1) Armpit sniffer
Getting a whiff of BO may sound like the pits, but it’s all in a day’s work for Peta Jones.
She works as a deodorant producer for Unilever in Australia, developing the Dove, Lynx and Impulse brands.
A big part of her job is sniffing strangers’ armpits to check her products’ work.
Peta said: “It was strange at first, but in a week it was fine.”
2) Crime-scene cleaners
CSI may be a morbid hit with TV viewers, but there is nothing entertaining about cleaning up a crime scene after a death.
Married couple Mike Nestved and Carmen Velazquez, above, clear up after bodies in Orlando, Florida – the worst being one in a hot caravan. Carmen said: “There are some things you can’t just Febreze.”
3)Mosquito bite victim
Helge Zieler has a job that really sucks – letting himself get bitten by mosquitoes. Working in the Brazilian rainforest, he offered himself as bait so he could study the bugs’ behaviour.
But despite once suffering a debilitating bout of malaria, he says: “The beauty of the rainforest far outweighs the thousands of mosquito bites.”
4) Pet food taster
This is not just pet food – this is the ultimate in Marks & Spencer dog and cat cuisine.
Every dish in the store’s luxury range has been tested by Simon Allison, above.
He said: “I love my job – but draw the line at swallowing.”
Simon chews gum after sittings to stop, er, dog breath.
5) Sewer diver
We all think our job stinks from time to time, but it really does for Julio Cu Camara.
He swims through sewers in Mexico City to clear blockages and repair pipes by hand.
Julio, below, has notched up 1,400 dives in 30 years – each one lasting up to six hours in 7,500 miles of tunnels.
He has to wear a 6.4 stone helmet and suit to protect him from the human, chemical and animal waste – and its stench.
Julio has found horses, pigs, guns and “cigarette butts to car parts, furniture and fridges. You ask how it got there.”
But of one thing he is certain: “The worst thing of all to find is a human.”
6)Watching grass grow
“There she blows” may be the traditional cry for whale spotters but marine biologist Karina Acevedo-Whitehouse gives it a new meaning.
She flies a remote-controlled helicopter fitted with a culture dish through the billows of mucus whales eject from their blowhole, above, then analyses it for viruses and bacteria.
Karina, from the Zoological Society of London, says: “It can be quite dangerous.”

8)Animal Masturbator
There are many jobs which require the sperm of animals, researchers and farmers are just a couple who require such a product. The only way to obtain the sperm is of course to masturbate the animal and catch it in a pot. Whether its a pig, ram or bull its a job that not many people like doing.
When dealing with a bull there have been cases were people have been seriously injured during this procedure and even ended up in hospital.
