The Worst Jobs in Science: The Sequel
flyingtoaster writes "For the second year in a row, Popular Science published their annual countdown of the worst jobs in science. This year's list includes Anal-Wart Researcher, Iraqi Archaeologist and Landfill Monitor. And you think your job's bad?" We also linked to last year's list.
Those sound like bad jobs to me ;-)
It's either on the beat or off the beat, it's that easy.
I moderate therefore I rule!

Odd, "EA Researcher" was nowhere to be found. Oh that's right, they don't have any. They're just an assembly line now.
In Soviet America the banks rob you!
Computer scientist is a scientist, no?
A Multiplayer Strategy Game for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux
Ewww!
#4 is Tampon Squeezer
On the other hand, Tampon Tester would rate as one of the best jobs ever.
*sigh*
Sorry if I grossed someone out.
Vote for a Man, Vote for Bush!
Not a liberatarian flipflop hippie.
At the landfill I monitor we have these Valves that releases this totally putrid smelling Steam. Even with all the funk, people flock to our landfill more than anyone elses!

The bright side? "In 13 years I've only been pooped on twice, and that's not bad." :-|
I love my job.
Don't forget Iragi Weapons Inspector?
The jobs not done until you find at least one.
Food taster for Fear Factor...
What about President Bush's Science Advisor? If that job did drive you to drink nothing would.
Some of those were hard just to list.
sigs, as if you care.
... a USDA meat-packing plant inspector?
perl -e 'foreach(values %SIG){$_="IGNORE";}while(){}'
Dubbya's speechwriter?
Sleep, she is for the weak..
In all seriousness, the first posting of last year's list does have some great comments.
Your Sig was the worst part.
Help fight continental drift.
Even if you don't get bit, the staff dusts you *just to be sure*.
Talk about temp help....
Umm...
Sheesh! And I wonder how many such 'casualities' of war we ignore. Really sad.
Followed by the sig:

Picture the puke scene from Team America: World Police and you've got a good idea of HALF of what I just went through.
You, sir, should be kicked off slashdot, post-haste.

Pistol caliber is like religion: everyone has their favourite, and theirs is the only right choice.
What about SCO programers?
Analogies don't equal equalities, they are merely somewhat analogous.
I spent one summer screening race horses for drugs... by chemically testing their urine.
Yes, I had the joy of sitting in a lab and handling horse piss for eight hours a day. Let me tell you, the range of colour, texture, and viscosity of the stuff is truly mind-boggling.
The one saving grace? I wasn't the guy that had to collect it from the source.
I can only imagine the shock his dentist had when she asked him to "Open Wide".

What about a science advisor to the Bush Administrator? That's got to be the worst job in science unless you also hold a degree in fair-weather theology.
Let's hear it for tolerance!
What is not clear from the above is just how much Saddam's Disneyfied Babylon looks like Live Action Doom.
No, I'm serious.
The Doom graphics engine needs an upgrade to properly render the historic site.
Also, Kuwait looks like a fucking Counter-Strike level with all those crates.
