Because it’s Friday and you don’t want to work, I’m giving you a link to Nine Extremely Odd Jobs via Digg. I think it’s worth a look — and a 30 minute discussion with your colleagues in the break room.
Hey, can you get me a donut while you’re in there?
Just so you know, I think the worst job on the list is Podiatrist for the Indigent.
Podiatrists make good money

that is totes nasty and totes admirable.
My uncle is a podiatrist. I’ve never had more respect for his work that I do right now.
I worked at a zoo for four years (in finance/administration). Most of the time, I loved it, but let’s be honest: at a zoo, someone always has a worse job than you do.
@Cols it might be toesnasty and toes admirable.
@Florinda I had bunion surgery many years ago and I apologized profusely for my ugly feet. Seriously, those dawgs were malformed. The podiatrist told me that he received lots of satisfaction from his job because he gave people SERIOUS relief from pain. So that’s a good & healthy attitude.
I met a “foot nurse” once. She was like one of four in the STATE or something crazy like that. She travelled locally from adult foster homes to skilled nursing facilities, etc providing foot care to the elderly. What a woman!
I think of this like I do a dentist, who wakes up as a child and decides this is their calling (unless they have a foot fetish).
@HR Wench Oh boy, the two worst things in the world: feet & nursing. That is one strong woman, yo.
@Rachel I would also throw proctologists into this category.
