Pain, Tedium, Danger, Disgust, Humiliation—It's all just part of the average workday for the (often proud, more often smelly) members of our third annual honor roll of the Worst Jobs in Science.


10. Collector of orangutan urine
Their work is noninvasive—for the apes, that is . . .

9. NASA ballerina, hired to dance with a robot for the press
Her dance partner is a supersensitive Robot

8. Do-gooder, out in the wild trying to save endangered species
Bugs, bears, and a melting earth—you call this a vacation?

7. Semen washer, lab tech at a sperm bank who prepares samples.
It's a job that separates the boys from the men

6. Vulcanologist
When the earth heats up, they head in

5. Nuclear weapons scientist
They've mastered fusion. Next up: Filing

4. Extremophile excavator
Never has success smelled less sweet

3. Kansas biology teacher
On the front lines of science's devolution

2. Manure inspector
The smell is just the start of the nastiness

1. Human lab rat
Warning: Pesticides are bad for you

Why do you say that? There's nothing more refreshing than an orangutan's urine all over your face. Think of it as nature's blessing!

LOL. Thats the best job in science. B) Nothing worst then sitting there while you get tested on, not know the effects of whats being tested.
