Is there a job you wouldn't do?

Post by EvilAngel »

Like shoveling poop or anything else you could think that'd make ya cringe?

*senerio* Keep in mind that your well being, self respect blah blah all lies on your decision.

Work at Taco Bell or live on the streets type of ordeal..

Well any thoughts on this?

it all depends on how destitute i was at the time and/or how much the job paid.. i have been in positions where i would do almost anything for a warm meal and a place to sleep. and on the other hand (at this point), i would seriously consider cleaning bathrooms if it paid $100,000+ a year.

there are some things i would have a very hard time doing, however...


- anything involving the killing of another person or animal by myself (up close and first-hand).

- anything where i was scamming the elderly/enfeebled/not-too-bright out of their hard-earned money (via mail, telephone or whatever).

- anything involving spiders in any way.

I would not be a prostitute.

also i think...i wouldn't be a world leader...i can hardly lead my own life...let alone the lives of a nation.

anything else i really don't have a problem with, as i've done most manual labor/menial type jobs...it's no big deal to clean toilets or mop up puke....sure it's not pleasent, but i mean you've got lots of chemicals and protective gloves and stuff...so it's not really that bad.

done that in a few different scenarios. cold calling?..... absolutely hated it. but, if people were expecting you to call them, it wasn;t that bad (warm or hot leads). inside sales (B2B) was OK, too. again, as long as it wasn;t "cold calling" it was tolerable.

will never do that again (as well as retail and foodservice) if i can help it.

I would be.... IF my clients would only be playboy models......

seriously I would take almost every job if it would keep me from having to live of other people's money..

Happy Holidays EA,
I would hate to work in a mine, hundreds of feet deep in the bowels of the earth, I have to give those men and women lots of respect for doing that day in and out.....
