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

[mrstime]

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

Still not for me!

There’s a person around here whose job it is to clean up road killed animals that aren’t scavenged. They come in a truck, and get paid per animal collected. I wouldn’t want that job for love or money…

 

[Pinky]

undertaker/mortician

@Fyrefox , Picking up road kill is pretty bad, but it brought to mind having a job in the crime scene clean up business. That would be horrifying!

 

[deaver]

miner. mild claustrophobic more than three people in an elavator and I want out

 

[win231]

I couldn't work in any mortuary. Too quiet.

 

[Chet]

All mentioned so far plus surgeon and coroner.

 

[SeniorBen]

Dishwasher. That was my first real job when I was 16 and probably the worst job I ever had.

I don't think the quiet would be my problem... but rather constantly freaking myself
out thinking I "heard something."

 

[Rose65]

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

Cooking. I always find it nerve racking to have guests for a meal. I get hot and bothered. So I couldn't ever have been a chef or anyone working in kitchens.

Well, decades ago after already having a successful hardware electronics engineering support career, began to go to school for psychology courses. Wasn't long before I realized that I didn't have patience dealing with those with addictions that won't listen to advice or those that have filled their minds with nonsense leaving them hopelessly illogical warped, one cannot make sense to.

Anything to do with digging or drilling ... haven't the fortitude for that type of work or pain.

Interesting to see what people wouldn't do for any amount of money. I did such jobs for much of my working life, for little money.

Most of the others -- sure, I'd do them, for money.

No one has mentioned prostitute. I don't think I'd do that.

I don't know. You could say pretty much anything you wanted and not offend anyone or get an argument.

 

[Alligatorob]

It depends on the money... However I'm pretty sure its not a choice I will ever have to make...

 

[Rossana]

Commercial lawncare or roofer in Florida. I feel for those people!

At least they wouldn't interrupt you, while talking to them

 

[Happy Retiree]

Anything to do with insects, well except butterflies.

I could never be a hospice nurse. I saw what they went through when my mother was passing away. They are incredible people, but I could never live up to that.

I think I could, for money. I was an aide on a handicapped school bus, with severely handicapped children. I did my job with care, but didn't let it get to me. One day the regular driver was absent. The relief driver said he wouldn't be able to do it every day, because he'd "feel so sorry" for the kids.

But it wouldn't be my first choice. That kind of work doesn't give me joy, as it does my sister. She loved looking after people.

 

[Della]

At least they wouldn't Interrupt you, while talking to them

Or check their phones.

 

[fuzzybuddy]

Teacher. A friend was one. The kids weren't that bad. She hated "parents night". She said she prayed their kids wouldn't inherit their genes

I can understand that dealing with mentally ill people is not for everyone, but mental illness it is not a choice.

 

[AnnieA]

One-on-one juvenile psychiatric care aid. I covered once for a dietitian on an extended break and the chart room was next to the padded room. It was heartbreaking to hear kids in PTSD flashbacks begging, screaming for the aid in the room with them not to do the things that had been done to them.

Respiratory therapist. Have been in the room when they were suctioning mucus and it is an automatic gag reflex for me ...bolt for the door bad every time. Can handle blood, guts but not mucus!
