No. 8: Odor Judge
Some people get to smell coffee, wine, or expensive colognes as part of their job. But an odor judge has to deal with some of the most unpleasant smells around: cat litter, feet, armpits, and breath. They usually also have to rank these disgusting smells on a scale from 1 to 10.
No. 7: Noodler

What on Earth is a noodler, you may ask. A noodler is basically a sort of fisherman, who instead of using a pole, uses his own arm to catch catfish. But in order to draw in the fish, they cover their arms in guts, worms, and other wastes.
No. 6: Port-a-Potty Cleaner
When you’re out and about and nature calls, you better hope there’s a port-a-potty somewhere near you. In order to keep these much needed facilities clean and sanitized, a port-a-potty cleaner will often go through several dozens a day. The joy!
No. 5: Medical Waste Biohazard Cook
The term “cook” is often associated with working in a fancy establishment that serves meals. However, a medical waste cook’s job is a lot less glamorous. They’re in charge with gathering all kinds of medical wastes, such as semen, blood, feces, or teeth, putting them into bags, and incinerating them.
No. 4: Septic Tank Repairman
Unfortunately, septic tanks do malfunction from time to time and someone has to be there to repair them. Just imagine clearing all those gallons of human waste.
No. 3: Garbage Man
Also referred to as sanitation workers, garbage men have a pretty disgusting job on their hands. They don’t just have to gather the trash, they also have to sort it out. Leftovers, used tampons, dirty diapers, and so on.
No. 2: Crime Scene Cleaner

As horrific as a crime scene may be, just imagine having to clean it up. Although a highly paid position, having to deal with blood, human remains, and decomposing materials can’t be very pleasant.
No. 1: Hazmat Diver
Yes, you’ve read it correctly: Hazmat diver. Although covered from head to toe in a biohazard suit, divers have to go through pools of waste to retrieve items or make repairs. You can’t get more disgusting than that.
