World's Most Disgusting Jobs?



 Well, if you imagined that you have the craziest job in the world, sample this; Mark Gooley spends his days chewing dog treats, Paul McCorkell watches paint dry and Peta Jones gets paid to sniff armpits.
Mark Gooley, from Geelong, tastes doggy dental sticks, chewy bones and liver mixture as the owner of dog and horse food company Huds and Toke.

“If you wouldn’t put it in your mouth don’t you dare expect your dog to eat it,’’ the canine food critic said.
“I’m looking for palatability. I want it to be soft in the mouth and I want it to be an enjoyable experience for the dog.

“The dog might not be able to tell me ‘that tastes terrible’ so, I have to taste it and if it doesn’t pass the taste test, then it’s not going off the factory floor to the animals.’’

Asked what his wife thinks when he kisses her after work, the 50-year-old said, “there is always a bottle of Listerine somewhere.’’

“I am a mad scientist and I love dogs, people just don’t get it or understand,’’ he said.
That aside, consumer goods company Unilever, who own brands of deodorant, employ the likes of Peta Jones who loves her job to death, just as much as Mr Gooley, even though she has to sniff strangers’ armpits for a living!

As the company’s “underarm odour assessor’’, she works on research and development for brands like Rexona, Dove, Lynx and Impulse. “The first time I took part in sniffing, it did seem a bit strange, however, within the first week of the job, it was fine,’’ she said. “When I sniff an underarm I am testing for the level of odour, the type of odour and measuring how good our products are.’’

As you marvel at that, meet Paul McCorkell whose role as technical manager at Taubmans is to watch paint dry!
It may sound mind-numbingly boring to some, but not McCorkell, who has made it an art form. McCorkell, 39, of Sydney, cumulatively spends at least a few days a year staring at walls and painted panels at the company’s Villawood factory. “I’m not going to sit there for two hours obviously, but we would evaluate the paint at regular intervals,’’ he said.

“I would look at the paint every few minutes and evaluate it for different appearance. We need to make sure the customer is happy that it dries down to a uniform appearance.’’

McCorkell also said he finds paint a lot more fascinating than the average person.
“As I walk into a building,  while people might be admiring the architecture, I’m looking at the paint work and how well it has been applied.”
