- (in Italian accent) Okay, you know this YouTube thing,
it gets a little bit weird sometimes.
You know this and that, it's a weird job,
but nothing compared to these upcoming ones.
Here are 10 truly bizarre jobs you would
not want to have.
Number 10 is cryogenic engineer.
Okay, freezing people is not exactly a common practice
but the few companies that do hire people
called cryogenic engineers.
But Matt, what's that?
Well, they're specialists that are required
to maintain the cryogenic body storing equipment
and develop improvements.
Since this is a fairly new procedure,
most engineers that work on the cryo preservation tanks,
that is you know those things that store
bodies and brains in neuro suspension,
sounds fancy, will make a decent living doing it.
Generally $109,000 a year.
They're a fairly rare breed of person,
but then again the job market isn't flooded
with openings for people that are interested
in spending their days with frozen corpses.
But the really weird part about this job is that
all of the work that's done is in hopes that medical
science will find a way to revive the frozen people
and cure them.
That's right, if they freeze you, there's not even a way
to unfreeze yourself yet.
But the truth is that day may never actually come.
Which could make the service expensive
and creepy for ultimately everybody.
Number nine is a poultry culler.
The chicken processing industry is massive
with over eight billion chickens being processed
every year in the United States alone.
Poultry cullers have one of the most morally
difficult jobs in that industry.
First they have to sort the male chicks
from the female chicks.
Since their genitalia is hidden,
determining gender requires examining the inside
of the animal's rectum.
Only female chickens are accepted for further development
and before they're fully raised,
the culler must examine them for any deformities
or injuries which would harm their growth.
So you might be wondering, what happens
to all the male chickens and the chicks
that aren't physically healthy?
Do they go to a spa?
Hint, they don't go to a spa.
No, instead they are quickly incinerated
by the poultry culler to save the company time
and money for caring for them.
Basically, poultry cullers commit mass genocide
of infant chickens on a weekly basis
so that we can all, well, eat the best chicken.
Oh that's lovely, I'm now vegan.
Number eight is a bat biologist.
Bat biology may sound interesting
but the job is dangerous.
Some people actually find bats to be cute
little creatures with undeservedly bad reputations
but bat biologist who crawl through creepy,
dank caves to study them know this reputation
isn't entirely undeserved.
Now, bats serve a useful purpose to us
by eating their weight in bugs each night
but their habitats can prove to be lethal as well.
Biologists face thousands or even millions of bats
in areas that contain massive amounts of bat poopoos.
The excrement is eaten by flesh-eating beetles
that turn it into ammonia which, of course,
if inhaled, can knock humans unconscious
and make them easy beetle food.
So in short, in case you're looking to apply for this,
darkness, millions of bats flying around,
lots of poopoo, and possible beetle death
is what lies in store for you
during an average field trip in bat biology.
Okay, moving on.
Number seven is a sharksuit tester.
Advances in marine safety equipment
have given divers the ability to visit sharks
in their natural habitat.
Stainless steel mesh sharksuits can defend divers
against shark bites and won't let them sink their teeth in
but in order to sell these sharksuits
without fear that their next of kin
will be calling customer support for a refund,
the makers must find workers willing to test them.
Now very few people now what it feels like
to enter shark-infested waters
with a bucket of fish blood, but the testers do
and they seem to have decent job security
as the suits seem to be, well, working, at least so far.
As a tester, there will always be the possibility
that a suit will fail the test
with a faulty attachment or compromised mesh.
If that's not scary enough, you could also be swarmed
by too many sharks for you to handle
or a shark too big to defend against.
If you do take this job, just make sure
you keep your will up to date
'cause you might need it.
Number six is police diver.
If you don't mind swimming in disgusting,
sometimes intensely murky waters,
for the chance to serve and protect,
then this job is for you.
Police divers are called in to the scene of accidents
and crimes to recover evidence and bodies
from the depths of lakes, putrid ponds,
and other bodies of water.
In case you didn't quite grasped that,
if you've ever seen what prolonged exposure
in water does to a body, you'll know
that being tasked with carrying one out
is something that nobody wants to do.
In fact, often times, the divers will be unable
to see through the cloudy water and will have
to scan the floor with their hands
hoping that they will eventually feel a clue.
