(INTERNSHIP) what they claim to be experience though it is but some overwork the interns.

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.
