What careers have you ruled out since lockdown? (Lighthearted)

I've been considering a career change for various reasons. Not sure to what, just might not be able to do mine for much longer. But lockdown has helped me rule out a few options.
Teacher - for obvious reasons. Never. EVER.
Hairdresser - I had some initial beginners luck but not sustained. May now start offering the barber who cuts DS1's hair danger money.
Baker - very mixed results here. Income likely to be extremely inconsistent. Cost of litigation could be high.
Hermit/Nun - nope, even introverted me is getting bored of her own company.
Master criminal - well I suppose this would depend on how good I was but the risk of getting caught and being confined indoors for long periods,only being allowed out for daily exercise is too high.
What has lockdown proved to you that you're not cut out for? Grin

Well, I’ve certainly ruled out ever being a SAHP!

And my current job ordinarily involves a long London commute. I’ve always been resistant to staying away part of the week and generally insist on coming home every night. Lockdown has made me very seriously re-consider whether in fact when I go back to the office, why I wouldn’t just stay away two nights a week so I can lie down in a silent hotel room alone far, far away from my children and homework and picking up toys.

Anything involving children is a hard no from me!
