What's a job or and occupation that you could never do?

I could never be a police officer. Definitely not in a big city like Chicago or L.A., forget it. Or a Sheriff Deputy where backup could be 15 minutes away while I'm try to handle some crazy ass psychopath.

I could never be a teacher because I'm impatient, and patience is probably the most important qualification of a good teacher.

@helenS I taught for 41 years and loved it, but you are right--one needs to be patient and understanding!

@Docdon23 Wow I didn't know you were a teacher! 🌷
What subjects, please?

@helenS I would quit on the first day lol.

Military work.

For starters I understand I'm not the hulk and no one's fighting to recruit me but if they were i'd say no because majority of the times the military are fighting battles that destroy more lives than save them, plus they're being exploited by a government that couldn't give two shits about them

@HijabaDabbaDoo our soldiers are told they’re going to fight countries that need help but in reality they aren’t doing anything wrong and were made to look bad

@BatmanIRL it's genuinely heartbreaking when you look at the endless countries before they were destroyed and destabilised. I wouldn't wish that on anyone

BatmanIRL · T

@HijabaDabbaDoo definitely not. A lot of my friends have family in other countries that were destroyed because our government lied to us

I *would* never be a police officer because I believe the job is morally repugnant. Even good cops get subsumed by the jobs they have to do.

@CountScrofula The good ones unfortunately don't get the appreciation they deserve, thanks to the bad ones who abuse their power.

Working in a morgue - with dead children who have been murdered

@nedkelly 🤔well yes ned that does take a sort of person who can handle that sort of thing very horrific and upsetting all the same

Ironworker or scaffolder, I don't think I could work at the heights they do.

@Sapio A thing I learned as a roofer is to feel completely comfortable on any safe ladder. No matter what the height. Up, down, once you're on, you're as safe as a babe in swaddling.
