What’s a job that’s way harder than most people give it credit for?

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Roof tiling in Australia. Heavy cement tiles that are sharp as shit and working in the blazing hot sun. The single hardest job in the construction industry. The majority are Junkies.

I think TS was aiming a little high with the reading comprehension of Sherdoggers for this thread.

i was going to say online ho'ing, so funny you say this. but over 14 years ive seen hundreds of girls enter the findom game and just get washed out if not full on scammed repeatedly by people. im not saying it's hard to do, but people think it's easier than it is and then get hit with reality. you need common sense, and you know what they say about that . . .

The scammers get full on scammed repeatedly. What a shame.

it's her bruh.

Her brother looks kind of feminine

Been on more deaths than I can recall... the smell stays in your nose for a long time. Like a sweet, sour, rotting smell...spoilt pork or a really bad drunk with ulcers breathing in your face

I was born without a sense of smell, so no matter how bad it stank, it wouldn't bother me. But that's not the only sensory input. You have to factor in what you're looking at and physically interacting with.

So no thanks.

Politicians.

At any given time you have millions of people who hate you. People critcize every move you make and generally dont trust anything you say

Being a line cook at a busy restaurant looks tough. I have never worked on food service, so I don't really know.

it is, i didn't realize why all cooks seemed nuts until I worked in the kitchen myself, the heat made me nasty as fuck, you add the constant complaints and whines and non-stop pressure and it's plain as day why those guys were so nasty.

 

[mozfonky]

Take 100 people and ask them working retail is tough; bet you get a majority yes. What I'm saying is the majority have no clue what it entails or just how tough it is. There's degrees to it and it's an industry that is statically more dangerous than all first responders and construction combined; hence runs well under the radar.

I'd say anything customer service oriented would be the worst for me personally. checking anywhere, customer service anywhere. statistically driving for uber is fairly dangerous and the backseat driving complaints would never end. I could never do it, whenever I do drive anyone, friend/family, I'm always driving either too reckless or too slow, I would never want to deal with that all day. there is a reason lots of the immigrants get stuck with shitty jobs like that, they are more humble and accepting of ill treatment.

Emergency dispatchers. I work with them everyday and most don't get paid half of what they're worth.

I could see that, sounds incredibly tough, impossible to deal with in any rational way. I feel bad for the ones who finally break and get irritated to the point where they end up on the news.

Manager for a fast food place
But more just stressful and degrading than actual hard work

manager for a grocery store is about as bad, average burnout rate is a couple years I hear. It's the customers, the workers, the noise, the crowding, the constant working things out.

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

Concrete Flatwork. It sucks, trust me

 

[TheChance]

Nursing, most people have no clue what the job actually entails and we keep getting more responsibilty piled on us while patient acuity keeps getting higher and higher.

 

[Madmartigains]

Letter carrier, fuckin blows.

I don't really think about it too often but one of my friends has been head of Accident & Emergency at a major city hospital for nearly 10 years, she's seen so many horrific injuries every single day but is still a joker.

Caretaking for my grandfather has damn near killed my mother. It is a relentless, 24/7 gig of trying to manage an adult-sized baby

i could see it but I never personally got on with nurses, they will shirk things just like anyone else, to the point you wonder how they got through any sort of school and they are bitches too.

My brother just got out of the hospital, honestly, i'd rather be dead than deal with any of that shit.

some of those don't look that bad, in fact, i don't know if any of them do. I've done a bit of set designing, just as a helper so I didn't feel the stress the lead guy probably did. I hear writers live painful, lonely lives but I don't really understand why it's so agonizing. Landscaping isn't that bad, dirty, strenuous but I've done much worse gigs. grocery stocker is an ok job from what I can see, in fact, when I worked in grocery stores, pretty much any job not dealing with customers was preferrable to cashiering. no one wanted to deal with the customers. the owners certainly didn't, in all my years in customer service, that seemed to be pretty common, humans are vile.
