The 10 ‘most unattractive jobs’ in the UK have been revealed – and being a cleaner is ranks higher than you might think
THERE are many things that can put us off a potential partner including: their height, a lack of hygiene or even their job – apparently.
For those still wanting to find their perfect match, you need to make sure that your choice of career isn’t holding you back.
Originally compiled by betting site Play Ojo, this list detailed the top ten most unattractive jobs in the UK – with certain sectors struggling to find love.
Though it was published in 2019, we doubt that this has changed very much in recent years as the top ten had many morbid or disgusting job roles.
Whilst there is nothing wrong with a hard day’s work, don’t be surprised if you haven’t settled down and work in any of these industries.
Reading through the list and giving her insight was influencer Ellie Dean, who tried to give a positive notes about even the most disturbing jobs.
Bottom of the list was taxidermist, with singletons being unimpressed by a potential partner that spent most of their days with dead animals.
Number nine also had a similar nature theme as pest controllers were also deemed unsexy.
“What is up with people and the animals,” she joked, adding: “There’s definitely a theme of anyone that is trying to get rid of animal in anyway.”
Though traffic warden and bailiffs didn’t manage to set hearts a flutter, they did take the eighth and seventh place respectively – as well as your hard earned money.
Just missing the top five though were fishmongers, who failed to impress even with the promise of a tasty fish supper.
Despite this, Ellie seemed not to be put off by profession and said: “I like fish. [I] don’t particularly like the smell of it but I like fish.”
However, even the bubbly content creator struggled to hide her disgust with the top five entries.
While we might love to hate them, politicians only came fifth overall.
Though many singletons might dream of living in Downing Street one day, the influencer wasn’t so taken with life in Westminster.
“Yeah, it’s not sexy is it? Name a sexy politician,” she joked, clearly unimpressed by the current cabinet.
Bin men and women came in fourth, but Ellie was pretty positive about the profession and argued that refuse workers have a love of the outdoors – unlike others on this list.
Another perk was the amount of physical activity involved in the career, with the influencer adding: “Yeah you might smell of bin juice but every job had its ups and downs.”
Unsurprisingly, undertakers took the bronze in the unsexy job list with many people put off by the morbid profession – including Ellie.
Though it’s certainly less creepy than other careers on this list, cleaner was dubbed the second least sexy profession leaving the Tiktoker stunned.
“I’m shocked. You’d rather date a politician than a cleaner,” she asked her fans, adding: “They know how to clean and the pay isn’t that bad either.”
Despite maid costumes still being sold in Anne Summers, it seems the profession just isn’t as sexy in real life.
Taking the top spot though was sewage worker, with over 34 per cent of those surveyed saying it was the least desirable profession.
Even Ellie struggled to deny this one and joked that sewage workers had a lot of ‘determination’ to get ‘s***t done’.
Well, we can’t argue with that!
