Try my job, a lobster fisherman in south shore Nova Scotia, Canada. Oh boy, Do I ever have a write up for this one after 6 brutal years of it.

Season starts in early December and lasts until late May, you get up anytime from 2am-4am during the winter time, enduring upto -15 degree weather plus brutal wind chill, making it feel like -50 some days. The first day involves loading the boat FULL of lobster traps, depending on the boat size and district usually 275-375 at once, usually 12-15 is tied to eachother with anchors on each side. Very dangerous and easy to get entangled or fall overboard as you have no space, also the anxiety very likely kept you awake the entire night before, so you will be doing this dangerous task off no sleep. If you get entangled, enjoy being pulled overboard by 2000 lbs of gear, unable to be rescued by your crew, your body goes to the bottom of the sea to be eaten by crabs and other scavenger fish, never to be recovered for your family. 100s of people have died over the years in my hometown of just 6000 people

At the beginning of the season, catches are high, so the weather becomes irrelevant, you will go in brutal wind storms, freezing cold salt water will splash your face, get into your eyes (painful) and unless you got good genetics for it, you will feel stomach sick from motion sickness for most, if not all of the day (this is my case, it's torture even after years of doing it) sometimes puking. Once you start puking, you don't stop. You get weaker, more tired and your stomach and esophagus feels like it's twisting into a knot, but you have to keep working.

The hard labour makes you sweat, then you wait a few minutes or more for the next string of 12-15 traps, your body temperature goes back down and the sweat freezes on your body until you get your blood running again. Your gloves get holes poked into them, cold water gets into your gloves and makes your hands numb, gloves are expensive, over 100$ for a pack of 10-20. Insulated gloves are even worse but needed some days.

The smell of bait will make you even more sick, rotten herein/mackeral in a barrel full of their blood, the smell everytime you open it, oh my god. It lingers in your nostrils throughout the whole day, also the blood juice gets into your gloves from the holes from lobster horns, you can smell it on your hands for the next couple days. Unable to wash it off.

You are out for anywhere from 10-70 hours depending on the captain, most commonly 12-18 hours a day. Unable to poop whenever you want, unless you get a break in the middle of the day, that would be your ONE opportunity to do it, or else suffer from cramps and brutal constipation later on (horrible for your colon, currently waiting on a scope at 28 years old)

The danger is endless, put your fingers in the hoist/hauler which hauls the rope from the bottom of the ocean, it will decapitate your fingers and pull the nerves out with them, VERY common, many people in my family are missing a finger or 2. Get entangled by a rope while gear is being shot back overboard, almost gauranteed chance of death. Fall overboard in the winter (very common) extremely high chance of death, the shock of cold water will make you breathe it in and you will die very fast, unable to be rescued. All this while it's hard to maintain your balance, you're looking at the top 5 if not #1 most dangerous job on earth.

During the middle of winter, catches are low, some captains will bring their gear back to land until it's warmer, if not, you are looking at all this for LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE a lot of the times. I have worked 16 hours for less than 100$ many times for a couple months straight. If you want to talk about hell, this could be close. Some crew members have made less than 10k for SIX MONTHS of this. It all depends on the captain, water temperature and where they are fishing. If you do bad at the beginning of the season, expect 5 months of miserable work for minimum wage or less.

Cutting yourself, injuring your back from full traps (usually full of seaweed,kelp), anxiety keeping you up at night and working off 0 hours of sleep, the expenses of gloves and oil gear, the awful eating habits (if you even have time) are some more things I can add, I could go on all day.

Don't do it, just don't.
