Subject: Jobs you would never want to even apply for.....

Written By: Tony20fan4ever on 04/16/06 at 9:27 pm

Sanitation worker. Those trash-truck guys, I could never do it...deal with someone else's garbage? No thanks. I don't care how good the wages are.

School principal or vice-principal. I keep imagining how many students and parents would hate my guts.

Roman Catholic nun. The celibacy thing would drive me nuts. Even thinking about sex is a sin for them!

Almost any 'normal' job, if I could help it. I'm not very conventional in that respect; ideally I'd live a travelling, bohemian existence living from country to country, doing something artistic or something, even if I don't earn any money.

The only proper job I ever had was working at Toy'r'us. It was the same every day; stack this, arrange this, tell another customer you're not allowed to let them use to staff toilets...I'd imagine most all jobs are the same drag...

Btw, this thread would be better in the 'Playful Penguin Place'

I hear ya. I don't want to work at all-so I don't.  ;D  When people would ask me what I "wanted to be when I grew up", I would say, I want to be rich and be my own boss.  ;D  Well, I am my own boss but rich...?  :-\\  1 out of 2 ain't bad.

Besides all the jobs shown on Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel...the job I would definitely no apply for is the one I saw in TIME magazine.  It was a soldier going to the homes of soldiers killed in action.  The pictures of the soldier holding the wives who lost their husbands was very emotional to me that I could not even imagine the emotions and feelings they go through.  One wife starting swearing at him, telling him to go away, then holding him at her husbands furneral.  Though it isn't physical, the emotional drain must be tremendous.

::)  Psychiatric crisis intervention counselor...having been a psychiatric crisis client quite a few times, I've seen what and who they have to deal with...people who have to be in four-point restraints for the counselors' safety as well as their own, mentally ill people who have either gone off their meds or OD'd on them, people who think they're God or Satan, bipolar disorder patients in either a really manic or really depressed state, cutters, suicidal people.....

I wonder how crisis workers deal with it all and keep their own sanity intact!  :o

He say's he'll be up in people's attics and things and the temperature up there will be 20 degrees hotter than outside, it's like a sauna.

Southwest Airlines passenger service employee...I watch that show, Airline, and I've seen some of the crap they have to deal with as far as the customer....stuff like pulling drunks off planes, passengers getting 'bumped' and then getting into a hissy fit, lost luggage, passengers who don't show up at the boarding gate on time and then raise holy h*ll when they can't get another flight...

But I'd bet Southwest employees are not the only airline personnel that have to deal with it all.

Cop.

The guy who has to drive around and stick the hose into the porta-potties and suck all the crap out of them.

Principal (doesn't matter what level). I've often wondered, are there ever any kids that look at their principal and think to themselves, "That's what I want to be when I grow up?" Of course, there's probably not a whole lot of kids who want to grow up to be porta-potty suckers either.
