Or the F'n HUGE Chemical vat that starts eating off the protective suit you are wearing..the moment you enter...
or the shit hole, and I do mean shit hole, that you have to go into ( for the city sewage treatment plant) in order to clear a jammed grinder...
But..on occasion there are the good jobs, working in zero vis cutting steel cable off tugs in the Chicago River,
And I could go on....But..
Those you listed are Pleasure Dives!
