Do any jobs pay a lot of money just because they're unpleasant?

It seems like jobs that pay well do so because the job takes a lot of training and skill, and those are usually the most desirable jobs. And the nasty, unpleasant jobs are the ones with little skill involved, and they don't pay much. Are there any jobs that don't take much skill or training, but pay well just because the work is so awful?





(I'm happy with my job, I'm just curious.)

Garbage men are paid very well and have great benefits after about 3 years in the union they can make 60 -70 k a year.
Reply:generally the more unpleasant the job, the less the pay is
Reply:I had always heard that being a garbage man paid very well, but I could be wrong.

I'm glad you're happy with your job.
Reply:Well, there are some jobs overseas (like Iraq) that pay great wages due to the unpleasant situation...
Reply:Like I told my son, If you get a good education you dont have to worry with the "Awfull" jobs. In fact if you really think about it no one really if they had a choice wants to work. But if you get a job and do the best you can no matter what it is your doing it wont be as awful as you might imagine it to be. My paw in his early years was a grave digger. Now to me thats defiently a job I wouldnt want to have to do, but it fed my dad and the rest of his family
