Snow Researcher — One of the few upsides of the Greenhouse Effect is the new jobs it's creating. Randy Borys is the chief snow researcher at Storm Peak Laboratory in Steamboat Springs Colorado. For the past decade, he's been examining the pollution levels in ice crystals. He says his results are discouraging. But at least, for a good part of the year, he gets to enjoy some of the best skiing in North America and call it work.

Gross Stunt Producer — Scott Larsen's career is one of the new realities of reality TV. There are now "gross stunt" coordinators — producers who specialize in staging stomach-churning exhibitions. As a producer on "Fear Factor," he's worked with cow intestines, tarantulas, hissing cockroaches and pig snouts, all of which have been considered tasty treats for the show's contestants. "Fear Factor" may have gone away, but there's always another show looking for a second helping.

Casino Surveillance Expert — Every modern casino has hundreds of surveillance cameras, and Michael Craig is among the prying eye at Harrah's in Las Vegas. He and his team work eight-hour shifts, and have instruments strong enough to zoom in and read the dial on a gambler's wristwatch. If you visited the casino several years ago, they probably have record of it in their video vault, which allows them to dig deep in the past to find patterns of criminality.

Hazardous Waste Cleenup Crew — Theresa Borst and Stacy Haney trained with the American Red Cross, but now they work for Bio-Clean in Everett, Wash., as certified HAZWOPERS (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response). They've cleaned up chemical spills, sewage, mold asbestos, and they've also been called in by police to clean up a crime scene. Scraping the blood off the sidewalk after a homicide might not sound like a fun day at work. One day they were called in by a medical examiner after a heart attack victim died in a hot tub. They needed a pool skimmer to collect the remains.
