Ideal for: Pseudo Scientists (with no
qualification!) Job specifications: You
look at stool and urine samples for any traces of bacteria, or in some
cases, worms. It gets progressively worse when you’re assigned to a third
world public hospital, where dysentery and tapeworms are par for the course,
and you may find yourself looking at a colony of wrigglers waving at you
from the other end of the microscope. Better skip that lunch.
Drawbacks: It’s bad enough that you have to handle human waste. But you
have to look at it from a microscopic level, up close, with your nose just
an inch away from someone’s crap. Plus, even if you’re in the medical
profession, you won’t get anywhere near as much pay as a doctor or even a
nurse.
Perks: The hours are better, and the odds that you’ll be woken up at 3 am
for a medical emergency are rather slim.
