Jobs will earn you money to spend for yourself or your family. Some jobs are hard and others are easy. Here in the Philippines, the easier your job is, the higher your salary but the dirtier your job is the lower your salary is. Unlike to other countries like the USA, the one who's job is dirty gets the more payment, correct me if I am wrong though. Some jobs are clean or legal, and other jobs are dirty or illegal. Some example of clean jobs are officeworks, programming, painting, singing, acting and many more. Examples of dirty jobs (not the illegal) are farming, plumbing, constructions and more. Now for this top 10 post we are going to discuss some of the bizarre jobs from the history.TOP : 10
