Working in IT isn't always pretty. After all, we can't all work on the cutting-edge technologies all the time. Some of us have to get dirty -- in some cases, literally.

Unfortunately, dirty jobs -- whether you're being chained to a help desk, hacking 30-year-old code, finding yourself wedged between warring factions in the conference room, or mucking about in human effluvia -- are necessary to make nearly every organization tick. (Well, maybe not the human effluvia part.)

The good news? Master at least one of them, and you're pretty much guaranteed a job with somebody. We don't guarantee you'll like it, though.

Here are seven of the dirtiest jobs in IT, and why your organization needs them.

Why don't you shovel shit for a living then, you nerd? They are always looking for shit-shovellers in every traveling circus West of Clyde's Creek, Mississippi. Maybe you could be a peep show booth cleaner? Or a sewer worker like Ed Norton? Why don't you become a food taster for Clinton foes? Or possibly you could get a job eating shit. They would be dirtier than your fucking IT job, and it would pay less. Be glad you type up a storm all day for a living, son.
