  • DivingforDiggs, on 05/08/2008, -3/+1240K doesn't seem enough for smoke jumping, even with overtime. There's not a job there I want!
    • craftyguy, on 05/08/2008, -0/+31There can be only one.
      http://www.mwctoys.com/images/oddjob001.jpg
    • RadiatedAnt, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1my thoughts exactly!
    • mooseontheloose, on 05/08/2008, -1/+2$40k for doing some real life Bear Grylls style shenanigans? Sign me up!
      • meandnips, on 05/08/2008, -1/+4I prefer Survivorman.
      • lunachique, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Did anyone find out whether or not Bear was actually roughing it, or staying in a hotel? I've heard rumors but nothing debunking them so far.
        • yournightmare, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1I've seen him a few times build a shelter, and while he's narrating (not talking to the camera) he'll say something like 'I'm not actually going to sleep in this shelter tonight, but if I did this is what it would like." Then they show the shelter, show him lying in it, etc. So I know that at least sometimes he's not sleeping in the shelters that he builds, but who knows where he's actually sleeping.
        • groo68, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Hotels, but he does do all the climbs and dangerous jumps that he did, and he still drank from elephant poo, and ate old zebra. a video showed a spot in Hawaii, where he was suppose to be lost, was really right next to a road.
      • Postalwrker27, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Hotels, man. Hotels. While he is one crazy SOB...kinda takes away from the awesomeness of staying out there by yourself and roughing it. Instead he's sitting in a hotel room sipping tea.
      • EvilFerret, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2The point of these survivor shows isn't to see if the hosts can do it, it's to show an average person how to survive if they are ever in a similar situation. It doesn't matter if it's Bear or Les, neither of them are in any real danger while taping the shows. Even on Survivorman, they have crews standing by and watching him from a distance...
        • lotsa1s, on 05/08/2008, -0/+0"The point of these survivor shows isn't to see if the hosts can do it, it's to show an average person how to survive if they are ever in a similar situation."
          Ahaha are you kidding me? Bear Grylls does so many incredibly stupid things one wouldn't do regardless of survival situation so many times PER episode it is not prudent to post them all here. For a complete list, see: http://www.daughtersoftiresias.org/bearwiki/Bad_Ad ...
    • Tomchei, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3$40,000 for 5 months work isn't that bad.
      Most smoke jumpers like disaster claims adjusters work seasonally.
      There are actually seasons for insurance claims adjusters that companies hire for said seasons, the Sleet and Ice season, the Hail season, the Tornado season, the Hurricane season. Then of course, the big disasters that pop up in between.
    • Ikulus, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Still more interesting than sitting in a cubicle all day.
  • misspiggymess, on 05/08/2008, -0/+39Port-a-potty pumper. I can barely walk by those things without gagging let alone be responsible for getting them clean. My salute to the person who has this job.
    • str3ama, on 05/08/2008, -3/+11What's with the sudden popularity of DivineCaroline articles?
    • wertach, on 05/08/2008, -0/+6Port-a-Potty Pumper is a piece of cake. The guys that work at sewer plants have it a lot worse. They have to get a lot closer to their work..............Like pulling tampons filled with untreated ***** out of a stopped up pipe.................
      • Ebulating, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1The pipe to our septic tank was clogged so we had the tank pumped and then a plumber just jumped right in and snaked the clog out. That was nasty.
    • Xibby, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2Port-a-Potty Pumper isn't all that bad. Pull up your truck, stick a hose in, pump out the stuff. Remove toilet paper. Hose the thing down from the clean water tank. Refill the tank with blue stuff, replace toilet paper, allow to air dry. I can think of worse jobs.
    • Ikulus, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4You'll find that human beings can accustom themselves to almost any task.

