SOUTH DAKOTA Please include job title, company/organization, city, etc. Must be a specific job, and not theoretical ("plumber" vs. "pipe fitter, Pipe City Plumbers, Silver Spring, SD"). South Dakota ideas only.
Ok, I may sound like a broken record but for the 3rd time I’d like to suggest Mike assisting in the Custer State Park Buffalo Round-up just outside Rapid City, South Dakota. Custer Park is probably one of the most unknown, beautiful and diverse parks in this contiguous and continuous United States of America. That is unless you’re a biker familiar with Iron Mountain Road while staying near Sturgis. Here’s the link: http://www.sdgfp.info/Parks/Regions/Custer/round.htm
Then there’s the unique structure in Mitchell, South Dakota called the Corn Palace. Ever year the venue is adorned with hundreds of thousands of various colored corn cobs to create works of art known as Ear-chitecture! Corn Adorner at the Corn Palace, it’s a Dirty Job. The Wiki-link……scroll down for better links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_Palace
Watching the Cranbery Farmer segment, Mike mentioned weather can turn to 15 - 20 degrees with the windchill....Well, imagine that being a high temp and with windchill achieving up to 40 BELOW....with that can come some tremendous snowfall, so my suggestion is to undertake the occupation of Snow Plow operator...of course, hopefully the weather forecaster will guide you to a good area and day
Hey Mike, how about cleaning some movie theatre auditoriums??? Ever seen a sold out movie theatre after 200 screaming kids? Pop spills, dirty diapers, chewed gum, soggy popcorn, cups of chew, body odor all in one room!!!! Not to mention what we clean during the down time!!!

I work in the Rapid City Regional Hospital Laundry and it gets pretty gross there. The dirty linen always has little "surprises" in it. There's a room that's specifically for the really soiled stuff.....

Landscaper/Christmas Tree Farmer, Stonegate Landscaping, Sioux Falls, SD
One of my great friends works for this landscape company which also owns their own nursery, including several acres of cut-your-own Christmas trees. You can go dig in the dirt for a while, maybe build a retaining wall, run a skidloader, and all that general landscaping labor. AND if you come at the right time you'll get to partake in the real fun of maintaining the Christmas trees, which involves using a rather dangerous and interesting looking tree trimmer/shaper, and dying the trees with a blue-green dye that flies everywhere with the slightest wind. You're sure to end up sweaty, dyed blue, and most importantly--DIRTY.
This is a very small company with just a few fun, funny, smart, and good-spirited people who would be great to work with, even if it is only for a day.
Mike, You should come and spend a day with my family. My father is the manager of a Regional Landfill. Four days a week he drives a large semi collecting garbage from over 6 different towns. (His smelly bulldog rides shotgun.) On Fridays, he dumps all of the garbage at the landfill and crushes the junk (not always junk!!) with an enormous loader and packer. (I'm sure my dad could tell you the "proper" name for the machinery.) Once a month the whole family goes to the landfill site to "clean up". This usually entails putting on elbow-high gloves and throwing garbage that was blown out of the "black hole" back in. Please come. We would love for you to visit us in SD!
We live in Sioux City, IA. and do alot of work in South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska. We clean out vacant houses for mortgage companies and you would not believe how nasty some people can be. If you want a taste of what we do go to youtube.com and search for NASTY HOUSE and PUKING CRAP by Tmaester01. These have been a house and a toilet that have been cleaned by us. Our company name is Walker M&M out of Sioux City, IA. 51106. We would be cleaning out a house in Sioux Falls, SD. and we would be cleaning out a house that someone has vacated and left it in a nasty mess. You will be able to see it transform into a sparklingly clean house.
I used to work in this plastic factory in Madison, SD it was called PPD Inc. it is orginally from Canada. This is one of the most dirties jobs I have ever had in my life and definately think this is something that you should really check out! I don't remember going home any day without black dust all over me! YOU need to check this out!
Dear Dirty Jobs and Mike, I'm a fan of your show and I would like to nominate my Brother's job as a South Dakota Dirty Job. While most everyone has painted a home few know how it's done commercially, and this is no weekend paint the bedroom. My brother paints interiors, exteriors and finishes all the fine woodworking that goes into a new home, such as doors and trim. If you think this is the New Yankee Workshop on steroids THINK AGAIN! Most people have no idea how filthy this commercial process gets, before it's a brand new home. By the way, my brother's the commedian of the family. So don't come unless you're willing to get dirty and have fun doing it!

"Stall hand", "Trainer", Vic Hanson Training Stable, pierre SD
hello our names are jamie and shane and we work at vic hansons training stables, in pierre, south dakota. http://barvh.com/ weve been watching mike row do some prety dirty jobs. hes been working aweful hard to entertain us and is doing a great job so we think he should get a break. we here at the stables do a dirty job as a stall hand. equine waste manager we like to jokeingly call it. we think mike could use a refreshing hard days work instead of a rigourous, grodey or down right dangerous one. working from 7:45 intil 12:30 he would get a 2:30 hour lunch and then head back for the last brush down finaly leaving at 4:30 or 5:00 p.m. . with vics permission, mike might like the oprotunity to try his hand at training and/or rideing the horses. the people here at vics are friendly and full of personality, which i think would make good company for mike as well as on camera interaction. cleaning out horse poop, brushing off the horses, riding and training a race or rodeo horse. learning how to feed and seed, water and walk. at the end of the day, you know youve worked hard. smelling like schuck, and sweaty from the quick work you do around these easily spooked large and barely domesticated animals which can bite stomp and kick at any given moment. this should make for good days work. meet the riders/trainers. meet the green guys and the veteran stable hands. meet the ranch hands and the dog snipper which loves to chace rocks and pull your lead rope. ofcoarse dont forget the 30 or so horse personalities. race season is gearing up therefore so are the stables, and the tracks. vic is here to weed out the horses that learn from those that dont. come meet vic and exerience south dakota here at bar vh racing stable. up in the hills of pirre, the state capital.

Some time back in my childhood, I visited a place called Bear Country, USA outside of Rapid City, South Dakota, for a family vacation. Now, the vacation was awful; but I have to say the highlight of my trip was watching from the family mini van as some poor schmuck with a shovel, in the back of a dump truck, proceeded to as fast as he possibly could pitch meat and bagels from said dump truck while a bevy of bears raced after him. At one point a bear managed to leap onto the lip of the truck bed and snag the man's boot, tripping him and knocking him down. He managed to get up just in time and ward the bear off, but I am fairly sure his jeans didn't survive in tact.
I believe the Dirty Jobs host and all his entourage would delight in an opportunity to explore and donate their time to this remarkable park and the many diverse animals that call Bear Country home. Its a family business and I'm sure they could use a hand doing the day to day maintaining/fencing/poop scooping/feeding that any zoo requires.
