Avalanche control. Something goes wrong in the middle of the mountains and they wouldn't find me until summer.

Just say no to call centers. Been there, done that, and quit without notice. It was the only job I had that I quit that way, and it was necessary to preserve what little sanity I had left.

Waitress--I'd mess up the orders for sure. And, people not making up their minds or not saying "Please," and "Thank You" while I'm serving them, would drive me crazy. I know, just know I'd "accidently" on purpose drop a plate of something on somebody's lap.

A dentist. I would just hate it.

Logger. I'd die or pass out before I'd cut the 1st log.

Pest Control. Too many fumes and poisons.

Taxi driver. Would hate it.

Anything customer service related.

Anything gross (like janitorial work).

Anything that pushes a religious agenda or benefits a religious group or institution.

Anything that pushes an agenda contrary to my political beliefs.

*For the last two, I've seen jobs I was more than qualified to do, but wouldn't apply for those reasons.

I'm getting to the point where I would say anything working in an office/cube farm (i.e. the Dilbert/Office Space environment).

Why? Because I have spent the better part of a decade working in that kind of environment and it truly sucks. It's like reporting to a prison everyday.

Once I do escape, I won't ever go back unless I'm truly destitute and about to become homeless.

Barista
Fast Food
Waiter -- I'm slow. I'm clumsy. I'm bad at cooking for large groups of people. I appreciate people who are good at those jobs and support their push for higher wages, because I know I'd be an utter failure at them. I was a terrible McD's and Boston Market employee as a teenager. I'd rather do anything but that again.

Drywall installer -- I did it once for Habitat for Humanity. All it proved to me is that I have absolutely no future in it.
