I think we're all lurking a bit on this one Sawnee , especially me!!!
So I'll be first , 'cos nobody and I mean NOBODY! can have a more embarrassing job than mine .
I work as cabin crew for a well known British airline . Yeah that's right , I'm the guy serving you 'chicken or beef'. I might also add that I'm one of the 'straight' minority!
In my defence , I also improve houses and sell 'em on , 'cos the money the 'day job' pays shure aint much to live on when you got a wife and kids to support. So I have learnt to do a bit of plumbing , electrics , joinery and plastering . Which is why in my profile I've listed myself as 'Jack of all trades' and certainly master of none
So c'mon guy's who can beat that?

Full of Garbage(man)
When I use to meet new prospective gals for the 1st time I always told them I was a garbage man... or maybe just full of garbage.
I am a Paramedic / Engineer (the driver of the Fire Engine). I get to drive a $350,000 toy! But seriously, I really love it. A dream come true job. I am also a wildland fire specialist. So during the fire season I travel all over the western US on all types and sizes of wildland fires as an Engine Captain and or an Initial Attack Incident Commander. They also get a bonus of getting a "free" paramedic along for the ride. During our fire season we typically get some of the Aussies up here to help out. I am HOPING and it MAY happen this year our District will be part of the exchange program and I'll get to go down there.
I have been in the Fire Service for 12 years (10 paid) and I couldn't imagine doing anything else. Especially after some of the crappy jobs I've held in the past. I am truly blessed with my work. It has really kept me on track and maintained my sanity!

That's interesting, Hawkman...
In a million years, I never would have guessed it.
I don't see it as being embarrassing, though...
In fact, I may be able to beat it!!
I work at a landfill. I run their wastewater treatment plant and laboratory.
I also take care of most of the electrical stuff, and I do pump and pipework, etc.
I also operate heavy equipment regularly, and pretty much anything else that needs done. I've been doing this for about 5yrs, and before that, I worked as a department head of field operations for a laboratory. We did wet-chem analysis, micro, and organics testing.
Micheal, that sounds like a pretty dam cool job!
