    I admire truck drivers but could never do it too many bad drivers out on the road.If it was up to me to deliver goods everyone would starve to death.

    I agree with Airborne, Telemarketers have to be some of the lowest of them all.

    I wouldn't ever wanna be the guy who cleans out the poo in the cages at the zoo. I do enough of that as it is at home. 2 Ferrets, Hampsters, and a Cat.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    Only thing worse than a Telemarketer....a Telemarketer soliciting votes for the Democratic National Committee....


    .....seriously, the guy that washes windows on a skyscraper, or the fellow who changes light bulbs on transmission towers......if it was up to me, they'd have dirty windows and burnt out lights.

    I agree about the telemarketing into residences. A man's home is his castle. Where did strangers ever get the idea it was okay to dial into the sanctity of someone's living room? It's like having a salesman show up on your doorstep at dinner time, walk in, sit down and make himself at home and act like he has a right to be there.

    For a long time I told telemarketers that I was an activist against telemarketing and did not believe in calling people at home in principle, and was working to see that it was made illegal to call into people's homes. Some of them said things like, hey, knock yourself out. Well, guess what. Indiana passed the law for a do-not-call list, and my phone numbers are now listed with the Attorney General's office -- no more telemarketing calls, on pain of fines and legal action.

    I started out my career as a Social Worker. One part of my job was working with children that were victims of sexual abuse. After the police were finished interviewing them, they were brought to me and I then started the process of trying to help them try to put their lives back together. Many of these initial contacts happened in the middle of the night.

    I could never do that again.

    Your passing up some good jobs there. Mortitians round these here parts are rich. Its probably the best profit making business around. If I had the oppurtunity I'd probably take it up. You just clean up and put some makeup on a rotting corps, making several thousand dollars, and then it gets burried.

    Man, those mortitian guys are a different bread, I'll give them that. You say someone just died, and their eyes light up.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    Just when I thought that the half-barrel of defacation and JP-4 was a thing of the past, I went to the big sandbox and, yup, you guessed it tubs full-o-crap and I was the FNG. Stank City.

    I don't really know if there is a normal, legal job that I would not do to earn a living for my family.

    Two things I could never do:
    CRASH DUMMY!
    OR
    Sign up for WELFARE!

    Personally, as long as it's legal ... I can't think of anything I wouldn't do to support my family if I had to. Doesn't mean I'd enjoy it or would stop looking for something else ... A man's got to do what a man's got to do to take care of his family ... even if it means being a Telemarketer.

    I've always said that there were two things I wouldn't do. One would be driving a rendering company truck, and the other would be running a child day care facility for many reasons. Other than these two I can't think of any disgusting job that I wouldn't do to feed my family.

    I think before I could do either I would just stand in line and rob quick shops and liquor stores.

    A more serious note -- Some guys at a local anodizing firm turned down a govt. contract to anodize metal coffins for the military -- too many Viet Nam vets in the group.

    Lowrider, you big stud you, I'll bet you would love being a towel boy!

    I could not do anything that required being high (no, I don't do drugs either) like paint the golden gate bridge.

    Otherwise I have probably done it at one time or another, which doesn't mean I liked it. Cleaned out pig pens, horse and cow stalls, still clean snake cages.

    I don't think I could go in that chemical toilet at Joshua Tree Natl. Mon. again for any reason, including money.

    Gynocologist, couldn't do it unless I could hand pick my own patients. Imagine someone like Janet Reno coming in for a check up, shuddering, gag, gag, shuddering again, running for the bathroom...

    When Clinton left office they gave him a 21 gun salute. Its a damn shame they all missed....

    when i got out of the marines, first job was asst. plant mgr. building garbage trucks (polish catering wagons) in la ca.

    these are jobs that i came to know:

    pit man @ a rendering co. - the pitman fills & cleans, the renderings that the rendering trucks dump into the pit for procesing, has to be be cleaned daily - super gross!!!!

    rendering truck mechanic - just think a rendering truck broke down on a friday afternoon with a full load. the wrecker brings it into the shop on a summerday after closing, temp in the 90's. the truck sets all weekend long. the truck is leaking & smells to high heaven.

    the poor mechanic monday am has to replace the ring & pinion gear set, while its still loaded! - as one of the mexican helpers stated "look the white rice is moving", that was the least of the problems.

    the job should have taken apx 6.0 hrs, between puking etc. the job took 2 days!
