Jobs you have done you would NEVER recommend to your children

McDonald's

Teaching. I got out - best thing I ever did!

Teaching. I told ds I’d disinherit him if he went into it.

Dd would never go into it.

McDonald's apparently has a very good management training scheme and young people can earn decent money from it.
So I wouldn't necessarily discourage it if that's what they want.
Anything customer service (restaurants/retail etc) is usually pretty shit though.

Teaching or childcare

Teaching. Call centres.

Nursing. Worked on numerous wards in several hospitals and all had really toxic cultures. Never been bullied myself but my goodness I have seen some terrible behaviour. There's also plenty of ways to pick on people who aren't in the 'in crowd' - allocating the hardest patients, giving the worst shifts, sending people on escort duty just before their shift ends. The ways are endless.

Teaching.

DC has already said they wouldn’t dream of it seeing what o have to do.

Teaching
Waiting tables
Bartender
Shop assistant

As others have said, teaching! I loved it when I first started but it changed out of all recognition and has become an impossible job.

Social care

Call centre.
teaching.
nurse.

Teaching!

personally I think everyone should do a stint in retail and/or waiting tables at some point in their life. It definitely builds character and appreciation!!

PR agency. Stress and bullying and overwork. From clients and from within the agency.

Nursing, such a toxic, blame culture.

Teaching. It almost finished me, I would never recommend it. I still work in education but I’m much happier now I’m not a teacher.

Teaching. One AC posed the idea which I discouraged.

Teaching. Although my dc would never choose it now anyway!!

I've been a teacher for nearly 30 years.
Neither of my DC even considered it!

I wouldn't want my kids to teach or work in the NHS.

Nursing in the NHS
Being a hospital doctor.
Bloody awful jobs.

Anything involving shift work. Nights and quick rotation between different shifts were so bad for my health, I was constantly run down.

Retail- say no more!

Nursery worker.

Anything that doesnt make you happy.

Generally speaking, I'd advise against these jobs- nurse , doctor, carer, social worker, retail, the army, any job where you have to work through the Christmas period as standard.
