Ever have one of those days at work that are so painful, you almost swear you have the worst job in the world? I was almost there today. But then I thought about jobs that I could have that really would feel like the worst jobs ever to me, and I immediately began to feel better about the one I have. Please note that if you have any of these jobs, I mean no offense, of course. 
- Jail/Prison Guard (cavity searches and taming angry, confined criminals? no thanks)
- Circus Acrobat (the pressure! the danger!)
- Roofer (I have no balance)
- Gladiator or Cage Match Fighter (you mean I might DIE in the name of entertainment?!)
- Adult Film Star Fluffer (all work, none of the fun)
- Slave / Forced Laborer (sometimes I wonder whether or not I already have this job …)
- Obstetrician (screaming women in painful labors that start at 1 am? booo)
- Street Prostitute (I’m not even comfortable approaching a car just to give a stranger directions …)
- President of the USA (don’t even get me started)
- Fashion Model (seriously, what would I do with all of this booty?)
- Hotel Maid or Hospital Janitor. Zoo Cleaner. Portable Toilet Cleaner. Public Restroom Janitor. (ewww, the germs, the stench, the horror!)
- Star Wars Storm Trooper (you’re considered rather disposable by the Republic, and pretty much guaranteed to die fighting a Jedi)
- Criminal working for a Crime Boss (I never understood why anyone would bother to work for a devious criminal – even if you too are a criminal. Haven’t you seen The Godfather, Carlito’s Way, or the 6 o’clock news? Chances are high that YOUR BOSS MIGHT KILL YOU)
- Bonus: Helen Keller’s Teacher (I mean how do you – how can you – wow!)
I recommend you make your own list of dreadful jobs that you can refer to whenever you’re feeling pretty disgusted at your current one and need an uplift.
