What job would you never do, even if you were paid a million pounds a year and had all the training in the world

[Moveorstay2022]

For me, it's a commercial pilot. I just would never trust myself to make the right decision in a situation of distress. I'm in awe of pilots

Work with dementia patients. I don't have what it takes.

Prostitute

Prison warden/warder whatever they're called these days.
Prisons are awful horrible, claustrophobic , dangerous and oppressive places with violent and/or seriously ill people locked up but you're locked in with them.
Terrifying.

I don't know why I'm getting random strikethroughs...

I worked in an abattoir on the kill line. Our processing plant would dispatch 10,000 chickens an hour and 900 pigs a day. They are not given food or water for a 24/48 hours before being processed to minimize waste.

I'm vegan now!

Anything that involves personally delivering really bad news - police telling family there’s been an accident, surgeon telling family the op failed, doctor delivering news of cancer etc.

Mayonnaise tester, spider farmer.

Anything involving being underwater in a confined space. Wreck diver - nope!

Just typing it gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I'd love to scuba with the pretty fishes but sadly it's not to be.

Undertaker omg it gives me the shivers saying the word

A job involving fish.

Optician - eyes give me the creeps.

Working at height.

Working in a call centre. Because I once had a temp job as a student and had to leave as I couldn't do it. It was for a catalogue company, and I ballsed up so many orders on my first week. I've done loads of different jobs and temp work when i was younger, and that was the only one I was incapable of.

Snap!!!

I know one (one of the very best). He's amazing. Just amazing. So blasé about what he does.

I couldn't do anything that involved cruelty to animals. Or that involved dealing with adult feet.

Cleaning up vomit

Anything involving cruelty to animals.
Sky diver
Cave diver

I also worked in abattoirs on the line and didn't mind it at all. I didn't see any animal cruelty although I did on occasion see animals in distress. The people I worked with wanted to finish work as early as possible which meant everyone just cracked on with the work. Keeping the animals calm meant that they could be killed quickly and safe. I'd say I actually enjoyed it. It was only for a year or so and I enjoyed how physical it was and I enjoyed the people. I've never experienced people working that hard since.
I never worked in a poultry processing plant but I have visited some and found them a bit grim. Some of the chickens would get free but they were too dumb to make a break and would just stand there getting dripped on. Also because the killing is automated some chickens wouldn't be killed outright which didn't happen with the larger animals.
I still happily eat meat -although preferably meat that is raised and killed relatively locally.

I've also worked with blocked and leaking sewers? (I've led a glamorous life) I wouldn't like to deal with fatburgs but I could if needed. @QuebecBagnet surely can't have worked in UK sewers if she's never seen a rat 😮😮😮.

I couldn't be a mortician.

So interesting how everyone is so different. I think genuinely a lot of things can be overcome if they are not already a phobia.

I could not harm or kill humans or animals because morally I believe that to be wrong.

I really don't like spiders but I'm willing to address my dislike for a huge amount of money.

I'm terrible with numbers , so I would stress myself out in a job that relies on mental arithmetic - however I also assume I would just get better as I went along, so eventually I'd be winning...

I would happily be a mortician or an undertaker. I think it's one of the final kindest acts you can do for someone and I would be proud to be part of that. Our squeamishness around Death leads to a whole load of other problems.

Was trying to work out what fart bugs were 😂

Working for anything involving gambling.

I'm ruling out anything stinking or otherwise disgusting, ( that includes all medical and bodily fluid stuff ) anything to do with insects creep crawlies vermin or most animals in fact, nothing too high up or too deep underground, nothing too hot and sweaty. Happy to deal with books, children, maybe even teenagers at a push. I think I'd be very bored doing coding or IT, but fine with accounts. I think a call centre would be ok, though I don't actually know what that is like, although I'd hate to do sales from the point of pushing people to buy stuff they don't need. Office stuff, hospitality ok, hospitals not ok. Agree an abattoir would be awful, but also anywhere that cages animals. I think working in a prison would be pretty grim, and I don't think I'd cope well on locked mental health wards- am full of admiration for those who do, but I am not made of the right stuff for that.
Gosh, I sound almost unemployable!

Another one for abattoir. Or animal testing.

Interested to know how many people who have said abattoir/hurting animals still consume meat.

So many that have already been listed, but one of mine would be working in a chip shop. I don't know how people stand it, I'd get heat stroke.

Just one???
