Among the 15 "worst" actual jobs in science, from the October issue of Popular Science Magazine:
15 Counting fish (one by one, for hours) that swim by dams in the Pacific Northwest.
11 The only two government bureaucrats whose job is to convince Americans of the merits of the metric system;
7 Researchers who reach into a cow''s rumen to pull out and analyze the stomach contents
4 Mosquito catchers who endure up to 15 bites a minute on three-hour shifts and hope not to get malaria
3 Researchers who extract sperm from animals for study or artificial insemination (and extracting from a pig is much preferable to extracting from a bull)
1 "Flatus odor judges" working for gastroenterologist Michael Levitt, who feeds subjects pinto beans, gathers gases in plastic collection tubes direct from the source, and then has judges sniff as many as 100 samples and rate them for strength.
