What Job(s) could you just not do and why?
For me it would have to be a chef/cook, I really could not work in the heat, and pressure that is a professional kitchen.
wash dishes. i hate it more than anything in the world.
or anything with spiders.. exterminator?
but manual labor isn't off the table at all -- that kind of stuff makes you feel like your really WORKED a day. I like that. Sometimes more than just desk stuff.
Anything involving nudity, excrement, or manual labor in the hot sun.
Fast Food/Waitress. Just hate the idea of working with artificial food, wearing a uniform and potentially serving people I actually know. And honestly, the idea of working in Fast Food, while being over 30 y/o and working on my masters would be a total failure move on my part.
Oh, and anything involving crawling into tight/small places (like an exterminator).
Nurse. I could not cope with all the 'stuff' that comes out of a human body.

Yep me too, if someone's sick infront of me, I nearly come out in sympathy!
I also couldn't be an optician or eye surgeon...anything to do with eyes makes me really gag!
No way I could do bikini waxes.

x3. Especially in assisted living.
Ob/Gyn
Colonoscopy-type doctors
Any kind of medical anything actually, lol.
Professional assassin - It's not the dead people, because I could picture myself being a mortician or medical examiner, it's the whole being the actual cause of death thing I would have a problem with, along with having to not care about the agenda of your employers if you want to be a successful one.
Avon/Amway/anything requiring door to door sales calls - I don't like being bugged at home, so I don't want to do it to other people.
There's not enough money in the world to make me want to work in a factory farm - they're gross and terrifying.
Stripper - because I would have to work in a "discount" club or one that catered to fetishes, and that would make me nervous.
Sex worker - and I mean in the traditional sense - because I'm married and monogamous. $4.99/min sex line - maybe - if my employer provided the tequila.
And I definitely couldn't be the person that changes the bulb on top of the St. Louis Arch. I'm not scared of heights, per se, but that would freak me out.
CC moderator, underpaid, underappreciated, overworked.
Pooooor Nomo

Been there, done that with my grandpa. While I did it because I love him, I wouldn't want it to be my job.
I really admire all of the nurses who now take care of him at the nursing home.

That's really admirable of you, kbella. I think I would do it for my grandparents (or my parents, for that matter) but I'm really glad I haven't had to really answer that yet.
I couldn't work in a slaughterhouse either. Probably not even somewhere far away from the kill floor.

Can't a girl change her image once in a while?

Anytime you like lys
There is way more that I can't do than that I can. I am afraid I am only suited for office/computer work, or perhaps teaching at the college level and above. Nothing involving direct work on animals or people because I'd freak out too much if I messed up and caused any harm.
I used to work as a checker at the grocery store but I was very slow because I liked to read the nutrition facts on things, or even just glance at the calories, and it slowed me down. I did not last at that job as they measured worker performance on rings-per-minute and my rpm was usually the lowest.
I'm not sure what work I can'T do but any job that requires sitting at a desk all day long and looking at a computer screen is a clinical depression in the making. I'd rather be a pig farmer than work in na office.
And I probably shouldn't be a driver.
Ok, let's have a think, what else am I totally unsuited to doing: dancer, mountain tour guide, insurance broker, actress...

That's different from the lounge in what way Liebchen?
The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
