90+ % of people hire go into fabrication. Basically you work on a giant 'disassembly' line cutting , packing, or shipping sides of beef. The worst smell you need to deal with inside the plant is the chlorine for about 10 mins in the morning. You never even touch the meat itself.
Like I said, the worst part is you get sore learning how to use a knife or packing boxes all day. They don't expect you to keep up for ~3 months so it is a perfect 'summer job' for school, in the respect that if you can put up with it, you never really need to do the full job. Starts at $15.xx, which kinda sucks, but most people earn ~$18 after 6 months. Top rate is about $19.50.
The downsides are you tend to get really obsessive about steaks and sharp knives. Most people have no idea how sharp a knife can get till how easy your job is depends on it. I can disassemble a cows hip in about 35 seconds from beginning to end.

Meat cutting is my back up job. As long as people eat beef, I will always have a job.
