What Job Would You Never Do?

To relax, sometimes I scroll through the YouTube videos to check if there is anything interesting to watch. I usually like crafting videos. A few minutes ago, I noticed a weird video in the list: "Crime Scene Cleaners" (Real Life CSI) I clicked by curiosity, but I closed the video immediately after. What a horrible job to do! After the police and coroner have gone, someone needs to clean up the mess. I hope that at least they are well paid. This made me think what jobs jobs I would never do. Surely not the above mentioned, but also not surgeon, nurse, anything involving blood and nothing that needs to stay in narrow closed spaces. What about you? Is there something you would never do, no matter how much someone you would pay?

That work as a cleaner would be heart breaking in many cases. I had some farmer friends once and they introduced me to some really difficult work. But for me I don't think I could do many jobs that people seem comfortable with. Like for example if I couldn't do food server. If someone complained roughly about the soup I might not accept it. So need to give credit to those that can do it day in day out.

@LadyDuck I suppose like everything they do get nice customers and it makes their day. I guess all service industries seem to be demanding that way. I took care of abusive people while on computer help desk but it was the really nice people that made you want to come to work the next day.

@Bluedoll Unfortunately, you can meet abusive people no matter which kind of job you do. You are right nice people help to go on.

I agree that this would be a heart breaking job. There are many I could not do. I am not a very patient person, I think it would be hard to serve food and stand there listening for complains.

I wouldn't like that one either. I wouldn't be a trash collector. I would hate to smell like garbage at the end of the day, and I understand that one is well paid. Though I do like to see the trash collected.

@just4him They are lucky in your country, in most countries it's a job that does not pay well, because they do not need graduate people to do that.

@LadyDuck Sometimes they just catch the chickens but don't dispatch them, however, it would still be noisy and smelly..chicken farmer in general wouldnt be too cool but my uncle made big bucks with a chicken farm..but I think he quit that to own his own tool and dye.

Your discussion kinda' reminded me instead of an article I've read about the most unusual jobs in the world. They're unique and interesting, quite weird though like the professional fart smeller.... hmmm and I don't think I can ever do that job! Here's a link I found in the net, this isn't the exact article I've read but this is similar.
Have you been thinking about making a career change lately? If yes, then why not think outside the box a little? It turns out that there are loads of obscure yet well-paying jobs out there, just waiting for the right kind of person to take up as thei

@LadyDuck Funny thing is, when I first almost fainted at the age of 10 while helped bandage my sister's forefinger (she was doing something in the kitchen), I never thought that I was not destined for that sort of career. When the experience repeated again and again in my 20s, that was when it hit me, that THAT career would never be for me. A sad moment but life did go on.
