget about it. Not so for the garbage collector.The average annual salary for this occupation is about $43,000. 9) Gastroenterologist- These doctors specialize in the process that most of us wish would remain mysterious ..the body's digestion. Most GIs make between $250,000 and $400,000 a year .. not too crappy! 8) Oil Rig Worker-It involves spending weeks at a time sleeping, eating and working 12-hour days or nights on a man-made drill rig in the middle of the ocean. Aside from the cramped conditions, heavy machinery and explosive materials make this a perilous job that requires hardhats and steel-toed boots. But if you can stand the strenuous work and the time away from home, you'll be sitting pretty. Even lowly workers can get a nice annual pay over $40,000. 7) Portable Toilet Cleaner- Using a tank and a vacuum wand, cleaners must suck up all the waste in a portable toilet. After picking up any stray toilet paper, they also wash down all surfaces that could possibly be soiled, including the walls. Nevertheless, some cleaners grin and bear it and take home $50,000 a year. 6) Crab Fisherman- If the fishermen can protect themselves from being swept overboard in a storm, they'll still have to worry about the dangers of fishing machinery and coils on crab boats, which can also fling them overboard. And even if they avoid drowning, cold temperatures can give way to fatal hypoth
ermia. For a few months of work out of the year, experienced workers can rake in about $60,000. 5) Sewer Inspector- As if wading through human excrement didn't sound bad enough, some workers are also sewage divers. As you probably guessed, they have to go all out to swim through sewage to clean out clogs. In addition to the excrement, smell, and creepy crawly bugs and rats, sewer workers sometimes come across dead bodies, both animal and human. Before you write off these employees as nuts for voluntarily diving into human waste, note that, with above a high school education, they can make over $60,000 a year. 4) Coal Miner- What's more, unstable mines can collapse and kill workers. Aside from these dangers, working directly with coal is literally dirty. Just from breathing, coal miners ingest coal dust and sometimes develop black lung, a condition that causes shortness of breath and emphysema. coal miners earn an average annual salary of around $64,000. 3) Embalmer- The details of embalming aren't pretty. It involves first washing the body with germicidal soap and massaging out stiffness. Then embalmers drain the blood and gases and inject disinfecting embalming fluid. Preparing the face involves securing the mouth shut with wires and the eyes shut with glue. Embalmers, morticians and mortuary workers earn about $41,000 on average, and the pay rises with experience. 2) Plumber- If these cramped and dirty conditions aren't bad enough, they deal with our revolting clogs and waste or dangerously hot pipes. Customers commonly call
with plumbing emergencies at all hours, making schedules unpredictable. On average, plumbers make about $47,000 annually. 1) The number one dirtiest job is... a Crime Scene Cleaner-In the aftermath of a bloody crime or the discovery of an illegal chemical lab, the police investigators rush in to save the day and bring the perpetrators to justice. But in the hurry to clean up crime in the city, police don't have time to clean up the walls. Be it blood and guts or hazardous chemicals, not a lot of people jump at the chance to be a crime scene cleaner. Depending on how bad the mess is, the cleanup could take a few hours to a few days. But you won't hear these crime scene cleaners complaining too much ... they charge by the hour. With a little experience under your belt and flexibility with your work hours, you can easily make about $75,000 a year with this job.
