Unless it meant putting food on the table and paying basic bills? For me its retail.

Sales. I used to do retail 20 years ago when I was just out of college and then it was about customer service. Now it's all about credit card apps and huge sales goals. It's no fun to walk through a store and have sales associates pounce all over you because they are desperate to meet sales goals to keep their jobs. Retail store management is clueless about this stuff.

Is this because you don't like manual labor?

Any direct customer interact jobs. Even when I worked retail I always went on the night shift working in the back.

exterminator - I don't think I could handle seeing hundreds of cockroaches, mice, etc...i'd have nightmares probably

anything that requires "hard selling"....agressive begging to please fill credit apps, buy this, buy that.....I don't mind helping customers, but I don't want to force anything on them. I'd rather treat them well so they come back and decide to extend their loyalty by getting a store credit card ON THEIR OWN VOLITION

A soldier. I don't take orders from ANYONE, not even God when my life is on the line. Plus, I'm too hateful and hold grudges to ever be a soldier.
