No one said that getting rich is a glamorous process. Some jobs are actually pretty gross, but hey, they make bank. You would never guess that people actually sign up for these gigs, but yes, they do. Here are 10 disgusting jobs that will make you bank:
HazMat Worker
Let’s face it- they don’t have the most dashing uniforms, plus they’re around toxic materials 24/7, but for their really hard work, they happen to make a lot of money, relatively speaking. These workers in funny-looking suits can make up to $50,000, more or less, and possibly another $10,000.
Gastroenterologist
These specialists in the medical field deal with all things related to the liver, bowel movements, stomach, and more. If you have diarrhea or need a colonoscopy, these are the doctors you’re going to see. They can make between $264,000-$340,000.
Locomotive Engineer
It sounds a bit ridiculous, but the reality is that this job involves crazy long hours, limited working space, and constantly have to deal with coal, oil, and nastiness. But, they’re very well compensated, raking in around $80,000 and up.
Port A Potty Cleaners
Their job description is as disgusting as it sounds, and most of us don’t even want to think about what they have to deal with at work. Regardless of how gross their job is, they earn anywhere between $25,000 and $50,000.
Sewer Inspectors
A job that involves rats, cockroaches, and waste that is either liquidy and/or slimy, isn’t the sound of the most luxurious job you could find, but still, they make a pretty good living, making around $60,000 annually.
Well, for starters, this job requires you to shower like three times a day, but I’m pretty sure that even if it wasn’t required, people would still be showering more than once after going anywhere near maggots.
Forensic Entomologist
So for those of you who are into bugs (and you’d be surprised, as there are quite a few that fancy the structure and biology of them), this job might be for you, however disgusting the position is. These guys can tell just how long a body has been dead…so you can imagine the smell.
Chicken Sexer
To a farmer, knowing the sex of his chickens as early as possible, is necessary in order to determine the proper track for nourishment. Unfortunately, the only way to do this is to literally squeeze the chick, allowing its anal vent to open, which shows the sexer if it has a small bump, indicating that it is male.
