Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Jobs you'd be too embarrassed to do

If your too embarrassed to do a certain job, I say you're not hungry enough yet.

Was in the local Walmart per usual about 08:30-ish one Saturday morning getting the week's shopping done before it got too busy, when I noticed a gathering of Walmart employees in a circle near the back of the store. Bear in mind, these aren't pimply-faced teenagers, these are grown men & women in their 30's, 40's, 50's, etc.

As I got closer, I started hearing some enthusiastic shouting, "Give me a W!" "W!" "Give me an A!" "A!" "Give me an L!... and what does that spell???" "WALMART! WALMART! YAAAH!!!"

I've heard it several more times since, so I know it must be a regular thing, but I walked away thinking, "Okay. I could work at Walmart if I had to, it may be a little humiliating at first, but I'd survive. I maybe could even fake it thru an employee pep rally in the back, out of sight of the public.. but right out there in front of the public?? My family would have to be borderline starving."

I was an ambitious little tyke selling Christmas cards door-to-door at the young age of 6. My older bud paid me a nickel per box sold. As I recall, he made a quarter on my sale.

Fast forward and there's likely very few jobs that I did not either do or participate in as my Mother ran Manpower and there was always employment.

Most gratifying job----feeding folks for no money!

Worst job---feeding folks for money!

Current job---I just don't know!!!!

Can't really think of any jobs that I'd be too embarrassed to do.....BUT some of those dirtiest jobs on TV might be close to the red line. When Mike Rowe almost pukes so do I!!

I grew up a plumbers son, and had plenty jobs that were dirtier. The only thing I can think of is a defense attorney (which many of my good friends are). There aren't enough innocent people in the world for any of them to make a dime.

My step-father was a roofer who worked on remodels and some new construction.

I chased more lines in attics, crawl spaces etc. than I care to recall. To this day, the damp old smell dirt has in crawl spaces brings back memories of crawling around in tight crawl spaces where a couple times I got stuck. Albeit for just a short time. For a kid who was mildly claustrophobic, it wasn't fun.

Newsman for any tv station or newspaper 😖

I guess it depends on how hungry a person is.

Agree. There are some things against my morals that I haven't done even when hungry.

I have refused to de claw cats! De bark dogs, and predispose the public to food animal antibiotic residues. Pinching anal sacs is also not n my list of to do items.

Been a plumber almost 35 yrs,while I don't do many schit calls,I think I've made an honest living for my family.That being said,I don't think it's for everybody.
And some days it REALLY sucks......

About 3-4 days a year I wonder why in the hell am I doing this.......

Only 3-4 ?

Actually about 3-4 times a day but who's counting........grin

Any job that required me to check my integrity at the door.

I've never understood how so many can leave their integrity behind when it comes to money.

I've never understood how a few can leave their integrity behind when they get on the internet.

Victims never understand much, except how to be victims.
