What is a job that pays well that you would hate to do?

I was offered a position as a "Bakery technician" once where you travel all over and basically show stores/restaurants/bakeries how to use the products you represent in creative ways or sometimes just provide free labor.  They even provide you a free leased car or 10-12k$ every 2-3 years toward a car you buy plus mileage hotel costs etc...and a fairly decent salary.  BUT.......

You work long ass shifts five days a week and on occasion may have to work weekends....during the week you may be out of state and not see your home for 2-3 days straight at times...and the travel can get fairly insane.  I have a friend who does it and within one week went to Florida then Vermont then maine within the same week.  If i was single perhaps i'd consider it but as a married man looking to have a child soon....i'd never want to travel and be away from home quite that often personally even though it would be a big raise and the whole free car thing.

In love, yes.

Any type of customer service. Like direct contact with clients and ****. Not for me. I'm more in the back being left alone type of worker.


Oh ****. Pays well? Uh, president of a country. **** that.

Dentist, Surgeon, Mortician.

Thought about being a dentist and mortician as a kid. Am currently an accountant... guess the common thread is an aversion to human contact and your clients being unhappy to see you?

We get paid in Clacks and kustoms.

Hell where is that mod application form?

It's funny too i never had any urge or desire for a clack on my Cherry boards....now all the sudden on my Topre i have a wicked urge for one as an Esc key.  Ah well maybe in the future if i'm lucky.  Refuse to support the ripoff clones.

Yeah that is pretty much it. They are all noble professions, I just don't have the personality to deal with the full range of experiences that each of those professions is subject to.

If you are even in line to be President you are so rich or born into wealth that it doesn't matter

Prostitute.

[Fiery]

Prostitute.

+1 to this

And I couldn't be a doctor, police, president (dictator I could probably do), lawyer, and stuff that require me to interract with people who don't know what they are doing or has alot paperwork i guess.

[LiquidEvilGaming]

Prostitute.

Definitely agree with that, however i'd wager the common everyday prostitute likely isn't raking in the cash.  The high class escort services "Girlfriend experience" kind of deals i bet pay fairly nicely though.

I am sure the street walker types in the US probably are not making bulk bank but your standard Australian prossies in a brothel make more than the average person, same as the strippers. In summary, at least in Australia shaking that booty at 18 is worth more than myself.

"So irreplaceable and valuable to the project your the only PM we trust to lead projects after 9 pm when the building has shut down and everyone else has gone home. You do such a good job putting anyone else on this  would be a detriment to the project."

I had the opportunity to steer towards a managerial position a number of times before. I explored the opportunity once, and concluded it is not for me. I'm not good with people, and I hate administration.

Multiple times I was told it would pay better than my already well paying job, but there are things that I would not do for any amount of money. At least not for long. But nobody would append two zeroes to my salary for a single month of me pretending to be a manager person

But dont you understand, without your dedication to duty I could not go home at 4 everyday to see my family and enjoy my life at the expense of you.

Drug dealer. CEO of a FTSE 100 company.

Both for very different reasons.

I would love to be a professional driver though... Like a proper chauffeur, not a taxi driver (no offence to taxi drivers (<3 R1N3))

Anything that involves cutting other people open. No thanks.

Also, seems like being an airplane pilot would be pretty miserable. Long hours, being responsible for people's lives, the passengers are cranky jerks, etc.

"It’s completely black, and you have to more walk than swim. There’s no smell, though. All your air is bottled, so it’s actually worse for the guys who have to decontaminate you when you get out."

Seems like you're in a space suit basically. Doesn't sound like a terrible job. I'd just be afraid of the suit breaking.

Ooooh! I have one!  Oil rig worker. Those guys have paid living expenses while "at sea" and make around 140k a year, but it's miserable hours and extremely dangerous.

By now I'd happily do plumbing over my actual job xD .

I've done some plumbing. It's not that bad. Just gotta have a strong stomach, which fortunately I do.

I have used our glorious sky bus system probebly in the high double digits and on mayby 4 occasions i remember actually seeing the pilot. I think they are pretty protected from the general scum. Unless you mean them regional planes then there is no hiding.
