Data entry. Probably the ADHD but I also have bad typing proficiency and I've been on a PC since like a preteen. I'm 31 now. I have no excuse but also I just can't put myself to what seems like torture to me. My mind wanders.
Oil rigger. I'm simply not built for that level of manual labour day in day out. I wouldn't last a day.
I could never do most medical care jobs. About the only thing I could do is work in the pharmacy, and even then they sometimes have to give people vaccinations. I might be able to do that but that’s still pushing my general squeamishness.
Any job to do with food. Restaurant, bar, cafe, pizzeria, whatever. I just feel utterly incompetent there.
And it's not just cooking, even being a cashier or delivery guy is impossible for me. I can't put it into words, but I am just incapable of doing it.
My oldest brother went to work for McDonald's, then later for Hardees as a manager. I remember how his room smelled. Like old grease and sadness. He lost feeling in his fingers due to working the grill and was working all the time.
I vowed never to work in food, ever. Now 40 years later, I still haven't. Although for a bit different reason, as I love to cook and have made it a hobby. I would not want to make something I love to do into something I HAVE to do.
Anything related to specieism : butcher, breeding animals, selling cheese or whatever twisted shit speceists consume. 😬
The one I am being paid to do, rather browse lemmy.
Anything where I have to deal with human shit.
You mean like actual sewage or just like any common corporate environment?
