Crime scene/Biohazard clean up.
Telemarketer.
Fast food employee.
Hotel housekeeper.
Stay at home dad (I love my kids dearly, but I don't think I could handle being a SAHD).
Most (if not all) jobs that included any kind of manual labor day to day.
See. Here's where this question gets crazy. You're going to pay me $275K/yr to frame a house, or dig ditches? RThe heck with $275. I'll donate a buck. $175 to be a framer, landscaper, laying tar on a road in Phoenix.
Sheeeeeeeeit. Them's gone a be some ditches! And I cancel the gym membership? FU. I'm going to be the best landscaper EVER! You wouldn't find a crooked wall with a level a compass a GPS and a laser. That road is going to roll pure like glass.
I'm telling you, I would be the happiest person, EVER. I'd have a 12 pack on my back in my little insulted backpack, absolutely killing it. Then, when I got home - I could say "I'm tired" without being a total ***** and pay one of the other guys in my crew to mow my lawn.
One thing to keep in mind is that if you don't like doing a particular task, you are probably not good at it, and will likely get fired from it in an employment at will situation. What I hate the most about working is the lack of job security and the lack of a pension. If a job would give me job security where I could not get fired no matter how badly I performed, and if it gave me a pension where I'd have a secure retirement that I'd be old enough to enjoy it, I would honestly do just about anything.
I have worked a few jobs that have been on the show Dirty Jobs - didn't mind them at all.
No way would I do anything that had to do with death or having to touch smelly or unclean people:
1. Butt doctor inserting tubes up hairy men's dirty arses.
2. Medical or mortician fields having to touch gross or dead people. Undertaker, gynecologists, etc.
3. Prostitute. Even if you could pick who you sleep with (clean, fit people), you are still exposing yourself to all kinds of disease, warts, herpes, etc. A rubber doesn't prevent everything.
4. Police officer. Way too much negativity getting cursed at and spit on by nasty people, and you must ignore it.
Any job in some hsithole midwestern town like Tulsa, OK or Cedar Rapids, IA. You couldn't pay me enough to live in one of those boring, dumpy, rundown little midwestern towns where the only culture involves hanging out at Sonic.
High School Janitor
Fishing Boat Worker
Septic Tank Cleaner Outer/Pumper
