      oh my… I met a woman who had a job of smelling men’s armpits for research of deodorant products!

      My fave job was being a tester of Dorrito chips! ;)

    Actually golf ball retriever isn’t so bad, as long as you get the caged cart to drive around. If, however, you have to dive into the ponds to get the balls… well, let’s just say I hope you like scuba diving in muck. (I had a friend that did that for a couple of summers).

    fish gutter though? Yep, that’s a nasty one. Had another friend that worked in a salmon canning factory and I will forever try to forget the stories she has told. My husband has had to tour Farmer John’s sausage plant a few times. I won’t EVEN go into that one. Let’s just say that it should definitely be on that list.
