Worst job in the world: Bangladeshi sewer cleaner

Without any special suits or safety equipment, the sewer cleaners dive into pools of human waste; with their bare hands, they scoop out blockages from the sewers in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka, a city with more than 14 million residents. As disgusting is this job may seem to many, their efforts help prevent floods that usually plague Dhaka during typhoons and heavy rains. The job earns them less than $300 a month. The lack of sufficient equipment for such a hazardous job has caused an alarming number of deaths for sewer cleaners in the city. So whatever it is you don’t like about your job, at least be thankful that this is not your job.
