Teacher. I’m really not that good with or interested in other people’s children. Especially not 30 at once!

A carer. I just couldn’t deal with the emotional side.

Kids would walk all over me. Couldn’t represent the guilty. Hate fire.

Executioner sounds like the pits. Especially since traditionally they probably cleaned up all the body parts, too. I'm bad at many things, though.

Working in a children's hospital. I couldn't cope with the emotion of it all.

I'd love to be a bailiff, maybe that's inspired my next career Grin I'd hate to work in sales or marketing

Anything requiring you to sit at your desk and stare at a screen all day.

Any kind of emergency responder. I'd cry and get shaky voice at most emergencies.

Anything involving poo. I was a support worker when I was 18 - it was just the push I needed to send me to uni.

Anything that involves people’s bodily functions. Or animal suffering.

Cleaning - I have done it but I'm a 100% person (can't pace myself) so just find it back breaking.

Anything solely office-based, couldn't stand just sitting down all day!

Anything that involved harming animals unless it was needed for their welfare e.g a vet

Sewerage worker, imagine how those fatburgs smell.

Cleaner if it meant cleaning a toilet other people have used.

Healtcare, I’m not a people person and I would have an awful bedside manner. Boyfriend is coming home tomorrow after surgery, poor sod doesn’t know that hes left himself in for.

Driving instructor, people skills and patience, nope!
