    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.

    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: 14,650 ✭✭✭✭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: 3,360 ✭✭✭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.

    My Mam used to gut chickens in a factory, I don't think I could do that

    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.

    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: 1,807 ✭✭✭bluefinger


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

    A farmer, I am far to lazy
    A Dentist, sometime money is just not enough.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,291 ✭✭✭wild_cat


    I've worked in call centres and as a rule of thumb you just zone out when they start narking at you and you don't take it personally, you'd kill yourself if you did.

    I wouldn't wipe arses or work as a chugger. Everything else is fair game.

    Iv been a carer and worked cleaning up after animals as well.

    But I could not work in an office or ever go back to call center work. It is soul destroying.
