the shittiest job in the world

[iMan323]

my take; being a coal miner

not only do you get the mandatory enphysema after a decade on the job, but you also get a free burial....3miles underground

not sure if it's the worst job but definitely a very risky one.

If you wanna talk worst jobs in the sense of likely to get killed lumberjacks I think have the highest death rate. The worst job I have ever done was cleaning out the garbage hold on our ship after a 6 month deployment while in the Navy, there was rotting trash in there and it smelled like a thousand decomposed corpses...

See, lumberjacks rely on technique to keep them safe. When you're in a mine you; risk being crushed, you risk being suffocated, you risk being burried...and when there's a million tons of earth over you, those metal support beams are like toothpicks! I'd much rather be lumberjack than a miner

btw, what did you do to get that detail maniclion?

That sounds like you'd rather be a lesbian than gay.

Logger or fisherman, can't remember which.

The job that burns the highest amount of cals was something like Forest Fire Fighters , where they require upwards of 5000 cals/day or more.

That's from memory, I could be wrong.

Elephant trainers are probably the most dangerous job. About 24% of elephant trainers are eventually killed by an elephant

 

[KelJu]

Crab fisherman in Alaska have the highest death rate of any job on earth. Second would be timberjacks.

 

[clemson357]

Proctologist

 

[Gazhole]

Suicide Bomber.

 

[min0 lee]

NYC School teacher...perhaps?

I wouldn't say a high death rate would make a job the worst. I think the worst job would be one which is the same day to day, has bad hours, not challenging, offers no opportunity for advancement and has low social status where everyone would constantly look down on you (or think they are above you) for having the job.

Then again, I suppose you could argue the opposite. Having an occupation that is the same day to day offering little social interaction (I would go crazy) AND you are very likely to die. That may be the worst job ever.
