Potato chip picker—Somewhere in the world there is an individual standing next to a conveyer belt in a sweltering room performing the following sequence: 1. spot bad chip. 2. remove bad chip. 3. repeat for eight hours. Thanks to these selfless souls, consumers “can’t eat just one.”

Hazmat diver—These brave souls can be found splashing around in everything from oil slicks to animal waste.
