10 Crappy Jobs Of The Future (According To The Movies)

10. Cloned Organ Donor

Working a minimum wage job at a big corporation can often make you feel pretty disposable (especially if you wind up on one of those feted zero hour contracts €“ it's pretty much their whole deal). At least you're not literally employed to be disposed of, however, like the poor sods in Michael Bay's mostly-forgotten 2005 thriller The Island €“ starring the never-repeated romantic coupling of Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor €“ or 2010's Never Let Me Go, based on Kazuo Ishiguro's novel of the same name. According to these downbeat examples of speculative fiction, one of the possible routes for employment in the years to come is being cloned in order for your organs to be harvested by rich poorly people. Not only is that totally horrifying, discovering that you exist solely to die €“ and then have your guts ripped out €“ but the conditions beforehand don't look great either. In Never Let Me Go the three kids live a fairly tedious existence in a small English countryside town, wearing lots of woolly jumpers and staring out a rain-slicked window. In The Island the protagonists hang out on a isolated compound with stricter rules than Subway's guidelines for the maximum amount of meatballs allowed in a sandwich (it's as little as possible, just so you know). So you live a crappy life, then you die. Woo, the future!
