The Worst Jobs in Science

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the grass-not-always-greener dept.

unassimilatible writes "Popular Science is running a story on the most noxious jobs in science, including, fart-sniffer, barnyard masturbator, and prison-rape researcher, and my personal favorite, the pre-med student who ate, drank, and breathed the blood, urine and vomit of yellow-fever victims. So before you complain about your tech job, check out the list. Things could always be worse."

  3. You would think... by Ibanez · · Score: 0, Redundant

    that an article like this would have stuck out as something that would be hard to forget. Fart sniffing, etc...

    It was reported today that Cowboy Neal finally started reading Slashdot himself. This is in an effort to cut down on duplicate articles. Film at 11. And again at 11:30 and midnight.
