Especially after reading this article on Popular Science (hat tip to Slashdot). For the second year in a row, Popular Science has compiled a list of some of the worst jobs in science. Think your job is bad? Try being an Anal Wart Researcher:

"I see about 15 butts a day, and a third of them have warts," says nurse practitioner Naomi Jay of the University of California at San Francisco.
...
The bright side? "In 13 years I've only been pooped on twice, and that's not bad."

Or how about a Tampon Squeezer:

Normally, researchers would use a centrifuge to extract fluids to be tested. But this is the one way in which the tampon is not an optimal specimen-collecting tool, because its true purpose is to hold liquid in. "Optimal recovery," Garland says, "requires manual squeezing." Wearing gloves, of course.

As it turns out, number 11 is a job which I had in college... a Computer Help Desk Tech:

Don’t hate them because they’re inscrutable. These are people who love the subtle power and intricacies of computers, yet who must spend their days incarcerated in windowless rooms telephonically holding the hands of 16-bit blockheads.

Things never looked so good on a Monday morning.
