Armed forces - but not just obvious reasons. Family on one side all military but it's not as well paid/supported as it was and the training isn't as good as it was.
Emergency/health services - dangerous, thankless, again poorly supported plus own and brothers bitter experience. Also yes prison service - again used to be an ok job but nightmare at mo according to a couple of dds friends parents who work in it.
Hopefullyanonymous - my brothers an officer he loves it but with recent changes to contracts and lack of resources and support he wouldn't recommend.
Tory MP - would never happen
Social worker - something dd seriously considered at one point but she was young and thought it would be playing "heroic rescuer" all the time. It's a damned if you do... Job in my eyes
Mainly though as long as she's happy and not struggling financially I'll be happy.
Strangely she has an amazing singing voice that only I and her bf and bf mum have heard that is going to waste - she's far too shy to be a performer.
A friend's daughter has gone into acting with her full support and blessing, she's starting to have some success too so maybe I'll have a tenuous claim to fame in the future. Other people asked her if she was worried for her dd with it being "unstable" etc but her dd is a grafter and quite happy to do behind the scenes stuff as well as temp jobs, waitressing etc to keep her going.
Sallyandherarmy far from being snowflakes they're judging based on the reality of those careers now! In the past those roles were respected and pay, conditions and resources reflected that - they don't any more. To the point that in certain roles it's making them far more risky than they need be.
Looking back some of my happiest jobs were nmw type roles, waitressing, retail and factory work. I stated on another thread factory jobs were my happiest. Actually wasn't that bad pay once bonuses included (i was fast and dexterous) and I had fun friendly colleagues and we were allowed to have radio on (upbeat music helped speed us up) so we'd sing along while we worked sometimes, blether and no high stress once we'd left for the day.
"I wouldn't be keen on ds being a bouncer either. Just because I imagine it would be fairly dangerous, regularly getting hurt breaking up scraps." Not necessarily - my cousin does this, now to be fair he's HUGE so most know better than to start anything but also the job mainly involves talking people down rather than physically dealing with them. Occasionally necessary but not as often or as bad as you might think.
Eilasor sorry for your loss
"Youtuber/gamer" the YouTube thing I get but game developers get really well paid if they're good and the companies are quite good to work for in terms of pay and conditions (yep another cousin - I have waaaay too big a family).
