Six Horrible Jobs in Canada and What They Pay

Although my article does not list all the worst jobs in the world or the worst jobs a person could possibly get, it does explain 6 of the worst which you can get here in Canada or any other part of the world. Out of these 6 jobs between me and 3 of my friends, we have a little experience in each field.

1. Crime Scene Cleaner

This job is not for the weak hearted. It has to be one of the more disgusting jobs no matter where you go in the world. What the job entitles you to do is to attend crime scenes after police and forensics have went over everything. Only then are you ready to get to work cleaning up the crime scene. First the clean team enters the property or crime scene and start by removing body parts. Sometimes the body parts which include nose, ears and teeth can be spread all around the scene.

Usually after the body parts are removed then the team removes anything that has been contaminated by blood or other bodily fluids like floor tiles, rugs, baseboards and so on. After that then the scene is scrubbed down and sprayed with a disinfectant and air freshener to kill any unpleasant odours from the clean up or left from the crime. Not a job for me or something my stomach could handle but average pay for this line of works starts at around $50,500 depending where you live, operate and how much experience you have. Not bad but again I couldn’t do it!

2. Sewer Inspector

Welcome to the world of sewer inspection. This is one of the most disgusting, dangerous and just down right sick jobs that has to be done. What this jobs duties are, is to crawl down into small claustrophobic conditions and crawl through tunnels and tiny spaces. It’s dark, wet, and filled with rats and roaches and full of human waste which you crawl, walk or whatever to get through it.

Once down there the sewer inspector checks for breaks and cracks in the lining of the sewer wall. Not the most glorious of jobs but never the less it has to be done. The starting wage for a sewer inspector depends on your experience, location and the sewer system but usually the pay starts around $34,000 yearly. Just last year a sewer inspector in Hampton, N.H. made $61,058. Alright pay but again not a job I would enjoy or even could possibly do.
