A long list for me, now that I have retired. If I was still working and had a wife and children depending on me, it might be a different story.
Working at a rendering plant.
Being the guy that changes the light bulbs on 1000' towers.
White House press secretary.
Any job in a big city.
There are probably a lot more.

How about you?


ergo, bibamus.

Customer service.

Changing light bulbs in towers is an easy job in the spring and summer and fall if it's not raining or have a storm blow in when you're up there. Winter stinks it's cold and gets icy. Got to be in shape and it takes some time and several breaks to get to the top. Built a few towers , and changed bulbs for a short time when I was in my early 20s.

social worker is at the top of my list to not to.
Parole officer next.
Prison guard.
white house press secretary would also be right up there unless I really liked the candidate but that isn't too likely to happen.

now those are noble enough career paths , just that I couldn't do good or effect change in any of them.
I have to have something productive not just merely a watcher of the chaos.

I would rather climb the 1000 foot towers than be a social worker.
ditch/trench digging also above social worker
clean toilets

I almost took a gig climbing a 300 foot tower , and you change the entire light fixture while you are up there not just the bulb , back when I almost took it , 1000 dollars a climb (1995 money) I was young and in pretty good shape not afraid of heights.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I used to AI cattle back in my younger days. Looks like nasty work but that is just good clean cow manure. Not dirty until it hits the ground.

Related, there is an outfit I know that pumps out septic tanks. Related.......the guys that deal with port-a-potties. They can have those jobs. are a

Don't think they are around anymore, but there used to be rendering plants. Would send out dead animal trucks. The knackerman. Would not want that job either.

Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.

Long haul trucker. I couldn’t handle it.
Dern near anything in a big city. It wouldn’t be the work, it would be the fact that I’d have to go there everyday lol

There are some great thoughts, here.
My wife spent close to 30 years doing home health care. Most of that was hospice care. She loved it and said she wouldn't want any other job. I couldn't do that kind of work.
