For all you new grads out there, you might want to face the reality that not everyone is going to succeed in an admirable career filled with respect and dignity. Alas, some of you are going to end being profiled in magazine articles with titles like “The Top 10 Worst Jobs in Science,” as seen in Popular Science Magazine. Yes, you too can become a Whale-Feces Researcher (a shitty job, literally), Forensic Entomologist (solving murders by studying the maggots which infest dead people), Olympic Drug Tester (watching grown men pee for a living), or an Elephant Vasectomist (no, really...). But the number one worst career choice is the Hazmat Diver, a truly foul job which entails swimming through the most toxic filth on the planet including sewer systems, nuclear reactors and oil spills... and then cleaning it up.
