8 - Oil Riggers
Along with danger, oil riggers face very unclean working conditions. Many oil companies pay loads of money for people to discover and drill for oil. For how much oil is worth, it is sometimes called “black gold.”
7 - Portable Toilet Cleaner
What could be grosser than using a portable toilet? Cleaning one. Somebody has to do this disgusting job and boy do I feel sorry for them. By using a tank and vacuum wand, portable toilet cleaners suck up all of the waste left in a portable toilet.
6 - Crab Fisherman
Crab fisherman get down and dirty while fishing for crabs. This isn’t the simple kind of fishing where you can just cast out your fishing pole line and reel in one fish. Crab fisherman use large nets to catch hundreds of crabs at a time. Along with the nasty aroma, they experience deadly conditions every day as they battle some of the harshest weather out on the sea. In fact fishing is the most dangerous job in the U.S. with the most fatalities of any profession.
5 - Sewer Inspector
No not these guys who sort of look like they might be amatuer sewer inspectors, but who are actually just digging for geoduck clams in Washington. But these guys.
Being a sewer inspector is definitely one of the dirtiest jobs out there. From the nasty smells to the disgusting waste surrounding them, I don’t know how they do it. They maintain the clean water we drink and keep our streets clean.

4 - Embalmer
There’s just something about the word embalming that sends chills down my spine. Although I find it extremely creepy, there are actually embalmers worldwide that do the job that many wouldn’t dare do.
3 - Coal Miner
Coal mining is a job that is going to send you home caked in filth every single day. This is definitely one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs a person can do. In the United States, over 100,000 coal miners died in the twentieth century.
Coal miners spend many hours underground in long tunnels that don’t offer much light, oxygen or cleanliness. It’s estimated that there is 275 billion tons of coal remaining to be mined in the US which roughly translates to a 250 year supply. So it would seem their jobs are secure, although hopefully renewable energy becomes mainstream before all that coal gets mined.
2 - Plumber
When we think of a plumber, most of us think of the butt-crack-showing, uneducated guy. But plumbing usually requires a 4 to 5 year apprenticeship and then passing an exam to obtain a license.
1 - Crime Scene Cleaner
Finally to number one on our list! Most people often forget when watching a crime scene show or dreadfully coming across one in real life, that someone actually has to clean up that horrific mess. Think of all the grim components that can make up a crime scene. Blood and bodily fluids are just two of many.
It’s known as Crime scene clean up or Crime and Trauma Scene Decontamination aka CTS Decon. In the state of California, they are known as Trauma Scene Waste Management Practitioners. They do the job of a regular cleaning crew on steroids. In need of a HAZMAT suit, these cleaners wipe away some of the most gruesome scenes in history.
