Dirty Jobs.

One thing I never see in any SF (that is with the exception of one episode from Season 5 of Babylon 5) is anyone with disgusting, vomit inducing jobs. Where are those aliens who have to clean out septic tanks, or those unfortunate dermatologists (perhaps the worst job in my opinion). I have been creating a list for the TSC of disgusting low class jobs and planning on writing a short story about each. If things go well I plan to write a book entitled A City of 1353 Seasons. The whole book would be a whole grouping of vingettes about the creation of Derlian the main commerce city on the central TSC planet Tallonfill. It would follow electricians, plumbers, masons, the works. This would not only be cool way to examine alien construction bu would help further explain how different races are able to construct technology according to their evolution.
