Working in a foundry or an oil rig. They both seem like pretty shit jobs due to the hazards, materials and conditions.

Know a manager of an oil rig.

Away from friends and family for months at a time, extremely dangerous, 12+ hour shifts, constantly dealing with issues with staff and all around miserable and stressful. Said he wished he had gotten into literally anything else.
