Cave diving jobs. Nothing on earth will ever possess me to travel through a claustrophobic cave and risk my life.
Some of the occupations mentioned on this list might leave you baffled. But it’s important to understand why people don’t want to take up these professions. There are certain jobs with highemployee fatalities, like working in mines, quarries, or oil extraction. Employees can also get badly injured while doing warehouse or construction work.
Debt collection for elderly peoples medical bills. Special place in hell for someone doing that.
Scam call center.
An exciting, adventurous, but also dangerous job that many people shy away from is deep-seacave diving. A lot of folks cannot handle claustrophobia or the risk of swimming to such depths. That’s why there is a stark contrast in how regular people speak about cave diving versus seasoned experts.Instructors and professionals love its beauty and often speak about the delicate stalactites, elaborate passageways, andtranquilitythey’ve experienced. There is so much to love and learn from this profession, but it’s understandable that for some people, the risks might outweigh the rewards.

Cold-calling sales.
Anything with children.
Sewer diving is one of the jobs mentioned on this list. The name itself might convey visions of stinky, dark, and dingy places, but there is so much more to the profession. People who work assewer diversmust wear expensive rubber suits that keep them safe from toxic chemicals and wear helmets that weigh almost 36 pounds.
Tobacco industry marketing.
Any MLM.
Pediatric Oncology Nurse.
Out of the many jobs on this list, being ascam calleris probably one of the worst just because of how unethical it is. A study found that as many as 56 million Americans might have been the victims of scam callers. This job (if you can call it that) involves preying on vulnerable people, and it can cause serious harm to the victims. There is absolutely no need to clarify why someone would want to stay away from such a profession.
Window cleaner on skyscrapers. Just no.
Influencer I suspect it destroys your soul if such a thing existed.
Door to door sales. I hate sales with a burning passion, and we found the one way to somehow make it even more miserable: jump in s van full of strangers, drive to some random town or neighborhood, then be outside all evening rain or shine, while harassing people while they’re trying to have dinner. It’s the worst.
Besides fear or distaste, there could be several reasons why people would want to avoid certain professions.

Slaughterhouse work. I just don’t think it’s possible to [end life of] animals on an industrial scale every day and it not take a toll on you.
Sewer diving or whatever it’s called. The guys who literally submerge themselves in s**t to fix/upkeep the sewer system. Not talking bad abt em at all, i literally just would NOT be able to handle that.
Any job that entails being famous.For a brief moment in time I was ‘internet famous’ on another website. I didn’t seek it out, it just kind of happened because I liked posting and I was just having fun. But then I started noticing people talking about me. They talked about me as though they knew me. They had opinions about me, even though I knew absolutely nothing about them.It freaked me out in a way that I can’t properly describe. My ‘fame’ even followed me onto other platforms where I used the same name(not this one, thank heavens) and that freaked me out even more.I don’t know why anyone would want to be famous. It’s completely unnerving to me and I am not okay with it.
Prison guard.
Not beneath me but above me. Those dudes that free climb and change lights on transmission towers. Pays really well. No, thank you.
At the risk of sounding sanctimonious, pharmaceutical development. I received a summer research fellowship from one of the big pharma companies. They held a little conference for us in the fall to present our research, and also to try to recruit us to the field. I vividly remember a presentation given about one of their current projects. At the end of the talk, someone in the audience said “hey, have you guys considered that this mode of action might cause XYZ damage to the kidneys after prolonged use?” The researcher said “we’ve considered it, but we only get the answers to the questions that we ask, so we haven’t asked that question.” He also cited that “this is too far down the pipeline to worry about that now.“That rocked me to my core. Yes, pharmaceuticals do a world of good (the fact that a Covid vaccine was developed and rolled out so quickly is nothing short of miraculous), but I never would be able to work on developing a medication that I knew full well might cause further medical issues for the patients taking it, no matter the salary.So now I am a lab manager in an academic laboratory. Underpaid? Perhaps, but I love my job and sleep well at night.

Casino dealer, because of the absolutely disgusting people who frequent the table games. I have been playing for more than 20 years and have never, not once, seen a person wash their hands well in the restrooms. Many times they just walk right out and start handling the casino chips that the dealer then ends up touching.Then, as bad, or even worse are the inconsiderate people who will sit there at the table with a cigarette and let the smoke directly into the dealer’s face.No amount of money would make me consider such a sad existence.
