What would be the worst job in the world to you?
Before you answer, this isn't about a job you could do if the pay wasn't so bad, or one where the working conditions aren't so great.
This is the one job you could not bring yourself to do no matter how high the pay was or how badly you needed a job. You couldn't bring yourself to apply for it, you wouldn't take it if it was offered to you and you'd consider suicide if they forced you to do it.
For me: euthanasia technician in an animal shelter.
Easy. Abortionist. Any job other than that would be strawberries-and-cream.

2. Honey dipper.
Or as they call themselves Septic Tank Maintenance.
But that euthanasia technician would be a bad one too.

3. Any position in these industries:
Fossil Fuel
Factory Farm/Industrial Food
Pharmaceutical
Health Insurance
Weapons Manufacturing
I am a not-for-profit fundraising executive. I would also not work for the Catholic Church and probably not for any particular church.
I prefer to stay out of the for-profit sector altogether, but if I had to, I would.

5. Pretty much any job in the U.S. military.
Sorry, DU vets and active duty folk, but I just couldn't do it. Mostly because of that whole increasing the chances I'd be sexually assaulted thing, but also because I just don't have the ethical ability to rationalize these wars, let alone actively participate in furthering them.

6. Meat Packer.
I've been a vegetarian for 34 years, so even if I got paid 300 dollars an hour, I couldn't ever do it.

Well. Someone has high standards.
Worst job I've ever had? Apartment maintenance, aka minimum-wage ditch digger. I don't think my knees have ever forgiven me.

Why would you even think a Republican woman would be interested in someone who identifies themselves as regressives?

For most of them I would guess the honest answer would be any job that requires getting out of bed.

Don't worry, most members of the military wouldn't want you if you laid naked on a pile of money that they could keep for doing it...

Good one, sir.
Awesome.

she has an editor, god help us. I always thought she just used an old pictionary game, selected a card at random and wrote down what it said, repeat so on and so on, and her taurets just filled in the random curse words.

He's on to the pictionary thing, however. :rotf:

In my life I have been:
- A Paperboy
- A Dishwasher
- A Navy Electronics Technician
- A Computer Salesman
- A Janitor
- An Ice Cream Man
- A Taxi Driver
- A Scrapyard Worker
- A Furniture Installer
- A Caregiver for my Paralyzed Father
And a few temp jobs, any one of which involved more labor than many have them have performed in their lives.
What I have NOT been is a bitter layabout complaining I had no job. When I didn't like a job, or lost a job, or a temp job ended, I got another one.
When I see their list of honest, useful jobs they won't do, I'm not sure whether to laugh or scream.

Employment is just one of many areas in which my dad has always impressed the hell out of me.
He dropped out of school in 7th grade. He worked whatever job he could work. Finally got his GED and a job with the state Forestry operating a dozer. He was working with the Forestry when I was born. Within a couple of years of my birth he got a job at a large company with better pay. He was still operating a dozer. Before long he had worked up to an office job. It didn't take long before he got tired of being inside and transferred back to the woods. In a short amount of time he made supervisor and was given company truck. After about 17 years with this company they were bought out and he was laid off. He never moaned or groaned. He got a part-time job driving a log truck and looked for a new job in his free time. Within a year he got on with the DOT. He was back on a dozer. Shortly he had moved up to supervisor. Then he moved up to some sort of area supervisor. When he retired he worked for me for a bit while doing wood work on the side. When he went to work with me I asked him how much he expected to get paid. He said he didn't know. I asked how much he was making per week when he retired. It blew my mind. I told him that with me he might get paid that amount per three months.

Ava's bicycle seat. Would not do that for any amount of money.

I know the jobs I had weren't the most highest paying jobs(banking and retail), but I have always been employed. that counts for something. My parents have always worked, as they set a good example for me. I found out today that our store is #1 in our market for the highest retention rate at 91% :yahoo:

It's great that DUmmies list up these great job categories, along with a host of others, that they would never do - even in the unlikely event that anyone would hire them. It'a part of the reason they're losers in life and we're not.

Actually, provided you got paid, those jobs wouldn't be so bad.
But can you imagine being an OB-GYN, and seeing the two of them in your waiting room?

Mike_c's proctologist. Would have to hack through a jungle of matted hair, toilet paper pill bugs, and fossilized dingleberries just to get to the hemorrhoids.

It made my wife's uncle a multi-millionaire, you lazy ****. After several part time jobs in high school, he had enough to buy his first vehicle. He bought a sewage pump truck. He now has enough money to buy petty much any vehicle he wants, and owns a few antique hot-rods. I think I posted this story on CC years ago. He's a HUGE conservative and came from nothing. Wanna talk trash about how America isn't fair, DUmbasses? I'd love to see the conversation between you idiots and him.
BTW, the money he's made has allowed him to get into building and property speculation. He has no college education but could school probably any dumbass liberal business professor...if there are any.

Both easy enough.
Give UGP a box cutter with a rusty blade.
Give Bobo a can of ether and a match.

OH, HELL NO!
That would be the perfect time to book a 'round the world cruise.

22. Salesman. I hate professional liars.
Why make money doing something you're good at? Do it for free at DU.

33. I think the worst part of that job...
would be dealing with the rich, entitled ****s who tend to own those things.
All because someone owns an RV.

13. Actually, I'm kind of a bitch.
I'm having a hard time dealing with people who can't communicate today. At work I yelled at someone in front of my whole office because of his inability to read or write.

The worst job for any Dummie would be one that has "work" in the job description.

That's how liberals think. Rich people don't make people poor. Those fools bitch about rich people but if you ask any of the people that made Yachts after Clinton imposed the luxury tax how they felt about him, they'd all tell you his dumbass all but destroyed them. All of these niceties the rich have have to be produced, manned, furnished, detailed, etc., by other people. It's the SAME damn way in D.C. but those DUmbass fools don't understand it. There isn't a f'n congressman, senator, OR PRESIDENT that pumps his own gas, buys his own groceries, mows his own lawn, or cleans his own home.

You wish. :loser: You have more of a chance of that on most liberal college campuses.
I did meet my husband while in the military so I guess some of you DUmmies would think that was rape.
