Snake Milker

No, it’s not a euphemism. Snake milkers extract venom from deadly snakes like cobras, mambas, and rattlers. The venom is used for antivenoms and medical research, so yes—it’s important. But one wrong squeeze or twitch, and you’re dead. Imagine doing that eight hours a day, with venom flying in your face and reptiles that hate you on principle.

And the pay? Often underwhelming for the life-risking drama. Watching your coworker calmly milk a Black Mamba like it’s a coffee order while you wonder if your health insurance covers “bitten by something biblical” really brings new meaning to hazardous employment. It’s like extreme sports with none of the glory.
