So you had a bad day at the office, or at the burger joint, or wherever you happen to work. You think, "My job has to be the suckiest one there is." We beg your pardon, because after reading about this, we would have to disagree with your opinion.

CNN decided to compile a list of the 10 dirtiest jobs in the scientific community, something you normally wouldn't expect from fellows in white lab coats. If you remember Steve Irwin, he was a zoologist, and even he had to do some dirty work with crocs and such, eventually succumbing to a stingray barb through the heart. Not every scientific job is cushy, and as our top three memorable picks from their article will show, "dirty" can either be a state of uncleanliness or the state you'll be in after they bury you.

Our number three pick is the carcass cleaner. Carcass cleaners are paid to clean corpses for display, and will probably mean interacting with all sorts of dead things. As CNN's article mentions, the cleaning process "may include immersing the body in boiling chemicals, placing maggots or beetles on the carcass, or picking off the leftover flesh (Emphasis ours)."

Number two of our choice picks is the manure inspector. These guys inspect different kinds of animal waste for contaminants. Why is this important? Simply because it helps to ensure that harmful materials do not spread and infect us or our food supply. Noble profession, but a really smelly one too.

While you may have expected the manure inspector to hit the top spot, we've reserved that for someone who really deserves recognition for sheer guts. Called hot-zone superintendents, they perform maintenance work for bio-safety labs that study incurable airborne pathogens. We're pretty sure they're more than simple janitors, since their work allows scientists to do their jobs and help people, but can you imagine walking through an almost literal "valley of the shadow of death" every day, except weekends and holidays?

For lack of a better way to share my thoughts on what they do, put this in your head: at least GameStop won't subject you to lethal airborne viruses every day. I hope.
