Bad Jobs General Chat

[Kathy]

Few enough of us find ourselves in our ideal job, and all forms of employment have their ups and downs.

I'm arty, creative, fairly smart but short-fused. Give me a problem to solve or something to create or design and I come up trumps. But the very worst role I could imagine myself being slotted into would be that of a nurse or healthcare assistant. Put me in a ward and anybody that could walk out would discharge themselves double-quick. Maybe I'm just what the NHS are looking for?! It's not that I'm uncaring, it's just that I'd be the nurse from hell.

What kind of job would you be rubbish at? - not talking about the essential low-paid jobs many people don't want to do, but some of the career paths people seek out.

I'd make a really bad teacher, patience too short to be dealing with multiple personalities in a confined area, the urge to bring back corporal punishment might prove too strong and I'd only get into trouble

HGV driver. On the news by the end of the day.

'We're standing outside the police cordon on the site where the children's hospital used to be, earlier this morning at approximately 09:30 an apparently enraged man in a heavy goods vehicle ...'

I'd be a dreadful dentist or surgeon. I'm squeamish and don't think my hands would be skilled enough to do a good job.
