Popular Science has published its annual list of the Ten Worst Jobs In Science. It's not surprising that many of the jobs on the list involve interaction with the detritus, debris, garbage and other disgusting deposits of nature, including Whale-Feces Researcher (#10), Olympic Drug Tester (#8), Coursework Carcass Preparer (#5), Garbologist (#4), and HazMat Diver (#1). Oh, and Microsoft Security Analyst (#6).

I think the fact that the PopSci editors consider swimming in sewage only slightly more odious than working with Windows is, well, hilarious. Others may take a somewhat different view. ;-)

As a student in the physical anthropolgy lab in college, I used to do something similar to Job #5 ..... rendering cadavers for studies. Nopt much compensation, other than some credit, and the chance to be forever able to say "I've done something you ain't!"
