Popular Science has a piece in its current issue on the top ten worst jobs in science. While it plumps for “human lab rats” as worst, I would have gone for their number ten, “orangutan pee collector”. Mind you, I know a few physics post-docs who I bet think that “pee collector” pretty much describes their job, so maybe physics post-doc should have been number one.
