[NSFW] What jobs would you refuse regardless of the pay?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) April 26th, 2013

I’m talking about things that are legal to do, not being a child porn producer or some such. If you can’t think of a thing that’s NSFW but too awful for you to ever do, then perhaps you want the SFW version of this question.

A stripper. I feel uncomfortable being naked when my cat is staring, let alone a bunch of lonely middle-aged men.

Ron Jeremy’s anal consultant…barf, barf & barf some more :-(

The person responsible for ejaculating farm animals in order to breed them.

Male Escort. Making love isn’t something I could do for money.
@uberbatman Raises hand, I’ve done that in college, not for money though.
@ETpro I was beginning to wonder, mid afternoon on Friday and no question yet. :)

Soldier, executioner or anything along those lines. I consider that the lowest of the lowest forms of occupations, legal or otherwise.
Also sales rep, you know the kind that goes from door to door. I despise jobs that require me to lie to people.

Any technical job on a porn set. Lighting, camera, “fluffer”... you name it.

Can you imagine going home at the end of a day’s work?

“Honey, I’ve been looking at dick all day. Would you put on some sweats and a hoodie and let’s order pizza and watch a disney cartoon?”

Wouldn’t want to work as a fluffer or a porn flick sound FX editor.

I’ve been waiting for you to ask, @ETpro
I wouldn’t want to be an escort for emetophiles. (Are you seeing a pattern yet?)
I would not cook meat or kill animals for money.
I couldn’t be a soldier because I’m a fragile bookish Brahmin. No one in their right mind would hire me anyway.

Fluffers, huh… Wait… how come the porn industry is legal and prostitution is not? My head just exploded. Another question for another day. I have to get back to my books.

Those people who work for insurance companies that come see you in the hospital, and tell you your insurance coverage has run out, and you are going to have to either pay for it yourself, or go home. Same for the people who work for your company, who call you and tell you your disability has run out, and you need to come back to work.
My brother and several co workers of mine have told me about these people, and I swear I would put a gun to my head before I would do that job.

Schoolteacher. Instructing isn’t my best skill—I’m a do-er, not a teacher—and I’m not so great with children.

Physician, nurse, or any job in health care. I don’t want to see or touch the bodies of strangers, and I really don’t like being around sick people.

Elected politician. A person needs a very thick skin and a talent for not taking the constant attacks personally.

@livelaughlove21 You couldn’t feel comfortable if the club owner thought you were worth $10 million a night?

@ucme I still could do it, but we are now talking about real money. You know, the way the US Congress deals with money. A few hundred billion dollars here and another hundred billion there, pretty soon you’re talking about real money.

@uberbatman $50,000 grand a cum shot. Sign me up.

@Adirondackwannabe Was it that late? I had a little issue here where I almost got arrested today for a bill I didn’t know had gone to judgement and left me in contempt of court. Hence the willingness to work shitty jobs if they pay well. Beats debtor’s prison.

@ragingloli Funny. Those obscene jobs are all SFW, just Not Safe for Humanity.

@Blueroses I suppose it’s possible to habituate to constant exposure to wet genitalia. For the right price, I’d be perfectly willing to see how long that desensitization process would take, though.

@rainbowunbroken I don’t know if I’d be very effective as a fluffer. At my age, even the gay porn shoots probably wouldn’t want me. But the sound tracks of porn are so atrocious and obviously contrived I’d welcome an assignment doing a better job of saying, “Ooh, Ah”!

@bookish1 On the surface, it does seem strange that it is illegal to have sex for money unless) the whole thing is filmed and published for all to see and wank to. Thing is, individual entrepreneurs and small time pimps are doing the former. The commercial porn industry, on the other hand, is a multi-billion dollar enterprise with plenty of lobbying clout to buy the laws they need.

@filmfann Same answer, both threads. How’s this one NSFW? :-)

@SadieMartinPaul On the surface of it, that seems SFW. But given the behavior of teachers, doctors and politicians recently, I think I get the NSFW connection.

@ETpro “On the surface of it, that seems SFW. But given the behavior of teachers, doctors and politicians recently, I think I get the NSFW connection.”

Actually, I was aiming for the SFW thread, but I accidently landed here. Oops! Let me make a better effort:

Crackwhore
Any kind of whore
Drug dealer
Thief/burglar

ETpro's avatar

@livelaughlove21 I guess in truth I wouldn’t feel comfortable either. I’d just feel even more uncomfortable saying no to that kind of cash. :-)

@SadieMartinPaul Aha. Thanks for clarifying on the SFW list above. Re today’s more risque list, I think the only one not illegal (and so disallowed by the OP) is “Any kind of whore.” Anyway, thanks for the lists. :-)

I don’t think I would, for any amount of pay, be a cabin boy on a Greek freighter.

Paradox25's avatar

A teacher, or almost any other occupation in which you would have to deal with other people’s children. I would never want to be involved in any capacity of law enforcement, prisons, the medical field, being an emergency worker or others that are similar.

I don’t think I’d ever want to become an actor or any other type of celebrity either since I’m at my happiest living a private, low key life and no amount of money or fame could ever compensate me for that.

ETpro's avatar

@majorrich Well then avoid all Vaseline tanker assignments as well… :-)

@Paradox25 Fair enough, but what’s NSFW about that list?

Paradox25's avatar

Yeah I was in a hurray when I surfed through the questions list. I would say any job that would fall under NSFW is one that could never pay me enough. I could never picture myself working in the sex/porn industry in any capacity.

Only138's avatar

Also not a fluffer or a mop boy at a jerk off booth. Fuck that.

ETpro's avatar

@Paradox25 & @Only138 How about paid paramour to a rich and totally hot lover? What’s wrong with that?

bookish1's avatar

@ETpro: Got any rich friends looking for a rent boy? ;)

ETpro's avatar

@bookish1 Sorry, but you could always place a personal on Craigslist.

Blueroses's avatar

@ETpro I thought that was disallowed now? Solicitation on Craigslist, I mean.
Perhaps it’s just where I live, all I see on Craigslist is “slightly used mattress” or “table saw; safety flap missing; broken off-switch. $300 obo”

ETpro's avatar

@Blueroses I haven’t looked at Craigslist in ages, so you may well be right. They had that creep that was soliciting escorts on there then murdering them. Maybe that spelled the doom of their personals. Of course, a slightly used (or more accurately heavily used) mattress is almost the same thing.

Blueroses's avatar

OMG! I totally wanted a Craigslist date!

Guess I have to settle for this

ETpro's avatar

^^ Such a deal…
