Ok we've all had jobs where we're not sorry to leave! But how does the worst job you've ever had compare to these?
Leech Collector - The collector would sometimes gather the leeches by attracting them to the legs of animals but what the usual practice was for the collector to use their own legs! Once the leeches had fattened up and finished sucking blood the collector could harvest them. Many in the profession suffered from the effects of the loss of blood and infections spread by the leeches. Imagine losing a leg like that, would that make you a leg-end?!
Chimney sweep - Boys as young as four climbed hot flues that could be as narrow as 22 centimeters square. Work was dangerous and they could get jammed in the flue, suffocate or burn to death.
Executioner - Many executioners were professional specialists, they would cover a vast area since executions would rarely be very numerous. The executioner would often also administer non-lethal physical punishments, or apply torture. Perhaps Christian Grey was an executioner in a past life?!
Sin-eater - The term sin-eater refers to a person who, through ritual means, would take on by means of food and drink the sins of a household, often because of a recent death, thus absolving the soul and allowing that person to rest in peace. In the study of folklore sin-eating is considered a form of religious magic, nowadays it's someone who had that extra slice of cake!!
