Probably butcher. I don’t like cutting up organs and pulling out intestines.
Another would be the divers who swim up city pipes to fix/maintain things. Hell no I’m not putting myself in that tiny space underground and underwater.
President of Senegal. not being Senegalese, nor having ever been to Senegal, I doubt I would be eligible no matter how much they offered to pay me
Plus the new president seems pretty decent.
I’m a teacher in Flroida and definitely not being paid enough to do it.
Debt collection.
Or anything related. I filled a gap between careers doing tech support for a local (Canadian) software company that made a database for collectors (primarily in the USA). Never again, the industry or ancillary to it.
I worked with a debt collection agency from an IT perspective and dealt with what I believe to be the same company. It is an industry that I never want to support again if I can avoid it. I met some good people but it’s just an unhealthy work environment overall.
I once fucked up a potentially lucrative business-to-business contract for one of those companies. It seems I innocently documented their intent to do illegal bullshit a little too thoroughly. It’s some of the work I’m most proud of.
You’re fucking class mate.
🫡 Thank you for your service
Least I could do.
And I’m still too chicken to even leave my comment about it long term, because these are not good people.
I once took a job where we essentially repossessed trap houses from the inhabitants - even if they had once been legal tenants. I soon started feeling much better when neighbours cheered us on and brought cups of tea. I later discovered my boss was notorious in the industry for going after scum rather than debtors. That job might have been the closest I’ve ever got to public service. But as for everything else you say, I couldn’t agree more. Debt collection against individuals is a disgusting, exploitative and inherently corrupt business.
Roofing. That has to be the hardest job there is.
The hardest? I dunno about that.
Janitorial service, cleaning toilets and worse.
6.000€ a week, one toilet to keep clean. It’s only used by an elderly (constipated) lady twice a week.
Deal ?
Where do I sign up?
(Health) Insurance agent. Too unethical.
Beekeeping. I appreciate and respect the little guys, but I can’t overcome the panic when a loud buzzy thing with a knife on its ass comes near me.
Australian native bees can’t sting, do a great job of pollinating, and make a little honey on the side. They’re very curious from experience with a swarm making a home on my water meter box, but not very scary.
Checks notes on Australia I don’t believe you.

Underwater welding,like on those pipelines that people get sucked inside
You don’t want an encounter with Delta P
Big yikes
The crab, damn.
Seriously. That was a tiny hole it got pushed into
Well, I just learned another job that I will never do. Thanks for the educational video.
Check out the Byford Dolphin incident if you really want to hear about a terrible professional diving accident. A whole guy was sucked through a tiny slit in a fraction of a second due to massive delta P.
When it’s got ya, it’s got ya!
Police executioner, or just police in general. I have morals.
… I think the police should have morals.
Arms Dealer. Anything to do with Wall Street. Law Enforcement and Incarceration. Human Trafficking. Anything dealing with the Military. Religion/Cult jobs. Scam artist. Lobbyist. Probably a few more I can’t think of at the moment.
There are lots of jobs you couldn’t make me do even with a gun to my head, let alone a paycheck.
I’ve worked as a consultant for 15 years, so I’ve worked with a lot of companies. There have been two companies I refused to work for. A payday loan company and one of those places that runs stand alone ERs.
What’s going on at the standalone ERs? Genuinely curious.
I have a few near me, but would never consider going to one if it’s going to cost me the same as a regular ER that’s most likely better equipped and staffed.
They are basically glorified urgent care clinics that can charge you exorbitant sums because they call themselves ERs. Plus like you said they aren’t attached to hospitals, so if something is really wrong they’ll have to transfer you. And bonus for them, they probably own the ambulance that will transfer you, so they can take more of your money.
Sales and commission-based income.
Any where I have to drive.
You wouldn’t drive 10 min one way for 500k a year, or 10 million a year?
That 500k would go right to the car shop and the hospital once they find out there has been a wreck.
Are you saying you’re unable to drive, and therefore would get into an accident for sure? What about 100 million dollars?
Yes, and it amazes me how interwoven it is with everything.
Unless you’re physically unable to use a vehicle, you could probably learn for 100 million dollars a year.
cries in rural town in Michigan
Is it harder to travel by foot in Michigan?
FUCK yes, at least if you live in a rural town. I live in a small farming town of 5 000 people. There is ONE grocery store here. Once a week, I go on errands (appointments, shopping, etc.) and I have to travel 25–30 minutes, or about 15 miles. And that’s driving. There’s no bus line, no train line, so if I wanted to walk, it’d take about 6 hours to walk.
How do you end up with a town of 5,000 people and none of them wanting to set up a store? My town has half that population and has two stores, though maybe that’s why it seems resourceful to do so.
There are other places to buy groceries: for example, there’s a small carryout down the street and a Dollar General as well. But those aren’t really “grocery stores” nor are they big stores. There are also a smattering of small businesses of course.
There also might be one or two in nearby small towns (which are still like 10–15 min drive away even then).
But for a good number of tasks, you still have to go into town, so my point still stands.
To be honest, having both a grocery store and a Dollar General near me, I actually prefer the Dollar General.
As someone who has worked for Family Dollar (which is a part of the same industry (“discount variety store”)), I absolutely hate that industry with a passion and refuse to shop at any store like Dollar General, Family Dollar, and Dollar Tree, etc. That whole industry is even more predatory towards employees than even regular retail stores are. That’s how they get the items so cheap in the first place—aside from supply chain injustices (read: slavery, same as most other industries), it comes out of the workers, both in pay and workload.
Anyway, I didn’t initially mean to go off on this spiel, so I’m sorry about that, and in any case my original point is still valid, I feel.
There is a price that would convince anyone to do any thing at least once.
