Summary: whew, looks like my job is #51 - fun book!
Review: For anyone that has gone through unemployment or the joys of a dead-end job, this book will give you a chance to sit back and laugh. Justin includes great photos and details on each of the '50' worse jobs. Although, I am sure if YOU have one of these 50 jobs - well call the book 49 jobs worse than yours!

enjoy this funny book!

Summary: The world needs ditch diggers...
Review: It apparently also needs rat catchers, it's a small world after all ride operators, and Tush magazine makeup artists.

Needless to say, a few pages into "50 Jobs," I started to feel a lot better about my work. This book has some of the funniest jobs I have ever heard of and never heard of.

It's rare that I laugh out loud when reading, but this book practically had me in tears. Great for the office or a coffee table, I would definitely reccomend this book for anyone who's ever complained about their job.

Summary: The World Needs More Books Like This
Review: Ruminating on how bad it could be is a time-honored strategy for coping with unpleasant situations. Frankly, I think that anyone who says they love their job either (1) doesn't really need to work anyway, or (2) has managed to work their way up to a level where the poop flows downhill.

Nobody could reasonably remain depressed about their job (assuming they are not already on the list) after reading about the "walking menu" (#22) or "rat catcher" (#12). Who doesn't feel like a Sherpa (#1) at times? But unlike the Sherpa, you don't have a one-in-twenty risk of dying on any given workday.

Manages a nice balance between the factual, "NYPD Harbor Unit: Body Recovery Detail" (#40), and satirical, "It's a Small World ride operator" (#3).

A great gift for anyone who gripes about their job.

Summary: Very Funny Book
Review: This is a great book to pull out when someone is complaining about his job. I leave my copy in the office and it is always the first thing people pick up. Just don't buy it for any of your sherpa friends.
