Debt collection.
Or anything related. I filled a gap between careers doing tech support for a local (Canadian) software company that made a database for collectors (primarily in the USA). Never again, the industry or ancillary to it.
I worked with a debt collection agency from an IT perspective and dealt with what I believe to be the same company. It is an industry that I never want to support again if I can avoid it. I met some good people but it’s just an unhealthy work environment overall.

🫡 Thank you for your service
Least I could do.
And I’m still too chicken to even leave my comment about it long term, because these are not good people.
You’re fucking class mate.
I once took a job where we essentially repossessed trap houses from the inhabitants - even if they had once been legal tenants. I soon started feeling much better when neighbours cheered us on and brought cups of tea. I later discovered my boss was notorious in the industry for going after scum rather than debtors. That job might have been the closest I’ve ever got to public service. But as for everything else you say, I couldn’t agree more. Debt collection against individuals is a disgusting, exploitative and inherently corrupt business.

You don’t want an encounter with Delta P
When it’s got ya, it’s got ya!
The crab, damn.
Seriously. That was a tiny hole it got pushed into
Big yikes
Well, I just learned another job that I will never do. Thanks for the educational video.
Check out the Byford Dolphin incident if you really want to hear about a terrible professional diving accident. A whole guy was sucked through a tiny slit in a fraction of a second due to massive delta P.
Wow. Fucked up. There was a guy whose last name was Coward. What a terrible name. I suppose at least they died quickly without suffering.
Anything to do with health insurance in the USA. I don’t want blood on my hands through denying people necessary medical care.
President of Senegal. not being Senegalese, nor having ever been to Senegal, I doubt I would be eligible no matter how much they offered to pay me
Plus the new president seems pretty decent.
Daycare provider. They’re saints, and I doubt I could last a single day.
Beekeeping. I appreciate and respect the little guys, but I can’t overcome the panic when a loud buzzy thing with a knife on its ass comes near me.
Australian native bees can’t sting, do a great job of pollinating, and make a little honey on the side. They’re very curious from experience with a swarm making a home on my water meter box, but not very scary.
Checks notes on Australia I don’t believe you.

Nothing. Give me a million dollars a day I’ll do any legal job there is. I’d retire after a day or seven depending on the job, but you could absolutely pay me enough to do any job.
Hi there, I represent a pharmaceutical company that has made a new penis removal procedure using groundbreaking new technology that only requires one pair of cheap blunt scissors instead of the usual expensive medical equipment. They are looking for test candidates and you seem like a perfect fit!
Doesn’t really sound like a job but ok. I guess I also wouldn’t do anything that would likely kill me. Like sherpa everest.

Lawyer. It’s like doing homework for a living.
I never understood the point of lawyers. Their job is to literally throw off the court in the process of determining the truth and choosing punishment for crime. For everyone else this would be another crime called “obstruction of justice”, and yet for lawyers it’s their actual job that courts allow.
Yeah sure, let’s not give anybody the ability to defend themselves, sounds like a great idea!
You have never been in any actual court room have you? Or met any police officer or prosecutor for that matter.
I have, but as the victim
Their job is to represent their clients interest and make sure they get a fair trial. There’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is one of the most important jobs for a justice system. I for one do not want to be charged for a crime I did not commit, and a good lawyer will turn that charge to shreds.
Of course they sometimes seem like the bad guys when defending rough criminals but those have the right to a correct and fair process too.
A lawyer’s job is to ensure the proper processes are followed in terms of both the letter of the law, and evidence gathering. A defence lawyer makes sure that the state doesn’t cut corners in the execution of justice, which is necessary for our society to not turn into a police state. (Note that this doesn’t actually work because police aren’t required to follow the law, but it would be even worse if there weren’t defence lawyers). A prosecution lawyer in turn ensures the defence is following the law and that the best possible case is made against the defendant, so that murderers and rapists don’t walk. I agree though that prosecutors who send people to prison for smoking weed should circumcise themselves as penance for being assholes.
Ultimately lawyers are a very important part of our law system, and if it weren’t for all the extrajudicial killings, harassment, violence against protesters, wife beating, black people beating, overpolicing, gun-toting, arresting without probable cause, threatening, and being scum that cops do, lawyers would be ensuring that we have a safe society. Unfortunately in our capitalist system of law, all they can do is stop you from being literally enslaved for something you didn’t do. Which is still something.
My old job doing systems design for a predatory mobile game. I quit that job, moved half a state away, and got a job that pays half as much in a company with integrity. Best decision of my life.
