What jobs would you be most scared to do?

[MyCheeryPearlTraybake]

Prison officer in a high security prison
in the army in a country at war.

I wondered if anyone would say teacher! I've taught some awful classes, but not to the point of being scared. And you lose the fear of 'performing' in front of a class very quickly. Lots of teachers hate speaking in front of a group of other teachers though!

My first boyfriend was a plumber who fixed loads of these back in the 90s.

It was a grim undertaking….

Pilot and Brain Surgeon

I’m a teacher and the kids are great company; you soon lose the stage fright. We have a laugh every day!

For me it would be anything in a tight space: submarines or caves. I’m not even claustrophobic but I hate tiny caves!

Anything medical. Absolutely go to pieces at the sight of an emergency, worse than useless - more messily in the way. I can do compassion but I can’t do veins! Or bones, and tendons also freak me out a bit! I am in awe of anyone that can handle that stuff, I’m going to have a restorative drink now because even thinking about it has made me weirdly agitated.

Submariner
astronaut- anything involving working at height
public toilet / portaloo cleaner
lion tamer
sex worker
traffic police officer

HGV driver, especially those ones with 2 storeys of cars. How do they reverse? It gives me the absolute willies just looking at them. Also a double decker bus driver. I just couldn’t do it.

I’d prefer to be a brain surgeon.

Anything diving/underwater. My ears can’t handle the change in pressure.

Psychiatrist. I wouldn’t have the patience needed for it.

Chef. Looks really stressful and loud. And the hours are crap.

Anything in the emergency services.....absolute admiration for them all.Having to run into danger and see the awful things they do every day.
Unimaginable to me....could never do it for many reasons.

Surgeon - the thought of operating on someone and positive outcome for that person makes me feel faint!

Lion tamer.

Air traffic controller. Terrifying.

Steeplejack, plumber, pest controller.

Police, army, pest controller

Diver
potholer
caver
miner

Basically anything underwater or underground!

Also anything where you have to stand up in front of people.

Firefighter or diver.
any job that involves being underwater is a nightmare

Anything boring or repetitive. If you have a career you love where every day is interesting and/or challenging the hours fly by.

Firefighter, cave rescue team, deep sea diver, astronaut, skyscraper window cleaner
