So, there obviously are jobs you're too good for. Fine. But this isn't about them. Rather, if you know your worth well enough to know what jobs aren't worth you, you also should know what jobs you aren't worth.

Maybe you were denied them, and it made you understand you aren't qualified and won't be anytime soon.
Maybe you just know you'll be sent away with humiliating laughter if you try to get them.
Maybe you could get them, but you know these jobs are above your abilities, and you'd be the perpetual underperformer.

Either way, what are these jobs?

None.

Office jobs and stuff. Where I'd have to wear a tie to work and tuck my shirt in.

From the other thread.

Eh... call girl. :p

bloody hell thats a big list to make but I can safely say I will never be a professional moth hunter

From the other thread.

Eh... call girl. :p

No. But for $2.00 me love you long time.:fluffle:

no job is Too Good. it's whether or not you can do them.

but jobs I won't take? Managerial. I hate being the boss! :mad:

I marry you... yes.

No idea... something that required dignity...

going to work in a tutu?

Sorry can't dance. (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=DxhrpY1Ii00&feature=related) Most likely nomex.

Anything that involves a cubicle. My friends learned early on that sneaking up on me unexpected (though it can be difficult for some) can generally be bad for your health. Plus the amount of anger I would go through would probably drive me insane. (I hate being cooped up, I have a bad back so sitting for long periods of time can cause soreness and pain, etc., etc...)

i marry you... Yes.
$197... $198... $199... $200!

Haha, long list...

What jobs are above you Vault 10?

Male Model.

No jobs are above me. I'm the best of the best.

Pole dancer, stripper, actress - any job that requires that I have no waist, long legs, perky boobs and talent.

Pole dancer, stripper, actress - any job that requires that I have no waist, long legs, perky boobs and talent.

I can't do anything that requires those things either.

What jobs are above you Vault 10?
Quite a lot.
To name a few just out of those I'd like to take:

Professional rescue.
Navy fighter aircrew. I'm not in that top percent of people who possibly could.
Competition sports, I never had the determination it takes.
Professional business, I don't quite have the stamina required.
My career in the Navy I'm supposed to pursue in active service, a few months aboard nearly cracked me.
Racing driver. I drive more than well, I think I have some talent, sadly, it's too late for me to even try to bring it out.
A test driver for Porsche or another sports car manufacturer, though that'd be a hard job to get even if I was a racing driver.

I'm sure I could name a few more. Some I could never possibly qualify for anyway, and for some I've lost the opportunity I had.

Pilot, Naval or Airforce (I have honestly looked into it, too tall :()

CEO of a Multimillion Dollar Coperation (I have morals)

I'm starting to get the impression that I'm never going to be able to hack it as a director. Total bummer.

That is a brutal, brutal job.

I marry you... yes.

The peseta has really gone down hasn't it?

Satan. Apparently only one symbol of Evil Incarnate is allowed at a time. :(

Apparently every job I've applied for. *laughs*

The peseta has really gone down hasn't it?

Spain's currency, like all the countries in the EU, is the euro. Pesetas are no longer in circulation, dear.

I was turned down from more than one ice cream parlor. Either a college degree doesn't guarantee I'm smart enough to work a register or they thought I had weak wrists.

Spain's currency, like all the countries in the EU, is the euro. Pesetas are no longer in circulation, dear.
So that's why Euro is falling.

Pole dancer, stripper, actress - any job that requires that I have no waist, long legs, perky boobs and talent.

I've got long legs and no waist but that's it.

As for jobs that are "above me", I really don't know. Probably the hardest job I've done was being a platoon sergeant in a cavalry platoon and I only did it for two weeks. It wouldn't have been as hard if I didn't have two sergeants working for me who technically outranked me and weren't happy about the situation. Still, I did well enough, and if I'd had more time I'm sure I'd have had it down in no time.

No jobs are above me. I'm the best of the best.

Indeed. You seem to be the only one here capable of performing such a daunting task as inspecting signature legnths. ;)

Well...Professional level sports...i think thats prettymuch it, lol....

President of the United States is the first that comes to mind. Maybe prime minister of the UK. Here's how I see myself skill-wise:

*Supreme Being
*President of the United States of America
*UN Secretary General
*UK prime minister
*New Limacon
*UK composite minister
*Pope
*Canadian prime minister
*Dungeon Master

So that's why Euro is falling.

To the best of my knowledge it isn't.

Pilot, Naval or Airforce (I have honestly looked into it, too tall :()Aw, dude, that sucks. Aviation guys can have LASIK, now, so that takes that off of my list of "never able to get" jobs.

Hm...
I'll never be qualified to be a doctor. I don't want to put people back together.

So, there obviously are jobs you're too good for. Fine. But this isn't about them. Rather, if you know your worth well enough to know what jobs aren't worth you, you also should know what jobs you aren't worth.


I wasn't elected for the city council in 2001 (not that I campaigned for myself, I obeyed the party's discipline and campaigned for our best candidate).
Too bad... with my 16 preference votes, if I had been in Berlusconi's party, I would have been elected. A guy in Forza Italia's list got elected with only 13 preferences.

Any job that explicitly requires the ability to walk.

Damn, you beat me to it. :p

He beat us all to it.:(

Astronaut.

The CSA rejected me outright as I didn't have my MSc done by the time they were done their last astronaut call. However, I wouldn't have made it very far with only an MSc and being eager to learn given that I'd be up against people with PhDs and pilot licenses and all this. Hopefully by the time they put out another call I'll be qualified though. :)


Oh, and I'd also fail as a hairdresser. I mean, I'm confident that with training I could cut hair well, but I couldn't remember so many things about people that I'd see for an hour every couple of months and I'm not very good at being chatty. I lack social skills.

Damn, you beat me to it. :p:)

Down with the Walkies!:D

I applied three summers in a row to work in a used bookstore. I finally got the job when I graduated with my Bachelor of Education :D

Down with the Walkies!:D

But... I'm a walkie <.< >.>

My college education ended up with me getting a B.A. In Political Science emphasizing in International Relations, with a minor in legal studies. So I'm pretty much under qualified for everything.

But... I'm a walkie <.< >.>

Then down with you! Down with you, I say! :D

Professional La-Z-Boy Furniture Tester, held on retainer.

Then down with you! Down with you, I say! :D

*Disconnects the brakes on Maineiacs wheelchair and pushes it down a hill.*

Go WALKIES!

Anything that would give me a chance at killing somebody through pure ineptitude. I know I wouldn't want me as my surgeon or fire-fighter.
