It's the job-hunting season again, since most of us are graduating. Here's 10 worst jobs in science, but why not, it pays well

10 most ickiest job in the world

10. Orangutan-Pee Collector : Their work is noninvasive —for the apes, that is . . .

8. Do-Gooder : Bugs, bears, and a melting earth, you call this a vacation?
7. Semen Washer : It's a job that separates the boys from the men
6. Volcanologist : When the earth heats up, they head in
5.Nuclear-Weapons Scientist : They've mastered fusion. Next up: Filing
4. Extremophile Excavator : Never has success smelled less sweet
3. Kansas Biology Teacher : On the front lines of science's devolution

Further details can be found at Popular Science
Most of the jobs sound fine to me. At least not boring.

"Most right-brained people like you are flexible in many realms of their lives. Whether picking up on the nuances of musical concerto, appreciating the subtle details in a work of art, or seeing the world from a different perspective, right-brained people are creative, imaginative, and attuned to their surroundings.

People probably see your thinking process as boundless, and that might translate to your physical surroundings as well.
Some people think of you as messier than others. It's not that you're disorganised, it's just that you might use different systems to organise (by theme, by subject, by colour). Straight alphabetisation and rigidly ordered folders are not typical of right-brained behaviour."

I took several of this kinda tests before, from school counselors to internet, and the results are always the same.. Can engineers be right-brained-ed.. ? hmm..


p/s : The mothers of two of my friends had just passed away, due to cancer. Al Fatihah..
