I keep seeing jobs open at Title Max and while I am unemployed I just can't bring myself to applying there. The thought of taking advantage of desperate people and charging what used to be considered usurious interest rates makes my stomach turn.

When I first started seeing the ad's I was curious and decided to investigate. I have heard they charge as much as 300% APR on their loans. I am the type of guy who could not do that to someone. I would try to talk them out of it if anything.

How do these people sleep at night knowing they are screwing people all for 12 dollars an hour that title Max pays their employees?

Oh, being a male stripper is another job I just won't do (I'd go broke unless I was getting tips to put my clothes back on....)

Could never be a car salesperson - same reasons as above.
Could never be a waitress - more people would wear there food than eat it, I'm afraid.

Proctologist, actually just about any type of person in the medical field: too much blood, guts, pain, body fluids, etc.
Field worker: picking crops all day in the elements with no broadband.
Roofer: dirty hot, no broadband.
Car wash dude, bending, tired arms, sore back, no broadband.

I have been offered a job, doing CPS case work, checking on abused kids, doing investigations. They offerred me more money than I made teaching. I turned down the job. There are some jobs, I just know are beyond me, and dealing with people who abuse their kids is one segment of society, I just could not tolerate on a daily basis.

I also know I could not work in an animal shelter. I would be a wreck all the time. Wanting to take home animals.

I don't do well with blood, or causing people pain. I work in a hospital, and saw some nurses debride a man with burns...he was screaming, and I could not take it. I asked if he needed more pain medication, and the nurse told me he is on maximum morphine drip...more power to nurses who can do that...I know I could not.

My son is a funeral director, he loves his job. But, I would think it is sad. And I would probably want to give people deals all the time...

Most jobs dealing with the public, or people in general I would not do. I do not like listening to stupid people talk about stupid stuff, on the phone or in person. No thank you, not for any price.

If the price was right, I would do any form of physical work, even menial work. IF the price was right That's more than people are willing to offer these days though, so that's out.

LOL- I will have to add that to my list.

One I would add is plant services at a Union tire plant. We had one idiot who **** on the floor/toilet seat and/or anywhere BUT in the toilet on a weekly basis. I guess he thought he was "getting back" at management or something since it was one of the main restrooms that some manager had to use but it was always the poor cleaning people who suffered.

Bwahaha! Sounds like typical union labor shenanigans at it's finest!

You'll never catch me working in a restaurant again...especially in the kitchen. Industrial kitchens are always nasty with grime and filth and it seriously grosses me out.

I could never do any of the jobs featured on the show "Dirty Jobs." I appreciate what the people in the episodes do, but I don't have the stomach for it.
