6. Police officer
7. Animal control officer
8. Janitor or plumber
9. Sanitation worker (AKA garbage man/woman)
10. Meat packer
i thought it was very telling that TEACHER was further up the list than janitor, garbage person, AND meat packer. as well as disturbing. hmmmmmmmmm.
i've always said that it takes a special type of person to smell my kid's morning breath and STILL want to mold them into responsible, god-fearing citizens.
many thanks to you, educators.

I can't STAND the smell of elementary school. Yucky little kid breath, cafeteria and a slight pungent odor of urine.
God bless those teachers!
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick
Really??? You never cease to amaze Mindi! ;)
THe first two years I taught school I got every blastin' sickness that the little rats brougth to school... this was high school so I didn't even have to deal with their snot. After about 1-2 years in the public school petri dish I have an iron immune system. I think I need to go back to teaching just for a booster.
Yep, been there done that, have the TShirt.
Yes, my classroom always was rather smelly. And germy. I was always sick when I was a teacher. You're welcome.
And I taught special ed for 7 years. Just sayin'.
That is why I use hand sanitizer by the gallons, no kidding. I make the kids use it like crazy too. I can't believe it is a dirtier job than a sanitation worker. Maybe time to change professions.
It's good to know Sean and I are both in the top 5. Nice. sick.
I teach voice lessons, so the little buggers even breathe on me all the time! No hope...
I even had one student that gave me pink eye---it was the worst!
Awesome, I'm a bank teller and my mom does daycare out of our home where I live. Super.
