text: what is the worst job that is out there to do?? can it be septic tank cleaner?? or port a john picker uper?? anything else out there anything that you don't like to do or feel undervalued doing can be the worst. many jobs have unpleasant conditions. there are nurses cleaning and diapering adults everyday, men and women cleaning cesspits, emptying porta-johns and garbage cans.  how about the well-dressed, highly paid advertising writer who would rather be a farmer? going in to work each day for the prestige and the money but hating himself for doing it? he'd rather be out shoveling the stuff that other people are picking up. promising himself that he'll do it when he retires but fearing that he won't live that long.  there are high prestige jobs and low prestige jobs, high pay and low pay, servile jobs and jobs that don't feel important. in the end it comes down to how each individual feels and what their values are.
