I run a fish lab. Luckily it is setup right so everything just can get drained onto the floor and down drains, but it definitely can be dirty. Also worked for a mailorder plant company. Ever shoveled a semi full of mulch by yourself? Into cooler that are 5' tall being a person that is a little bit taller than six? Dirty, and not fun.

My first full-time job was moving irrigation pipe. The mud was a constant, but the worst part was moving pipe in tall corn - the pollen coats you head-to-toe in yellow itchiness.

I later became a plumber. The company I worked for did all installation (mostly residential homes and apartments) so I don't have too many nasty stories. Still, the copper and flux stains your hands green and there was a lot of digging under foundations. We would occasionally have to do repairs/remodels on jobs where people were using the plumbing, there is no limit to how disgusting that can get...

One summer I worked at an exotic pet store. You don't know the meaning of the word "nasty" until you've cleaned out a few reptile cages.

Now I'm a 4th/5th grade teacher at a rural school. We dissected a coyote for science class a few weeks ago.

It's actually hard to think of a clean job I've had...

I worked as a vet tech for several years. I did a lot of kennel work for them as well, cleaning up after dogs and cats, especially sick ones, is a disgusting job.

Some of the things you see working on sick/injured animals is pretty bad. Abscesses might have been the worst... i threw up a couple of times...

I deal with copper on a daily basis(it's the key ingredient to bronze). It will stain you--lol... I've been around the powdered metal so long my feet turn a shade of green. I guess it builds up and you sweat it out.

I also can't remember a job where I've come home clean. I could work in a controlled "clean room" and get dirty some how !!!

I've helped out at a kennel before and had to help out with sick/injured animals. Abscesses and swollen glands are horrible!!!