      A few weeks on the job and you'll be discussing fecal formations by the water cooler.
      • absurdist, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4There are fecal formations by the water cooler where you work too?
  • stignordas, on 05/08/2008, -0/+8"Podiatrist for the Indigent" nothankyouverymuch.
  • Pottypotsworth, on 05/08/2008, -0/+18Dugg for Drug Dealer being in at 8
    • Carlix, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1How is it being odd, at least here in Mexico it ain't odd..
  • HairyGrapeNuts, on 05/08/2008, -1/+3Dairy Cow Midwife sounds interesting...
    • Scrappy1850, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4how about the mentioned "bull masturbator?"
      • TheMidnight, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4I don't want to even google for that job. I doubt the career is what comes up first.
    • Pake, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1If you watch Dirty Jobs, last weeks episode centered around dairy cows and feature a segment on this very job.
  • mentallyinhell, on 05/08/2008, -0/+6Where do I sign up for guinea pig?
    • radarbeam, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2http://www.mdsps.com/
    • nienhulm, on 05/08/2008, -0/+5I had a professor a few semesters back who told us he paid for college by being a guinea pig in a bunch of clinical trials. He was mostly in phase I drug trials for allergy medicines. He never told us if any of the drugs he was in studies for made it to market, but he was a little bit off kilter. Whether it was from the drugs or not, I couldn't say.
  • dimpi001, on 05/08/2008, -6/+0Very Exciting jobs!!!
  • jaobedoza, on 05/08/2008, -4/+4bull masturbator sounded great! LOL!
  • allaboutdatiki, on 05/08/2008, -0/+13just say no to cubicles.
  • thelastcivilian, on 05/08/2008, -0/+18No one should be happy to be in a cubicle. You're just another pixel.
    • typicalusername, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3Yeah, is that a sign that I hate my ***** job, if I would take most of those jobs over mine where I'm stuck in this damn cubicle? Especially drug dealer!
      • Jb611, on 05/08/2008, -0/+5Nobody is stopping you. What are you waiting for?
        • TheMidnight, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Yeah...let me just walk out of my office and drive over to the ghetto and start asking the people if they know where I can buy some drugs to sell...me and my Wikipedia/Internet/DARE knowledge of drugs and my intimate knowledge of street lingo.

          "What a bunch of nerds we are; we're looking up money laundering in a dictionary."
          "Give me the names of some crack dealers; I have good networking skills."
    • halobender, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2That's cultural, Americans don't value being part of the big team like some Asian cultures do.
  • sandersdamnit, on 05/08/2008, -0/+19what about jiz moppers at porno theaters? You know that's gotta be bad
    • thelastcivilian, on 05/08/2008, -0/+6Good money to be made though - just turn around and sell it to sperm banks.
    • RadiatedAnt, on 05/08/2008, -2/+1porno theaters still exist? and if so, the pervs wank off in there? gnasty! What ever happend to the world wide netz
      • hokie47, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3They go there to meet mostly other men. Despite what the glory hole porn tells you, 99% of the time it would a dude on the other side.
        • greenlight2001, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4How do you know all this?
          • hokie47, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1I live in Tampa, the cops bust these places like once a year.
    • Pellaeon, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1I knew a guy that did this for a while, got paid REALLY well for a 'janitor' but he said its as horrible as you would think it is. Not enough bleach in all the world. This was right before the internet got really big. There are sadly unneeded now.
  • Masna, on 05/08/2008, -2/+5Masturbating bulls is considered odd?

    *****..I need to get a new job...
    • goatworship, on 05/08/2008, -0/+7"Midwifes don’t just assist insemination, they actually do it. AN ENTIRE ARM is shoved inside a cow to drop off semen"

      Morons PAYING people to do things they could CHARGE for.
      • Scrappy1850, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3i had been paying 200 roses an hour
      • yournightmare, on 05/08/2008, -0/+11Who would have thought that a guy whose screen name is "goatworship" would be down with bestiality?
      • djpants428, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Um, look up bovine artificial insemination. They aren't sticking their arm up the hole you think they are.

