A MAN has shared how he rakes in a fortune doing a job that nobody wants to do.
David Schlum, from the US, decided to set up a biohazard cleaning company, specifically dealing with places where people have died.

But David admitted that while he can get paid as much as £30,000 for the job, it is not easy.
Taking to social media, he said he once made a £30,000 profit cleaning one house over the course of three days.
David already worked in cleaning, specialising in mould, and realised a lot of the products he was using could also be used in crime scene cleanup.
That's when he gave fellow cleaner and viral TikTok star Sadie's Pro Cleaning a call on how to get started.
Once done, he launched his own business called United Biohazard and soon got a call from the police for his first job.
He said: "I got a call from Dearborn Heights Police. There was a suicide in the basement.
"I drove there right away. I put my mask on, my suit on, I go in the basement, I got my flashlight and I go down there and there's just blood everywhere, brains over here, brains over there."
Despite working in cleaning before, David wasn't prepared for the scene he found himself in and began choking up and feeling faint.
"So I closed my eyes and I took out my phone and I just started recording. I go upstairs and I step on a fricking tooth. I almost passed out," he explained.
David rushed out of the house and called Sadie for some advice who helped reassure him.
I quit my £43K job in the UK to be a grape-picker in Italy and have ZERO regrets - I don't get paid but I'm so happy
To help with the cleanup, David hired a specialised cleaner for the job and was able to make £30,000 in just three days.
He revealed that because his company's work was often paid for by insurance companies, he was often paid the big bucks.
The clip soon went viral on his TikTok account @ david_schlum with over 500k views.
People were quick to take to the comments, with many asking if it was really worth the money when dealing with such horrific scenes.
One person wrote: "I'm a trauma nurse. I've seen it all. Financially, this seems like a reasonable career pivot."
"But is a lifetime of nightmares worth it?" penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Bro, I'm going to start one, that's how you make the most money doing stuff others don't want to do, very smart."
"Damn!!! Go getter for real!!! I couldn't do it. I'd f***ing throw up everywhere and mess the crime scene up,' claimed a fifth
Someone else added: "I have had to clean quite a few biohazards with my company as well. It definitely changes your brain chemistry seeing that type of stuff."
