Jobs you think would be really boring.

Irish defence forces The scouts

What a pathetic excuse for an army. They even limit the bullets they can use during training exercises.

Remember the life less ordinary advert on tv of them blowing up a giant poster of a tank

I hear they are getting cheap tin $hite Hyundai diesel vehicles this year to replace aging fleet of Toyota and Nissan 4x4s. Even Isis and Hamas can afford brand new Toyota Hilux'.

Looks like someone didn't make the cut, it seems

Motorway Toll workers . Maybe they enjoy it but I would be bored silly handing back the change

It's not as though ISIS or Hamas are known for their pensions, though.

My job involves solving and investigating high impact technical incidents. So it's different every day. I meet new people, learn new things etc...

However i do agree, I would like to have lots of money and retire early

I always wondered if the stereotype of working in accounting was true. It's supposedly the most boring and uninspiring of professions out there but I imagine it's quite a competitive environment in many ways, particularly in one of the big 4 accounting firms.

I personally think call centre work would be very grim with regards to job satisfaction and mundanity. I don't think I've heard of anyone that says they enjoy it and the the remuneration is often quite low.

Honestly accounting has so many different streams and it depends on personality. I didn't particularly enjoy the work atmosphere in the big 4 firms as I found it too competitive and bit much at times. That said, it was great to train in and have made valuable contacts from it. I'm an internal auditor which people assume must be so dull but in reality I get to see the workings of every part of the business and try to help them achieve better results which is great.

I would agree that call centre work would be so dull - especially tech support or something. From people I know who've worked in it, it's the same type of calls day in, day out.

Yeah, Incident & Problem management.
Thing is that every day I deal with stuff & people I've never seen before. Most of them are quite interesting and it's always something new.
