At number 14 is a Payphone Account Manager. This worker says they only work 15 minutes out of the day "because there are 150 million cell phones in the country and only 300,000 payphones. Plus, when was the last time you made a collect call from a payphone? Also (you) get to spend plenty of time staring at the wall." The annual salary is reportedly $50K because collect calls are so pricey, 3 minutes for $25!

Coming in at number 15 is a Research Budget Analyst. This worker says his/her job is to "monitor medical research budget. If the researcher spends more money than budgeted, notify the NIH grant manager to get more money for said budget. If the researcher doesn't spend enough, notify the researcher to spend more money or risk losing future money to said budget." For a reported one hour of actual work per day, the Research Budget Analyst says the salary is $60K a year! According to the PayScale Research Center that's about right; a Budget Analyst, all types, in Washington D.C. earns a median salary of $64,177.
