We have a saying in Britain. "Where there's muck there's brass." Which basically means that dirty unglamorous jobs pay a lot better than glamorous ones because there's much less competition and people would rather pay someone else to get their hands dirty.
I wouldn't like to be a car mechanic purely because of all the expensive and breakable technology that's in them these days. $1000 sealed metal boxes that go bang and emit expensive smoke as soon as you touch anything under the bonnet. I could handle being a commercial vehicle mechanic though.
When I was a kid I wanted to be a lift engineer (elevator mechanic) because I remember all the old electromechanical control systems. But now it's just boring circuit boards with passwords and diagnostic codes, compulsory call outs at very short notice when people get trapped and absolute liability hell if someone gets turned into mince when one of the elevators on your route malfunctions.
But lets see. Jobs I couldn't do? Any job involving wearing a business suit. Because if you have to wear a suit to make yourself look important then you probably aren't.

I wouldn't want to work on a road paving crew laying all that hot black asphalt in this Florida heat or a roofer with all that hot tar, shingles or metal maybe, but not hot tar.

ok you guys might think im crazy but a gynocologist. you might get the occasional bombshell but eventualy you will have to deal with old fat ladies plus i think it would make your sex drive diminish i mean think about it your elbows deep in vag all day then you get home and your wife wants to frisky, thats like being a mail man and going on a walk when you get home. just my opinion.

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult. :confused: I've got a suit, but it's only for weddings and funerals.

The magazine was Texas Monthly, it was probably 35 years ago when i was working in the oil field. The article was the 10 worst jobs in Texas. One of them was a chicken sexer. You have to flip the little birds over an move back their little fluffy feathers to determine if the hens or roosters. I had to do it with geese when I helped the DNR band geese a few years ago. A job I definately would not want.
