What’s the worst job in America
There is an opening for a Kill Supervisor. Here’s the description:

“The Judge Group Inc has partnered with a food company seeking a kill floor supervisor!!! A growing meat company located in the Southwest is currently searching for a first shift kill floor supervisor. The individual hired must have at least 3 yrs experience supervising kill or boning operations in the meat industry. The individual hired will be responsible for overseeing first shift kill operations…”

en there is a job for a industrial hygienist in Washington.
b ad says this. “We are located in an “area [that] boasts 300 days of annual sunshine, nearby mountain ranges, and unlimited sporting and recreational opportunities. We are in the ‘Heart of Washington’s Wine Country’ and surrounded by parks, golf courses and paths for biking and hiking.”

But there’s more. The mission of the company is to “retrieve hazardous waste from the tanks, upgrade tank farm infrastructure in preparation for feeding waste to the Waste Treatment Plant, and to develop and implement a supplemental technology to treat the majority percentage of low-activity waste from the tanks.”

4) Itching for a new career? The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station is looking for “research field assistants” to help out on “a statewide Mosquito Surveillance Program for West Nile Virus. Duties include field-monitoring and collection of adult mosquitoes from wetland swamps and bogs, and laboratory sorting of mosquitoes for virus testing.” Nothing like earning a living by getting mercilessly bitten by possibly disease-carrying insects.
3) A job listing titled “Starving, Crazy, Young People with Video Enabled Phones Needed!” is pure OFF/beat gold. But this employment opportunity, based in Moscow, verges on criminal. Check out the description: “Do you like MTV’s Jack Ass? We are paying students to do a bunch of dares and record them with their phones.” And what do these starving, crazy, young people get for their efforts? A grand total of 20 to 40 righteous bucks!

2) Think you have what it takes to be a landfill spotter? If you’re the kind of person who enjoys hanging out in a dump in the sweltering heat, than this could be the job opportunity of your dreams. A Utah dump is seeking “1-2 people to work at the landfill in Layton as a spotter, seeing what people are bringing in to dump and directing them where to dump. May be helping pick up trash and general facility clean up.”

1) And the absolute worst job listing, unfortunately, is for a job that’s no longer available. In fact, it wasn’t even a job — it was a volunteer opportunity. In the 1990s, Dr. Michael Levitt, a gastroenterologist at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Minneapolis, recruited seven volunteers for his groundbreaking research on farts. Dr. Levitt “requested that they spend at least a week keeping flatugraphic logs of their own, recording how frequently they stirred intestinally and when these events occurred. While taking the time to note such events would not make for an especially social week, it would make for a scientifically enlightening one, providing Levitt with what was almost certainly science’s first flatulence control group.”

Think you got that beat? Show me what you got.
