You have this completely backwards. The lower a job pays, the more likely it is to be dangerous or disgusting. Some of the very lowest paying jobs are the most dangerous (lumberjacks) or the most disgusting (janitors).

- martindbp 3y agoIn the end it's all supply and demand, there is no causal connection between low pay and dangerous/disgusting work, quite the opposite. If a job is dangerous or disgusting and still low paid, it just means that the barrier to entry is even lower. Anyone with two arms and legs can be a janitor.
