Truck Driving for me. It’ll feel cool for probably a half-hour for me, to be driving something big. Until my worry of having to meet things in timely manners start kicking in and my anxiety to make sure information going all directions are right enough for easy deliveries.

Not to mention, how stupid easy it probably is for a eighteen wheeler truck to topple over in bad weather.

      Not sure how anyone with two functional neurons to rub together would want to become a violent fascist goon. I mean, the hope is there that they will all be eventually swinging from gallows, but sometimes evil does get away.

    Anything involving Chemistry. I’m in school to become an engineer, but I absolutely hate working with chemicals and doing lab reports. I have a fear of heat, so working with boilers or exothermic reactions is not fun.

    Deep sea diving repairs.

    You have to go into a pressure chamber as soon as humanly possible when you arrive from the deep void of nothingness or else you rupture and die. If anyone needs a union it is those guys. They should be paid 3x the ceo’s salary.

    Also, sketch YouTube comedians like Smosh, Dropout, etc… I couldn’t be “on” doing comedy for 6-8 hours a day recording constantly.

    I wouldn’t be able to work in sales, marketing, or any client-facing corporate role since I find those interactions very draining and dislike having to negotiate or push people into something they aren’t already at least a little bit receptive to, especially if I don’t fully support that thing myself.

      The best sales people are those who - on a per-interaction basis - spend as little time as possible working over marks.

      It’s called fail-fast. You want to determine as fast as possible if the person you have approached is going to be an easy mark or not. You use a variety of openers and follow-up questions to determine whether you should just wish them well and move on, or actually focus on them to see if they’ll bite.

      Honestly, the absolute worst salespeople are those who chase after people who will never bite, and take offence at rejection. Because being immediately rejected is the other person doing all your work for you - they are openly telegraphing that you will waste more time on them than any benefit that will come out of them. Which is why a “f**k off” should always be followed by a “thank you”. Take that as gospel, fail them fast, and move onto the next person.

      Yeah, same too.

      I hate the fuck out of advertising and marketing. There’s no way I’d last even an hour, having someone tell me to go out and get people to buy products. Products and services that might not have been very well worth the money, but it has to be someone’s job to convince another to buy it anyways. You become the very thing you absolutely loathe.

    I think any purely manual, highly repetitive job would kill me. Like assembly line work.

    I worked as a dishwasher in a small restaurant as a teenager. Those 2 4-hour shifts felt like they lasted DAYS.

    HR. I don’t like people, and I don’t care about corporate affairs.

    Or daycare. I have four on my own, and they’re more than enough. Work hours are my hours of relief.

    I’ve not been able to hold any position more than six months… So basically I can imagine doing any job, but then quickly loose interest then can’t imagine doing it ever again. Hah

    Data entry. Probably the ADHD but I also have bad typing proficiency and I’ve been on a PC since like a preteen. I’m 31 now. I have no excuse but also I just can’t put myself to what seems like torture to me. My mind wanders.
