    Debt collection.

    Or anything related. I filled a gap between careers doing tech support for a local (Canadian) software company that made a database for collectors (primarily in the USA). Never again, the industry or ancillary to it.

    Arms Dealer. Anything to do with Wall Street. Law Enforcement and Incarceration. Human Trafficking. Anything dealing with the Military. Religion/Cult jobs. Scam artist. Lobbyist. Probably a few more I can’t think of at the moment.

    There are lots of jobs you couldn’t make me do even with a gun to my head, let alone a paycheck.

    Anything related to plumbing or sewage.

    I already don’t like dealing with other people’s shit, I’d hate it if I had to do it literally.

    I’ve worked as a consultant for 15 years, so I’ve worked with a lot of companies. There have been two companies I refused to work for. A payday loan company and one of those places that runs stand alone ERs.

      What’s going on at the standalone ERs? Genuinely curious.

      I have a few near me, but would never consider going to one if it’s going to cost me the same as a regular ER that’s most likely better equipped and staffed.

        They are basically glorified urgent care clinics that can charge you exorbitant sums because they call themselves ERs. Plus like you said they aren’t attached to hospitals, so if something is really wrong they’ll have to transfer you. And bonus for them, they probably own the ambulance that will transfer you, so they can take more of your money.

    I recently left a job that most people would consider to be a very “cool” job. I previously would have considered the restaurant industry to be in this category of “you couldn’t pay me enough.” But I took a job as a cook, and it’s honestly been pretty good. I am getting used to the work, I get to exercise some creativity, the results are immediate and feedback from satisfied customers is nice. So I guess that changes over time.
