What job would you never do?

Jordan, 21
I’m sorry but I can’t stand dirty jobs, such as a Coal Miner or a Garbage Collector. It makes me sick
just thinking about it.
Julie, 23
I could never be a police officer. Jumping over fences, chasing down bad guys like I’ve seen on
“Cops” just is not my style. Not to mention the corruption and abuse of power that goes on in this
profession. Anything but a cop for me.
Mark, 22
Any job with no Internet Access. Without access, I can’t post on message boards during slow times
at work.
Michael, 18
I just hate office and desk jobs. They’re so boring! You work from 9 to 5 in the same place and with
the same people every day! Not for me!
Sarah, 19
Any job at a Walmart, McDonald’s, or a convenience store.
I don’t want to offend anybody but I would have a terribly hard time applying for a job at one of
those places. I just couldn’t face my friends or family if I worked there.
Susan, 20
Ok, I will just be very blunt... I could never handle a factory job, a cleaning job, or most other blue
collar jobs. So little money for so much effort!
