This is something I would find on a humor website. And it's not very good. Most of the jobs listed is only held by a few people and not what I call real jobs. There is a show on The Discovery Channel that is titled "Dirty Jobs". One job that Racz mentions was featured on it. Chicken sexer. And what the job is about is quickly finding out what sex the baby chicks are. But he mentions silly stuff mostly like Saddam Hussein Double and Exorcist. A few real ones like Data Entry and Shopping Cart Valet.
I got this book from the library by placing it on hold. If I saw the inside of this book I wouldn't have bothered with it.

This is the perfect book for when you are feeling like your job is crap. Would you believe that there are 50 jobs that are guaranteed worse than the one you have right now? I didn't think it was possible, but there sure are! So now when I'm sitting at my desk thinking this has got to be the crappiest of all jobs, I can think to myself "at least I'm not a maggot wrangler!"

Apparantly I've been belly aching about my job a lot lately. So much so that my boyfriend picked up this little gem for me. After only a few pages of "50 Jobs Worse Than Yours", I realized how good I have it. Hey, at least I'm just chained to a desk and not out there catching rats or wrangling maggots!
"50 Jobs Worse Than Yours" is a great collection of horrible and disgusting jobs that need to be done. It's also an incredibly funny book - all of the job descriptions are written in a way that will have you laughing out loud. There are alos lots of pictures to prove that, yes, people really do do these things!
Next time I hear someone complain about their job, I'm loaning them my copy of this book!
