Think your job sucks as an intern? Well it does. But at least you (probably) won’t literally go blind from it.
Very
 few people wake up excited to go to work every day. Most interns' jobs 
are just places they wish they could escape five days a week. Even if 
you’re paid, doing what you set out to do and have a fair degree of
 autonomy, you can’t help but think the grass is greener on the other 
side of the fence. It’s just human nature. In the words of Mark Twain, 
“Work is whatever a body is obliged to do and play is whatever a body is
 not obliged to do.”
Of course, many modern jobs really do suck. 
Nobody grows up hoping they’ll be a McDonald’s server or even manager. 
Few interns are happy working for some jerk everyday, or sitting in a 
cube in some gunmetal grey building waiting for their supervisor. Yet no matter how bad the workday gets, you can take comfort in
 our modern society and the amenities it brings – even the worst 
McDonald’s employee doesn’t risk going blind by the nature of their 
work.
The office drone doesn’t require physical beatings on a daily 
basis as the industrial supervisors want the interns to do, and even the worst boss doesn’t make you literally wipe their butt.
In
 the past, when kings and queens ruled the nations, many jobs were 
outright horrific. The rich and powerful expected their due. 
Civilization required its creature comforts as well. The fruits of those
 comforts were always reaped from the sweat of the poor and servile. A 
body’s got to make a living, and the jobs on this list are the ones that
 are so repugnant, so miserable and so dangerous that they are some of 
history’s very worst jobs.
Think you’ve got it bad? Think again.
