Hmm... I think he's spent a little too much time thinking that through. As it happens I haven't seen deadliest catch, but I have to assume I'd prefer risking my life crab fishing to some of the alternatives. I guess someone has to do it, right?
Alright, commenters... what would you say is the world's worst job (real or made-up)?

I have a feeling whatever is being cooked is more likely to be either thrown out or become leftovers.
I always figure the worst job would have to involve sewage or dead things (maybe even both?); it would be something that would make someone sick to their stomach and requiring a lot of getting used to.
Anyway, I’d go with Zoo Janitor. They have to cleanup after creatures who make truly horrific messes, like monkeys, elephants, tigers, and small children.
I had a friend once tell me the worst job he ever had, and I’ve never found anything to top it.
The story goes he was working either at a water treatment facility or some sort of horrible storage facility/city job. He had to analyze what products were being flushed through the sewage system on a fairly regular basis. So on several occasions, he had to grab a canoe with a friend, climb into some modified waders or a rebreather/Hazmat suit, and row out in a canoe into the middle of a lake of sewage to do chemical testing.
The kicker, of course, was this was his summer internship. He didn’t get paid a dime for it.

Isn’t regular condom tester just as bad?

I suppose that depends on the person doing the tasting….

I do believe that is indeed a winnah!
