Wolf Files: Really Odd Summer Jobs

(Page 3 of 3)

Talk about a bad day at work: Levitt's odor appraisers are sometimes asked to appraise the odor of more than 100 samples.

Other odiferous jobs: No. 2 on the list went to the "stool sample analyzers" who work in a Virginia Tech research project on treatment for diarrhea and dysentery.

The third spot on the list belongs to a technician from the University of California who collects something from amorous dairy bulls that you'd think only that bull's girlfriend would be interested in.

To be sure, there are other odiferous occupations on the list. I just can't go on, and you probably have to get back to work.
