Chimney sweep. They usually work a long way above the ground. Their job is so tough that it will not likely be eliminated by machine automation anytime soon.

Considering that all our garbage man does now is drive the truck and activate the arm, and occasionally get out to toss the single bag in from folks like Mom & me, then it has to be the chimney sweep.

I have lived in areas where the sanitation truck has just a driver and automated arm. There are still a lot of places where the garbage men have to do it old school; riding on the back bumper and manually dumping the cans.
-I had to stake a natural gas pipeline across the huge Atascocita landfill site a few years back. As the refuse decomposes, methane it emitted. At most landfills, that methane is burned on site. producing no useable energy. The facility and pipeline that I staked put that landfill methane back into the local natural gas utility system to be burned in homes and businesses. Its the natural gas equivalent of biodiesel.
