There are a staggering number of professions in the world. There is also at least one person for even the weirdest job out there. You might not believe that, but the presence of an underwater pizza delivery guy, a professional sleeper, and expert iceberg movers say otherwise.
Despite all the odd occupations that exist, there are some that many people don’t ever want to do, no matter how much money they are offered. You can find all those jobs in this list, so check it out and let us know whether or not you’d ever do them.

Those people who have to stand in malls trying to get passersby to sign up for stuff for companies and charities, and stay bright and cheery all day as people ignore their greetings at best and verbally abuse them at worst. I could never do that for long, I’d die inside.

A friend of mine is an Executive Admin for three C-level executives. I used to be envious of her salary (something like 90k after bonuses) but then I started noticing how her life was not her own. Remember the scene in Devil Wears Prada when Miranda calls demanding her canceled flight get changed during a hurricane? Or when she demanded the newest unpublished Harry Potter book, or rattled off instructions like, “find me that little piece of paper I had in my hand the other day.” Multiple that by three, and make at least one of them a huge man-baby millionaire who couldn’t operate a coffee maker if you took his hand and pressed his finger on the start button for him. Add another who made multi-billion dollar decisions on the daily but couldn’t order socks for himself on Amazon. You get the idea.
We were all out on a Saturday around midnight and she got a call from one of them asking if so and so has sent a certain email yet. That’s when I realized there wasn’t enough money in the world to get me to do it, and even if there was I wouldn’t last a week.

Door to door sales. I hate sales with a burning passion, and we found the one way to somehow make it even more miserable: jump in s van full of strangers, drive to some random town or neighborhood, then be outside all evening rain or shine, while harassing people while they’re trying to have dinner. It’s the worst.

Slaughterhouse work. I just don’t think it’s possible to [end life of] animals on an industrial scale every day and it not take a toll on you.

Any job that entails being famous.
For a brief moment in time I was ‘internet famous’ on another website. I didn’t seek it out, it just kind of happened because I liked posting and I was just having fun. But then I started noticing *people talking about me*. They talked about me as though they knew me. They had *opinions* about me, even though I knew absolutely nothing about them.
It freaked me out in a way that I can’t properly describe. My ‘fame’ even followed me onto other platforms where I used the same name(not this one, thank heavens) and *that* freaked me out even more.
I don’t know why anyone would want to be famous. It’s completely unnerving to me and I am not okay with it.

At the risk of sounding sanctimonious, pharmaceutical development. I received a summer research fellowship from one of the big pharma companies. They held a little conference for us in the fall to present our research, and also to try to recruit us to the field. I vividly remember a presentation given about one of their current projects. At the end of the talk, someone in the audience said “hey, have you guys considered that this mode of action might cause XYZ damage to the kidneys after prolonged use?” The researcher said “we’ve considered it, but we only get the answers to the questions that we ask, so we haven’t asked that question.” He also cited that “this is too far down the pipeline to worry about that now.”
That rocked me to my core. Yes, pharmaceuticals do a world of good (the fact that a Covid vaccine was developed and rolled out so quickly is nothing short of miraculous), but I never would be able to work on developing a medication that I knew full well might cause further medical issues for the patients taking it, no matter the salary.
So now I am a lab manager in an academic laboratory. Underpaid? Perhaps, but I love my job and sleep well at night.

Working on high tension powerlines.
They don’t turn them off unless there’s something seriously wrong so you’re shimmying along in top of live wires carrying enough juice to power cities. Apparently the current is enough to make your skin tingle even through the protective gear.

I met a woman at a party last weekend that told me she was in HR, and expanded into how she helps set up social worker-types for failure. The entire next day I thought about how miserable a person you have to be to do that for work.

Casino dealer, because of the absolutely disgusting people who frequent the table games. I have been playing for more than 20 years and have never, not once, seen a person wash their hands well in the restrooms. Many times they just walk right out and start handling the casino chips that the dealer then ends up touching.
Then, as bad, or even worse are the inconsiderate people who will sit there at the table with a cigarette and let the smoke directly into the dealer’s face.
No amount of money would make me consider such a sad existence.
