The Top 5 ‘Dirty Jobs’ According to Mike Rowe
Thirteen years ago today, Mike Rowe first introduced us to the smelliest, grossest and weirdest American occupations on his Discovery Channel series Dirty Jobs. In honor of thirteen lovely years of professional filth, here are the Top 5 Dirty Jobs according to Mike Rowe…
5) Sewer Inspector
As Mike Rowe told Bill O’Reilly, “It’s critical to make sure the infrastructure underneath the streets is solid, because if there’s an earthquake in San Francisco and the sewers go down, of course, the streets are going to run with poo, and nobody wants that.”
Here’s a perfect place to begin with a show called Dirty Jobs. Rowe waded through it for this gut-wrenching 2005 episode, and we all earned a new respect for anyone who’s had to go below ground to make a buck.
4) Snake Wrangler
In Rowe’s own words, “You catch the water snake, and you make it vomit. And then you look under a microscope at the puke to make sure it is of a healthy consistency.”
In this Season 3 episode, Rowe got repeatedly bitten by water snakes. And when he wasn’t getting bitten, he was making the snakes puke or studying said puke. Wait, remind me why we loved this show so much?
3) Chicken Sexer
Rowe joined a labor force that separates baby chicks into baskets of males or females to determine if they’ll be making your omelettes or your McNuggets. Ew. The less said about this one, the better.
2) Horse Inseminator
Again, Rowe lays this all out for O’Reilly.
BILL: What does that pay? What does a horse inseminator pay?
ROWE: That’s not bad. That’s not bad. Plus, the horse still calls you.
O’REILLY: OK. So what do you make, 60 grand doing that?
ROWE: I would say at least.
Is $60K enough for you to collect… From a stallion and well… You know what? $60K isn’t enough for me to even explain this.
1) Shark Suit Tester
One again Rowe puts it best, “You put on the suit; you hop in the water; you create a bloodbath of chum. The sharks come in, and you let them bite you. If you live, the suit works. If you don’t, it’s unfortunate.”
Well, yeah, that all makes sense… but why? I mean, no one HAS to get in the ocean, especially if they know there’s going to be sharks. So… why is this a thing?
