Even if they doubled or even trebled your salary, what job would you absolutely refuse to do?

And why?
Trebled your salary? Still wouldn’t sweep streets, or perhaps you hate dishwashing? Cleaning sewers? Milking cows?
No offense to those who do these jobs, I’m just giving some common examples of the “worst” jobs (imho), which are usually underpaid.
You?

I was a nurse’s aide for 4 years. My entire job revolved around feces and naked people (the ones that we really don’t want to see naked.). I don’t think there is much that I wouldn’t do for a fat salary at this point.
I wouldn’t slaughter animals.
I wouldn’t work for Play Boy, Be a Pornstar, Pose naked for magazines, Force me to do something I don’t want to do, I also wouldn’t work as a pilot_wanted to when I was younger but Now I am so scared of heights_
Etc..
I wouldn’t clean up the scenes of suicides or murders.
Work in the defense industry.
@Thesexier I’m with you on the height-bit, although I’d consider being a flight attendant. It doesn’t matter what amount of salary is offered, you will never see me washing windows on a high rise.
I would not be a public high school teacher.
also, do you mean tripled?
@Pied_Pfeffer , Oh I don’t think I could also make it as a flight-attendant. I am so scared of plane/flight death. Because of the Air France Boeing 777…something that crashed in he pacific I think. Damn!
Porn star, I mean you don’t know where they’ve been.
what does trebled even mean?O:
The three pronged hooks on fishing lures are called treble hooks. I wouldn’t want to work all day in a fish plant cleaning fish.
Only time I“ve heard “trebled” is treble damages in a lawsuit.
The person that has to clean out the porta potties. No way. Nope. Not doing it.
Triple my salary. Not much I would not do.
I have worked harder for less.
@ChazMaz You would be the porta pottie cleaner?
@chyna – For triple my salary? You better believe it!
Triple my current salary? I’ll do an awful lot of things… can’t think of much I wouldn’t do.
@ChazMaz Well, okay, but just take a shower before coming home. :-)
In the words of Jethro – “Aught plus aught equals aught.”
I’d never join the military or work as a pharmaceutical rep.
I would not work weekends or real late. I already paid those dues and 2 or 3 times my salary is not enough money to keep me here any longer than I have to be here!
For triple my husband’s salary (I don’t get a salary as a homemaker), I would not sell or manufacture smoking products.
I wouldn’t work an assembly line. I’d be very tempted to do it at first, threefold money and all; very quickly realizing I’d kill myself from the monotony and boredom within days.
@zenele or an office switchboard [if they still exist] or work at a copy center copying crap all day
[similar to the assembly line]
or clean toilets or a host of other undesirable things, like telemarketing or taxidermy
or tote that barge or lift that bale.
@anartist You had me at switchboard, but we diverge at tote. I’d like to tote some bale one day, just to give it a try. I wouldn’t wish to lift any barges though. They’re heavy. ;-)
I would not work for a tobacco company.
@Jabe73 I hear you, but, I was just chatting with a prison guard recently who told me that he liked his job. For every day he worked – he got three off and the pay was okay.
:-)
@zenele Yes but not for me personally. Ironically I work around high voltage circuits for a living so maybe my current job is alot more dangerous. I’m not a people person to begin with and prisons are full of many people I am sure I would not want to be around.
That’s where we’re alike, @Jabe73 – give me danger, high places – just not too many people.
:-)
WOW! Another Jabe! I am flattered. lol. I guess being a teacher or working in a nursing home would be near the top of my list as well.
@zenele actually for some reason they “tote” that barge according to the lyrics. I checked because I couldn’t believe it. Maybe a team had to pull them??? and they “lift that bale [of hay/cotton]” Bales of hay are big suckers.
—I would’ve gone with “pole that barge and tote that bale” but it wasn’t my song.
@anartist I know, but my way is funnier. If you don’t know me by now…
@zenele babe, I’ll never know you. You live too far away.
Many have made the journey. Save up.
I know I’m saving up my pennies. ~
Got your sleeping bag and tent ready, @chyna.
@zenele You’re gonna make her sleep in a sleeping bag?
* shakes head disapprovingly *
Hmmph, Maybe I’ll take my pennies to Mexico.
Hey, she tilded me first.