  • bbqsalad, on 05/08/2008, -0/+10Nothing makes me happy to be in a cubicle... nothing.
    • MrSketch, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4Well, there's a port-a-potty out here that needs cleaned...
    • Xproject01, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2what if you received oral pleasure by your secretary daily from within your cubicle?
      • bbqsalad, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3if you have a cubicle, and a secretary, well something is wrong.
  • tkcom, on 05/08/2008, -1/+2Would anyone wanna be a bull fapper?
    • MrsButtersworth, on 05/08/2008, -1/+2I dont think thats a job that somebody would necessarily WANT to do, but rather a job thats available that pays the bills. Not everyone works for the pleasure of it.
    • Scrappy1850, on 05/08/2008, -0/+6a slutty cow?
      • ladyarcher85, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2I've seen plenty of those around lately...
  • galvo, on 05/08/2008, -0/+21Today on Dirty Jobs, I tackle a few crackheads and get into some dirty business with the local Triads.
  • usgovterrorists, on 05/08/2008, -26/+2They should have included terrorists, like the terrorist United States Government!

    United States Government are terrorists, war criminals, and horrific liars.

    Where's the evidence that kerosene fires melted steel?
    9-11 was an inside job! 9-11 official story was a lie! What happened to building 7?
    • typicalusername, on 05/08/2008, -0/+11Why the ***** are you hear chronie?
      • usgovterrorists, on 05/08/2008, -10/+1Don't you know it's rude to answer a question with a question?
        • Jb611, on 05/08/2008, -0/+8Did you know you're an ass?
          • usgovterrorists, on 05/08/2008, -8/+1Did you know the United States Government are terrorists?
            At this point, I assume you know you're rude, and avoided the questions that would prove I'm right!
        • TheMidnight, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4Ever heard of Socrates, you half-brain conspiracy theory neurotic commie wanker?
    • Scrappy1850, on 05/08/2008, -0/+5it fell down, stupid.
      • usgovterrorists, on 05/08/2008, -6/+1"Photos of the steel, evidence about how the buildings collapsed, the unexplainable collapse of WTC 7, evidence of thermite in the debris as well as several other red flags, are quite troubling indications of well planned and controlled demolition"
        "Why would all 110 stories drop straight down to the ground in about 10 seconds, pulverizing the contents into dust and ash - twice. Why would all 47 stories of WTC 7 fall straight down to the ground in about seven seconds the same day? It was not struck by any aircraft or engulfed in any fire. An independent investigation is justified for all three collapses including the surviving steel samples and the composition of the dust."
        "WTC 7 Building could not have collapsed as a result of internal fire and external debris. NO plane hit this building. This is the only case of a steel frame building collapsing through fire in the world. The fire on this building was small & localized therefore what is the cause?"
        "In my view, the chances of the three buildings collapsing symmetrically into their own footprint, at freefall speed, by any other means than by controlled demolition, are so remote that there is no other plausible explanation!"
      • usgovterrorists, on 05/08/2008, -4/+1If you answered my questions, perhaps you wouldn't have any!

        Where's the evidence that kerosene fires melted steel?
        How did the huge molten pools of metal get under the twin towers and building 7?
  • Asvetic, on 05/08/2008, -11/+8I'm tired of these stupid articles from divinecaroline. BURIED!
  • 4abtrlife, on 05/08/2008, -0/+0I think I like the last one best
  • badogg, on 05/08/2008, -0/+11I often complain about my cubicle job, then I go to the restroom and notice that the urinal sanitation cakes have been replaced and I realize that my job isn't so bad. Got to say, the worst on that list for me was the Port-a-Potty Pumper.
    • agentmedia, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1i would clean diarrhea sprayed all over bathroom walls before i sat in a cubicle 40+ hours a week
  • goatworship, on 05/08/2008, -7/+2"Midwifes don’t just assist insemination, they actually do it. AN ENTIRE ARM is shoved inside a cow to drop off semen. Of course, that semen had to come from somewhere, leading to another unsavory bovine job—the bull masturbator."

    You mean people GET paid for that? I'd do that for free!
  • sircomix, on 05/08/2008, -10/+5DivineCaroline.com must be a sponsor of Digg. I mean, the links are OK sometimes... but they aren't great or anything. And they are always on the front page.
    • D14BL0, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1Don't drop the c-word!

