10 Worst jobs in the world

Today per "AOL Market watch" I am going to list you the 10 WORST jobs in the world. Now mind you this is per AOL not per me, or you, or the person who picks up doggie poop. My job wasn't listed so I gave this article a YEAH RIGHT!! But it said "worst" not "stressful", anyway here is the list.

No. 1: Hosts and Hostesses
Concentration of bad jobs:87.0 percentUnless you're working for experience before going to a well-respected restaurant or hotel, the long-term prospects for this job are dismal.

No. 2: Counter Attendants
Concentration of bad jobs:87.0 percentCounter attendants at cafeterias, food concessions, and coffee shops should make millions for what they deal with daily -- but they don't, so avoid these jobs.

No. 3: Ushers, Lobby Attendants, and Ticket Takers
Concentration of bad jobs:85.4 percentThe odd hours, low pay, and impatient customers outweigh the meager perks of working in a theater.

No. 4: Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers
Concentration of bad jobs:82.2 percentIf long hours, low pay, and repetitive tasks are your idea of fun, then patternmaking is the job for you.

No. 5: Lifeguards
Concentration of bad jobs:81.6 percentBeing a lifeguard or other protective-service worker may be a great summer job, but think twice before making it your life's calling.

No. 6: Waiters and Waitresses
Concentration of bad jobs:80.4 percentLife can be tough when one's livelihood depends on the generosity of others. Among wait staff, almost 17 percent are 16- to 19-years-old, 33 percent are between 20 and 24, and 50 percent are between 25 and 64.

No. 7: Tour and Travel Guides
Concentration of bad jobs:79.4 percentDo you like the outdoors, beautiful scenery, and eager audiences? You had better, because that's the "benefits package" you get if you're a tour guide.

No. 8: Models, Demonstrators, & Product Promoters
Concentration of bad jobs:79.2 percentUnless you're a top model or work on "The Price Is Right," your chances of raking in the cash are nil.


No. 9: Dishwashers
Concentration of bad jobs:78.8 percentPruny fingers, scalding, low pay and no tips are just a few reasons that washing dishes isn't a fun job.

No. 10: Motion Picture Projectionists
Concentration of bad jobs:78.1 percentIt may be fun to see the newest movies for free, but not dozens of times in a row. The pay and benefits aren't so hot either.
