What occupation couldn't they pay you enough to do?

[Nathan]

I think it's heart-breaking, too. For people with hearts.

All of the "people professions" including police and fire take a toll on the soul.

I can’t think of anything. If I was out of work with zero money in the bank, I can’t think of any job that I wouldn’t do. I need to have a roof over my head and food, so I need a job. I would do whatever is necessary to earn money to pay my rent and have some food.

Ditto.

My whole life I've never taken a job where if I have a bad day, someone gets hurt or dies.

First responders, fire, police, doctor,...etc. Not for me even if I had the schooling. I worked for a shipping company for many years. The worst case scenario on a bad day would be a missorted parcel or letter.

I have too many outside-of-work interests to be fully "on" and committed to a job where I'd always have to bring my 'A' game.

Most of them!

I finished studying to become an EMT and hoped to go on to paramedics. I really wanted that job, and I think I'd have been good at it, but I had to move my family and I switched my focus.

EMT

Emergency Medical Technician

I think you would have also been good at that type of job. You've always been 'cooler than the other side of the pillow'...at least on this forum in my opinion.

 

[NorthernLight]

Anything to do with dogs. I'd be fired within minutes anyway, for being curled up in the corner, screaming.

I never panic. And it's not because I have a heart of stone, I just use the adrenaline for decision-making and whatever's needed. And it's interesting (to me) that my baby sister panics over virtually everything. And immediately, too; like, that's her first response to anything unusual. It's crazy.

I imagine that there's not enough money in the world to pay me to work as a guard in a maximum security state correctional facility. Not. Gonna. Happen.

Out of fear? Of dogs, I mean.

Pumping septic tanks. I can handle about anything else

We once had a house with a septic tank, called the Pumper People and out they came pumped the tank out, then the guy jumped in the tank. I was shocked, but he said it wasn't dirty............sure looked nasty to me!

Jeez. I'd immediately wonder what the inside of that guy's house looked like. Ack!

Keeper of the bats in a zoo!

That is a very easy job. They sleep during the day.

A teacher.

I had a friend that was a High school chemistry teacher. One day a mother came with her lawyer, YES her lawyer.
She wanted to know what he ( the teacher) was going to due to make sure her son passed his class.
Her son was a senior and needed to pass his class in order to graduate.
He told her..." I gave an open book test, your son got a 27 on the test". He then proceeded to tell her ...I can not open your son's head and pour the information into it. He has to do the work. You know.... homework, class work, pass tests, etc. I cannot pass your son, as it would not be fair to the rest of the class that studied, participated in class, did the work. What do you do at home to make sure he is doing the what he needs to do to pass?? The lawyer looked at the mother and said " no case here". And they walked out.

 

[Remy]

I've worked some low wage menial jobs including housekeeping. I'd do just about anything. But slaughterhouse or meat packing would be out. I'd be on the street first.

If you were qualified to do any job in the world, what occupation couldn't they pay you enough to do?

Diaper changer

can't

won't

So you wouldn't want to do what @Matrix does!

 

[Manatee]

A fireman in a place where there is freezing weather.

 

[Lilac]

I couldn't work in a fast food restaurant dealing with the Karens & Richards who think you are supposed to read their mind & then have a tantrum when it's not what they thought it should be.

But most companies like Job Johhny & Porta Potty allow employees to keep any money that may fall into those toilets. Best to use a metal detector device though than to use rubber gloves to sort thru the waste.

Thats even more desperate than dumpster diving.

Dentist or hygienist. The thought I've having to work in people's nasty mouths turns my stomach.

Agree. That was my second choice after working at Walmart.

 

[IKE]

Don't believe I'd want to do this job for any amount of money......looks like a pretty crappy way to make a living.

 

[Alligatorob]

For enough money I'd do pretty much any legal job.... but it would have to pay well enough that I could get rich quickly and not do the job for long.

All of the sanitary sewage ends up in the same place. There are people who have to deal with that shit every day.

I believe the technical term is turd herder...
