Which of these jobs would you least like to do?

The other ones:
1. Working in a factory making giant springs (and to this day wondering what they were used for cos you weren’t listening at induction)
2. Working for a Bookmakers (In a betting shop)
3. Working in a cash centre for a major high street bank (Handling up to £3million a day)
4. Working in a warehouse cutting cloth (more electric shocks)
5. Working for a Bookmakers (over the phone)
6. Field Archaeologist
7. Gardener
8. Working in a laundrette, unloading sacks of washing from lorries!

There not designed to necessarily be bad. They're all the jobs I've ever done, some of them I liked some of them I didn't. I just wondered if anyone else had a perspective on them!

i wouldn;t mind any of those other than washing the dishes. i like cold, so the plant wouldn;t bother me, i don;t mind hard work. telemarketing isn;t bad (i did it for awhile in high school. very easy and $10 an hour, and you will never see those poeple) so, the only unfulfilling task for me would be washing dishes, i have done that before and i HATE IT!!!!

it's nto like it's hot and festering. I like cold, so i wouldn;t mind it. and dead things don't bother me. I interned at a morgue for awhile, you get used to it. The ME was a bit eccentric and he just pulled the interns in there to help him when he was shorthanded.

Still, it's probably the worst on that list, other than being electrocuted.

And I HATE working on the cadavers. I can stand maybe an hour, then I start getting queasy. You can tell I'm not going to be a surgeon! :D

You know in many Zoos one of the employees has to masturbate some of the animals in order to collect sperm for breeding programs (at least that's what they say, I'd hate to think what else they may do with it...). So when you look at it, the elephants are starting to look a little bit better, eh?

Likewise - how awful. But I don't think be a dishwisher or meat packer either, so it was a tough call. I did vote telemarketing in the end though. Yuk.

Other refered to the rest of the list. I never swept elephants before, I lack the upper body strength!

No, no! I was a dishwasher and it was the best job I ever had! :eek: The people were nice, the hours were reasonable and I got to meet people every day. :)

I was watching one of those dumb adventure shows and elephant dung was used like snowballs by the kids because of how its processed (then again it was a dumb show). Sweeping up behind the horses, now that sounds worse

I did some odd jobs, but telemarketing was the worst by far. Never again!

None of those jobs sounds all that bad. I've done a few of them. The ones I've done include market research, telemarketing, construction labor, dishwashing and filing. I could think of jobs that are much more awful. For instance, there are professional divers who are hired to go into settling tanks at sewage treatment plants to make repairs under the polluted water. Now that job would suck.

Wow. That would suck.
