    I can only hope I can one day be even a quarter as awesome as Mike Rowe is every day.

    My dirtiest job so far has been helping a dude dig a trench in his yard and burying some pipe in the trench.

    pipe funeral?

    I've worked as a lumberjack and then in a sawmill for five years. Fuck you and your 'hard' jobs.

    Although, anything to do with sewage is pretty horrible, I agree.

    Only reason I got stuck doing it was because of my dad and the fact I smoked way too much pot in high school to have decent enough grades to actually go to college. After almost dying a few times or nearly losing some body parts, I said enough was enough, quit and went to a technical school.

    I grew up on a family farm that raised cattle, chickens, and pigs. And since we couldn't afford an illegal immigrant, I was pretty much the bottom of the totem pole when it came to shit jobs. Hooray.

    There's a show on Discovery Channel, I believe, that is a reality show about loggers in Oregon. It's really well done and basically shows you everything involved in being in the industry (at the shitty end of the spectrum).

    Also, it's a dying industry to even be in to start with.

    has been for many years now.

    my area used to be loaded with sawmills run locally with small operations constantly bringing stuff in.

    now there's just the big operations left like sierra-pacific, roseburg, green diamond, etc.

    We had a couple of pallets of 5-gallon jugs of mayonnaise tip over in our parking lot last year.

    It was 90 degrees out.

    I helped clean that shit up, and by the time we finished I was absolutely covered in mayonnaise.

    The plus side is that I got my own seat on the busride home.
