You think your job is bad? Well, after going through these pictures, we're pretty sure you'll be thankful for what you do to make money.

Target Stabilizer

Just be really still, and hope you're working for some good shooters.

Snake Milker

Scientists are really interested in snake venom to help cure certain diseases, which means they need qualified handlers to get the venom. Almost every snake milker has been bitten by a venomous snake at least once.

Hay Chewer

Bud Williams' farm may be the only one offering this position, which might be perfect for you if you're okay with the taste of hay. Most of us aren't, though.

Elephant Poop Collector

Any kind of poop collector is a pretty sh**ty job, but elephants are the worst of all.

Road Kill Collector

We've all recoiled after catching a glimpse of some gross roadkill as we drove along. Imagine having to pick those squished animal carcasses up all day!

Bridge Painter

If you're scared of heights, this job would be your worst nightmare!

Porta Potty Cleaner

Porta Potties are possible the most vile places in the world, and someone has to clean them.

Crocodile Feeder

You know all that croc really wants is to sink its teeth into is you.

Cat Food Taste Tester

That's right — cat food is actually taste tested by humans. And you have to have a sensitive enough palate to pick up on all those fishy flavors.

Demolition Derby Photographer

At least the driver is trained to survive this dangerous sport. The photographer is supposed to be as close to the action as possible.

Deodorant Tester

Smelling armpits all day for a living? No thanks.

Subway Pusher

The Tokyo subway lines have gotten so busy, that they've hired people whose sole purpose is to shove people into the trains.

Roof Shovelers

As if shoveling snow wasn't bad enough, try doing it and not slipping off of a roof.

Stun Gun Tester

Stun guns have to be tested on humans to be sure they'll work properly.

Tiger Dentist

Thankfully, the big cats are sedated for their trips to the dentist. But still, these tooth doctors are just one motion of the jaw away from losing a hand!

This Walking Punching Bag

Theme park mascots are supposed to do anything they can to make sure children are having a good time. Apparently that includes being beat up by them.

Sex Toy Factory Worker

It's pretty much the same as any factory job, except when it comes to telling other people what you do.

This Electrician

Climbing up those high phone polls is already pretty dangerous and scary. This guy has so many more wires to deal with than the average worker.

Skyscraper Window Washers

Yup, even skyscrapers need to get their windows cleaned. Someone's gotta do it…
