Is there a job that you would not do?

When it comes to jobs dealing with "Jo Blow" like as a store clerk etc... That's where I draw the line. It's just too little money to deal withstupidity on a regular basis.

Yes, a nursing home. I took a job last summer at a group home for elderly people. There were six old women that lived there, four of them were in diapers and had to use walkers.One didnt speak english. The worst part was there was only one attendant for each shift. The morning shift was the worst. Here was the schedule, Wake up the grumpy old women, change crapty and wet diapers, get them all dressed and to the table for breakfast,(which I had to cook) give out meds, feed the women, one had to be spoon fed. After breakfast walk each one to go potty taking itty bitty baby steps the whole way while bending over to hold on to the walker from the back in case she decided to sit down and rest. After potty time strip down beds and wash bedding, make beds sweep and mop and all other house work duties. Then its lunch time and you repeat the breakfast fiasco. Then its shower time (two a day) ewwwww.

I lasted five days, my last day I worked a night shift. All of the ladies were coming down with something, It was a diareah crap fest! I was shedueled to work the morning shift the next day. I just couldnt do it!! I could just see the crap dripping off the beds and I just could not make myself go in, no way in hell! So I called in and told them I was offered another job and I wouldnt be coming in again.

All of this for $8.00 an hour. The dog that owned this home was making all this money from the families of these people and was to cheap to pay more people. I was never so happy to quit a job in my life!

I've done a number of things in the past - child care, house cleaning, catering, food service.....I could do them again if necessary to keep food on the table.

Yeah.

There is not a job that I would not do... for the right amount of money.

Probably would not whore myself. I wouldn't do anything that would make me sick to the stomach. Not anything dangerous. My safety is more important than my bank account.

I couldn't work at a fast food place - McDonalds etc. My skin is bad enough as it is.

NOT be able to do phone work; or do anything where I'd have to greet people (like at a hotel desk) or take care of sick people.

I would never work in a steel mill, refinery or any other dirty, dangerous facility. Or anything that required you to climb up in high places since I'm terrified of heights.

I would have a pretty hard time enforcing laws I thought were immoral so working as an enforcer for a government would be difficult for me.

I'm sure there are a lot of jobs I don't know about that I would not like to do. A friend had a job scrubbing out oil tankers or something like that - it was a crapty job, I wouldn't want to do that. Also wouldn't want to be a fluffer. There are a lot of jobs I wouldn't want.

It's really hard to say without actually being in this situation. I'd like to think that I'd be willing to try anything. But, I can certainly be a cranky dog about being forced to do unpleasant things.

Abortionist. Executioner. Star in a PORN movie. Otherwise I'm pretty open minded about what jobs I would take in the above circumstances.

If it really came down to it, I would probably do pretty much anything that was legal, at least for a while. Hopefully something better would come along soon.

Prostitution or anything too illegal.

Cleaning up Roadkills/Dead animals, cleaning houses that have had people brutally murdered in them ...autopsy assistant...yea yea I am squeamish like that

I think the only thing I would not like is a job where I would see yucky things, like poop or dead things. I wouldn't be able to eat. Maybe I'd numb to it. But if I needed the job, I would at least try it. I don't have a great sense of smell, so I think if I could get used to seeing things I hated, maybe I'd be okay.
I'd rather do that than let my kids starve, or whatever would be going on.

I WOULD NOT:

-Taste test or eat sea-food of any kind.
-Scuba dive with dangerous fish, or where any fish that have teeth or sting live.

Other than that I am game. I think? Can't think of anything else I wouldn't at least attempt to do for money.

I'd have to do what was necessary to provide for my family! I guess I would really find out if I could do "anything" by being in the situation though!

I would not sell myself, I would not do a job I had to lie and cheat.

I've done various jobs, in order to be with my children, night work, hospital work, motel maid, housekeeping, no job that I've been ashamed. Of course, I've done clerical work too.

i don't think i could clean other people's houses and i don't think i could empty porta potties/septic tanks etc.....

anything HIGH UP off the ground. I've worked in manholes, when I worked in construction, that's not too bad.

Hmm Yeah working high up in the air is not one I would want to do come to think of it.

The following jobs instantly come to mind that I could not (and would not) do because of the stress, headache, and heartache involved:

Police Officer
Doctor
Judge
Air Traffic Controller

Of course, there may be more, but I can't think of them right now.

Would not clean outhouses yucky poo poo

Abattoir worker

Vicar

Christian worker?

I could swing it, as long as I could retire right away.

There are plenty of jobs that I'd have a moral or ethical objection to, or where I would have to be a hypocrite to do them. I hope that I wouldn't do anything that required me to put my personal convictions entirely to one side, and I can't really anticipate being in a situation where my only choice was to either starve or take a job that I hated. If all else fails, there's always a need for people to do basic personal care (bedpans, bedbaths etc.) but that's a job that I've already done and really enjoyed. The only way that I wouldn't be able to get a job doing that would be if I got a criminal conviction, which I don't plan to!

Phone room, multi-level marketing, bike courier...

Ice Road Trucker

I'm a CNA
That's what I do every day
I love it
My deep love for my residents makes the hard parts of the job easy
I would never want to do anything else as a vocation

My husband used to do crime scene clean up.......*shudders*

Ugh, I know you get desensitized to it...........I think the smell would get to me................

I usually love that kind of work too. I think the elderly are very interesting to listen to. This job was so frustating because I knew I wasnt giving them all of the care they needed, I honestly do not know how the other girls could do it all alone. Seems there should be a law to have more than one worker taking care of these ladies. If they would have all been self sufficient I could have done it. The way it was it was like taking care of quad infants all by your self.

That job would scare the crap out of me!!!!! I get nervous driving in the rain.

You went back to it? Is the place you are working now much better than the first place? I worked as the UK equivalent in a hospital for 17 months and there was a huge difference between my satisfaction with my work when I was on a shift with good nurses as opposed to "bad" ones. On the whole, I loved the job - certainly I came to love many of my patients, and liked most of the rest, even those whose health made them violent (though I reserve the right to dislike the man who chased me down the ward with a pair of scissors) - but there were plenty of frustrating days when I knew that I had left someone wet for two hours because I simply couldn't get to them sooner I often miss doing it, even though I'm happy that I've made the right decision to move on.

It helps to breathe through your mouth

I totally understand

Yes, I went back to it! What are you doing now?

even so............LOL

I went over to the dark side - I'm training to be a doctor. Just under three years to go.

YAY!!!!!!!!!

Cold call telephone sales.