Oh, that's genitalia.
Wait, yeah that's genitalia.
We got something.
In rare cases, divers are tasked
with recovering the diseased passengers
of plane crashes in the ocean
and investigating the wreckage.
Not exactly an uplifting profession.
Number five is a parapsychologist.
In case you've never heard of it,
parapsychology is the study of paranormal subjects
such as physics, reincarnation, and ghosts
not only is this job super creepy
because it involves dealing with hauntings
and people with strange abilities,
but also often it's difficult to just study in general.
Most cases can never be clearly proven,
in fact, they can only be thoroughly disproven
through scientific means.
Parapsychologists today might find themselves
studying cases of near death experiences
or mediums who claim to speak to the dead.
Within the scientific spectrum,
parapsychology is considered to be
a pseudoscience by the majority of researchers
and is now mostly funded by private donors,
meaning jobs are hard to come by.
But if you do manage to find a career in parapsychology,
prepare yourself for lots of strange occurrences
and unexpected twists because it will be your job
to seek them out.
Number four is arachnologist.
Nope, nope, I'm out.
Oh god.
Arachnologists use their careers to investigate
some of the most feared species of spiders
and scorpions and cope with the daily anxiety
of dealing with them.
An arachnologist's duties involve studying behavior,
biology, and environmental impact
and classifying certain species.
Oh lord, I'm getting heebie jeebies already.
They also rate a specie's usefulness
in controlling other insect populations.
Particularly, ones that destroy crops or forests.
But all of this study requires them
to be within close proximity of those eight-legged,
many-eyed bugs, interacting with bunches of them at a time.
Grabbing spiders to poke and prod them
with different tools is also a must
when collecting samples or observing behavior.
This line of study might only be rivaled
by myriapodology, the study of centipedes and millipedes
or the other creepiest insects.
Okay, moving on.
Number three is the Paris Catacombs tour guide.
Working as a tour guide in Paris
would be a wonderful job unless you're one
of the tour guides for the city's dark
and disturbing underground catacombs.
There, the air of romance is mixed with the odor
of musty old bones from six million people.
These guides tour around the creepiest place
in the City of Lights, threading newcomers
through damp halls and reciting the dreadful history
of the death and decay surrounding them.
Reckless adventurers have been known to get lost
in the complex maze of tunnels, some even dying
which is not a comforting thought for guides.
But if you have a passion for history
and you don't mind darkness, breathing in
dead people aromas, or rubbing elbows
with walls of stacked 18th century Parisian remains,
this career might be for you.
Number two is field epidemiologist.
In emergencies with epidemic level diseases,
hazmat-suited individuals are sent in
to quarantine the area
or execute a decontamination procedure.
Some of them are called field epidemiologist,
investigators of diseases or bacterial outbreaks.
You ever see the movie Outbreak?
Same thing. (monkey grunts)
they have to stay extremely diligent
in keeping themselves clean
and covered in their suit as they occupy diseased zones.
You don't wanna breathe in contaminated monkey feces.
Meeting with your colleagues while you're all
in full-body plastic suits is creepy enough
but having your workplace crowded
with deathly-ill people with grotesque symptoms
must be even worse.
Working to find patient zero and contain
the spread of germs is no easy task
especially when your top priority
is keeping yourself healthy and alive.
But the epidemiologist perform the thankless duty
in unsettling locations to ensure more people
don't catch whatever the next plague is.
And number one is forensic entomologist.
Forensic specialists are often called
into horrific scenes that stay with them
for their whole life.
On top of the morbid duty of scrutinizing
every gory detail, forensic entomologists
specifically study the bug life around scenes.
As you might imagine, the work is vomit-inducing
but they can decipher a fair amount of information
about the victim like examining any feasting maggots
to tell how long the body has been there.
They also find the difference between wounds
that were sustained before death
and wounds that were caused by insects post-death.
Believe it or not, sometimes the insects themselves
are actually the murderers.
Not only do entomologist poke all the gross bugs,
they also check to see if any blood pools
were disturbed by crawling insects.
This job is pretty much trigger central
for anyone with phobias about bodies, bugs, or blood.
No thanks.
