High-paying jobs come with lots of workload and responsibilities. Not everyone dreams of getting those jobs.
A user asked the forum, “What’s a high-paying job that you’d never do no matter how high the pay is?” Here are the top responses.
UNDERWATER WELDER
“Underwater Welder, one of those who maintain Oil Rigs out in the ocean? Terrifying, hard work, extremely long hours, and dangerous.”
DOCTOR/VETERINARIAN/LAWYER
“Anything where my decisions seriously affect others. Professions like Doctor, Veterinarian, Lawyer, etc. Knowing just a single mistake of mine can ruin someone else’s life forever would paralyze me.”
CHANGING LIGHT BULBS IN TOWER
“You know those guys who change the light bulbs on towers? That, I would never do that.”
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER
“Air traffic controller. Too much on the line. Mistakes can kill a lot of people.”
NURSE
“You could not pay me enough to be a nurse in a hospital.”
PRESIDENT
“The President, you must be insane to want that much power.”
NIGHT SHIFT JOBS
“Night shift anything. I have been there and done that. It’s not worth it. All that money is not sacrificing time with family or my health.”
SURGERY
“Anything in surgery. I have trouble watching fake medical dramas. I can’t handle needles. No way I could sit there and cut on people.”
WORKING IN CRAB SHIPS
“Working on the crab ships in the Bering Sea.”
FINANCE OR BANKING
“High-pressure finance or banking. I understand the need for money but wouldn’t want to spend every working day thinking about nothing else.”
SALES
“Sales. I can’t fool people well enough.”
ANY JOB THAT INVOLVES HARMING ANIMALS
“Anything that involves causing harm to animals.”
POLITICIAN
“Politician. I don’t like the idea of being widely hated.”
HARBOR PILOT
“A harbor pilot. In violent waves, they must get on the ship from a small boat (or dropped off by a helicopter) with no safety equipment. Then, they bring the ship into port. Just thinking about it makes me nauseous.”
FARMER
“I couldn’t be a farmer. I like the animals there, but the smell would get to me, and I couldn’t handle slaughtering the animals myself. Nor would I wanna take eggs from a chicken’s nest or milk any animal.”
MILITARY
“Military. I could not kill another human being. I’d die and would probably get my buddies killed along with me. For those of you who do this critical job, thank you for your service.”
