People who have weak stomachs should probably not consider any of the following jobs. These jobs not only have a definite ick factor, most of them don't pay all that well either, unless you happen to be a proctologist.
Emergency medical technicians have one of the dirtiest jobs in the world. They respond to emergencies, provide care to patients and transport the patients to the hospital. Not only is this job dirty, but it is also physically demanding. The average salary for an emergency technician in America is $30,358.
Proctologists also have a job that is considered repulsive to many people. They are doctors who diagnose and treat disorders of the colon, anus and rectum. Even though this job is quite nasty, it does pay off in terms of salary. The average salary for a proctologist in America is around $230,000 per year.
Slaughterhouse workers are individuals who slaughter and disembowel slaughtered livestock. This job is dirty and low-paying. The average salary for a slaughterhouse worker is only $14,000 per year.
If you have ever wondered who picks up the roadkill that you pass on the side of the road, the answer is that this job is done by fairly low-paid employees. Working in adverse weather conditions picking up the remains of animals that have been killed by vehicles, the average roadkill collector brings home about $31,200 annually. But that's substantially more than another of the dirtiest jobs: Parenting.
Being a parent provides no salary or health benefits, yet exposure to germs among those who perform this work is higher than if they were working in a slaughterhouse. However, parenting comes with its own rewards and perks that no other filthy job can offer.
