    So lets say you're unemployed long term and you need money. Not so much that you'll starve without a job but you do need one.

    Anything that involved wiping peoples arses or changing nappies would be a no for me. Actually Id be/am quite a fussy job b@stard now that I think of it.

    What wouldn't you do?

    There's lots of jobs I wouldn't choose to do given various options.

    Mostly involving cleaning up after people to a great deal, especially cleaning up stuff that came out of them, or any job that required me to be too subservient to someone else.

    But if I had to, I'd do most anything to survive. I'm not too good for any job, though I think I'd prefer to try to be self-sufficient if the only jobs open to me were abhorrent: try to farm or create something to sell or such.

    I wipe arses in an old folks home. Someone has to. To counter this I kill people for money in the spare time. This helps me relax. Hope that helps.

    I wouldn't do flower arranging.

    I'd imagine working in a launderette could have a scuttery side.

    Worked in one of Larry Goodman's AIBP meat abbatoires 8 years back. Never again. It was hell on earth. One woman in the boning hall (no jokes please) had been working there for 37 years. I'd rather slit my throat than go back there.

    I'd do anything at all if it was my only choice.

    Bottom of my list would be hooker, stripper, hitman (woman?), abortion surgeon, advertising, nun.

    Things like binmen, wiping old people's asses etc... wouldn't bother me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 189 ✭✭WinstonOno


    when i worked as an electrician one of the jobs we worked on was the renovation of a morgue. my god, some of the stuff i saw and heard in there. i'd rather sleep in a piss soaked cardboard box outside the gpo than resort to that for money.

    Well a few weeks ago a few barrels of bull semen fell off a bus. I wouldn't like the job of getting that semen into them barrels either before or after that accident!

    yeah, picking out the gravel must have been a hell of a job


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 353 ✭✭ComfyKnickers


    Wouldn't do anything that involved cleaning up after bodily functions, dead people, rodent catching, vet (putting animals down wud break my heart!). Might have a go at prostitution if I cud wear me comfy knickers lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73 ✭✭deanswift


    i wouldn't wash Bertie's drawers.........esp after him suppin up in fagans


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 453 ✭✭dashboard_hula


    After the 3 months I've had buttering up managers and handing out CV's, I can honestly say that there's not a whole lot I wouldn't do at this point.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 175 ✭✭whubee


    buttering up ...is that some kind of kinky thing? sounds .... warm and slippery

    Dont think I'm above doing any job but I'd hate to work in a call centre again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    I'd never be a care assistant. I do it now for my sister, but that's because there is noone else to at the moment given my parents can't carry her up and down the stairs, it's soul destroying.

    I used to work on reception for a GP before and I used to think I might like to do it myself for the money that's to be had. Then I got a phone call from an aul wan one day asking could the doctor call up to drain the pus from her sister's groin. That ended the whole doctor idea for me anyway. No money in the world could get me to do it after that call.

    Doing anything for min wage would be soul destroying. I mean your employers are only paying you what they have to by law and would pay you less if they could. Hard to get out of bed for that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,962 ✭✭✭✭dark crystal


    Prostitute

    Car Clamper

    Police officer - specifically those police officers who have to catch paedophiles online. Looking at images of abused children would scar me for life. You couldn't pay me enough to go to sleep at night, having those images permenantly burned into my mind.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,139 ✭✭✭-Trek-


    I've actually wiped peoples arses in a past job :o
    middle management?

    yeah, definitely would never work in a abattoir.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 937 ✭✭✭newbee22


    From past experience- glass collector, especially during the weekends:(:(
    I couldn't be a doctor or a nurse, I'd faint at the sight of a needle!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,361 ✭✭✭YouTookMyName


    Fisherman.
    Miner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Sky King


    ^ i wouldnt mind being a miner or fisherman!

    I would hate to have any job where I had to deal with pissheads... bouncer, barman, chipper guy, taximan.... oh... hate it.

    Me neither. I saw a video of what goes on inside a slaughter house once and it was horrible to see how cruelly the animals are treated.

    I would never become a prostitute, a stripper or do porn.

    I wouldn't cook for a living. I hate cooking and I'm not that good at it either. :o

    I couldn't spend all day looking after children. I'd go nuts.

    I wouldn't do any job that involved working with sewage.

    I don't think I could be a nurse. I don't have a strong stomach for that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,844 ✭✭✭py2006


    Its kind of hard to imagine that anybody would turn down a job in this day and age!

    If I am pushed:
    • Binman
    • Street cleaner
    • Miner
    • Secondary School Teacher


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,802 ✭✭✭bluefinger


    pest control, have a fear of rats. although tommy saxondale makes it look kind of cool though.
