So lest run down the list of Spice Miner problems.

For starters, you have to live on Arrakis, a planet whose only redeeming quality is that it's the only place in the universe to find the drug that makes faster than light speed travel possible. It's covered in religious extremists who will try to disrupt your operations whenever possible. The other thing you have to worry about when you're out mining is massive sandworms capable of swallowing your rig whole, and who are instantly attracted to the area whenever you touch down. The Spice drug pervades the food there, so once you've lived there for a few months or so you become addicted and can never leave. You're just a miner, you couldn't possibly afford to keep your habit offworld.

You know you've got a shitty job when you're pleasantly surprised to find out that your new boss thinks that your life is generally more valuable than the amount of cargo you could carry.
