There is a misconception in the world that probably the most difficult jobs are the worst jobs as well. Well, yes they are dirty-literally, but perhaps not the worst of the jobs that are out there. So if you feel like you’re job is too much to take or it’s kind of boring or too demanding, have a look at this list that we have combined; top 10 most difficult jobs and you will magically feel good about your job and all that you have to cope up with at the office.
10. Bomb Disposal Squad
Sure you get to pull off the macho look but the threat is very real and always there. One small mistake and ka-boom! People working in bomb disposal squad are required to be highly skilled and trained for the job, the pressure is enough to crack any sane man. There’s a pre-requisite; one year long training before you get to join the bomb disposal squad and professionals are expected to be able to take a high amount of pressure and not break a sweat.
9. Oil Rig Worker
This one will tear you apart mentally and physically if you are not too careful; the wages being calculated on an hourly basis and an intensive job. One usually starts at the lower most level and must work the way up the ladder
8. Firefighters
Another x-factor job that appears to be quite heroic but it requires a high level of mental, physical emotional strength. It also demands team work to pull off the daily tasks. This one again has a life threat just around the corner. One is required to act fast and the reaction time has to be minimal. Such stress and intensive work hours do take their toll eventually; in fact quite a few candidates usually drop out just after some years into the job.
7. Astronaut
Sure it’s a unique job and there isn’t any other job that could promise you as much as this one does, but there is a price to pay as well. Astronauts are required to spend a lot of time in simulation rooms to be prepared for the ‘actual’ thing. Then there is control room and classrooms to make sure they know what needs to be known. The time that they aren’t in the above mentioned places, they are working to improve themselves physically. At times, they are required to work for hundred hours a week, long hours much?
6. Riot Police
How many of you watched the comedy movie, ‘Police Academy’? Remember the scene where the riots broke out? Yes, that is when you need trained police, aka, Riot Police. They are trained at a number of police stations in order to make them capable of taking care of a mass riot. They are required to keep tabs on mob activities and are trained to use various gadgets and gear to disperse or control riots. The risk factor is high over here too.
5. Crab Fishermen
Talk about cold weather and a harsh job that perhaps has the highest death toll. What’s the worst job you can possibly find in Alaska? We’ll tell you, try fishing for crabs in the extreme conditions there and oh did we mention? The income is based on your per annum harvest! Good luck!
4. Construction Site Labor
Here’s another job that doesn’t really care if it is scorching hot or harsh cold, they just want the job done and the deadlines met. The construction site labor has to put up with a lot of harsh conditions and their income is on a per day basis.
3. High Rise Maintenance Worker
We’ve all seen the worker with his headphones plugged in, cleaning the windows of high rise buildings. Even if not in reality, we have seen them in various movies. The job, while follows safety procedures, is sure a high risk one. Just a little mistake and that’s it man, whoosh-bam!
2. Test Pilot
Flying a plane is as risky as it is, let alone to be the test pilot for a plane and to test the machine with intent of R&D. One need to be a perfect aviator and must know his job; otherwise it could really turn ugly!
1. Sewer Cleaner
Okay, this is about to get really ugly,disgusting, disturbing and what not! You think you’ve got a bad job? You aren’t down the sewers cleaning somebody else’s shit, are you? Then stop complaining! One needs to be less egoistic and must have a strong heart. Immune system of such people needs to be in excellent condition too.
