I could go on…this thread has made me realise how much of a coward I am 😆

@Lampzade mortician is my ideal job 😂

Working on a submarine or enclosed space

Public speaker

Anything to do with drains or sewers
Farming
anything height related

Hairdresser if you cut it wrong you can’t stick it back on again

An A list celebrity. It’s all fun & games when the media love you & things are going well but I couldn’t be doing with being photographed going to Tesco in my Crocs after putting a few pounds on 😖. Not because I care about people seeing me, but the cruel comments would be just that - cruel.

I also couldn’t be a high school teacher. Primary age kids or adult learners who want to be there, yes. But not a high school.

Isn’t she called something magnificent like Skywalker? Or am I thinking of something else….?

Crane operator. Not sure what is worse, the prospect of getting up to that insanely high cabin or then having to sit there all day.

similarly, anyone building high buildings. Went up the orbit in the old Olympic park earlier this week and cannot imagine how people built and fixed it in place.

I came on to say exactly this. I've worked in prisons, rehab, social services, homeless shelters. People hold very little fear.

Tiny, pressurised spaces? <shudder>

A nun. Knowing that some (not all but a lot) of my fellow nuns and priests have abused and raped young children and vulnerable adults for it to be covered up by the church would and does scare the shit out of me.

Pest control! Terrified of rodents and don’t like birds..

Steeplejack.

High school teacher
Primary school teacher
Chef
Paramedic
GP receptionist
prison worker

Anything with dangerous people or animals
Anything at height

My current job. Machinery operative, we've had people skinned by machinery, burnt alive, lost fingers and hands, two people have hung themselves in my workplace.

Any job with machinery is terrifying. But someone has to do it.

Public speaking

Anything working at heights or underground

Window cleaner at the Eden Project.

Hope those guys are well-paid.

Not keen on flying or heights so anything like that I guess like skyscraper builder or pilot. There are a multitude of job's I'd not want to do but those would be what I'd be actually scared of.

Fellow PO here, completely agree! That sounds like it would have been really tough. It’s hard out there, I’ve moved into prison now and would definitely recommend it!