      /roll
    • Patori, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2Digg isn't about that.

      It's about people who have friends that vote up an article as soon as its released under certain people.

      It's really a popularity contest.
  • trappleton, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2Actually a bunch of these jobs make me *sad* that I'm in a cubicle.
  • Jade10145, on 05/08/2008, -1/+7Stuck in a cubicle..AR-15 coming in the mail very soon..I would like one of these jobs ASAP
  • D14BL0, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2I can only imagine the interview for the bull masturbator position.

    "Well, your resume looks great! You seem experienced and more than qualified! Do you have any references?"
  • greeniemeani, on 05/08/2008, -6/+2Divine Caroline,
    Good times never seem so good!
  • FL33C3, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Where's dog food tester?
  • dcmproductions, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3Ha... I was a #6 for almost 2 years... didn't think it was an odd job though... just a tough one.
  • millonzi, on 05/08/2008, -6/+4As much as we bitch about XKCD comics making it to the front page, how in the ***** did two divine caroline stories make it to the front page AT THE SAME TIME!? WTF people!?
  • zapthedragon, on 05/08/2008, -6/+3More divinecaroline.com spam!!! Twice in the same hour! How is this happening. anyone digging this down is a shill for divine caroline!
  • bryanricker, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1Isn't there a show on Discovery Channel dedicated entirely to this topic?
  • kyleforeman, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1"Breath Odor Evaluator"
  • 808ethan, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1—the bull masturbator
  • mlerner, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3"This is just the short list for odd jobs; the long list would obviously include prostitutes, mink farmers, porn stars, bounty hunters, and psychics. And while few kids grow up wanting to be condom manufacturers or crime scene cleaners, it’s nice to know there’s a job out there for everyone."

    What's wrong with being a prostitute? It doesn't suck that much.
    • studdenfadden, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2"What's wrong with being a prostitute? It doesn't suck that much."

      True, but it blows quite a bit.
    • justice7, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2Actually it does quite a lot of sucking.
  • FatO, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3Apparently, the model Caprice has her very own 'nipple erector' for her topless shoots...Apparently.
    • D14BL0, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Requesting evidence of this claim.
      • FatO, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1I heard it on the radio a while back, and it just stuck with me (I wonder why). That's the best proof I have.
    • goatworship, on 05/08/2008, -0/+0citation needed
    • etherreal, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Hello, I am Caprice's nipple erector. Nice to meet you all.
  • henro112358, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Last year at the end of Burningman a Port-a-Potty Pumper had a hose explode (Undies apparently) on him and knock his false teefs out. They got lost (Would you use them again? I guess I would since I'd still be using the same mouth...) and we took up a collection to help get him some new ones. ***** job, no pun intended.
    • D14BL0, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1I dunno, if my false teeth fell out while I was pumping a john, I'd leave them right where they are. I wouldn't touch them ever again, let alone put them back into my mouth.
  • PeckerSlap, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1regarding the antarctic swimmer "job", just because one person does it doesn't make it a job.
    • agentmedia, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1yeah, i didnt think this belonged on the list.
  • abgemma, on 05/08/2008, -0/+0Digg for putting Drug Dealer on the list...... But what about Arms Dealer...
  • robbymcdobby, on 05/08/2008, -2/+1Oddjob #10
    Man who knocks peoples' heads off by throwing shoes at them.
  • sydsampat, on 05/08/2008, -0/+0Talk about variety
  • fourtysomething, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1I have a whole new appreciation for my office job
  • Oddish, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Buried for unnecessarily splitting up the article into multiple pages.
  • michael43, on 05/09/2008, -1/+1Rough Neck is not the bottom of the oil fields, a Roust-about is where you start. Buried for not doing their homework.
  • ziago, on 05/15/2008, -0/+0These may be odd jobs, but trucking jobs is an odd one as well... you really get to see a lot of weird things out in this country.
