| Anything medical (dentist, doctor, nurse, etc)

Teacher, because I hate kids. Maybe I could be a professor though, because hopefully college aged kids wouldn't be such butt holes like hs kids usually are.
Writer/Journalist
Factory worker, because like half my family does this and it's hard work that gets paid jack squat. |

| karabear1 - pay is low; little room for advancement; you're teaching boring, elementary stuff (pretty much the same curriculums for the rest of your life); I'd rather be in a high impact discipline like engineering than teach kids. | |

| I'm interested in teaching, but I guess those complaints don't really apply since I want to teach college. | |

| christ, why is everyone so averse to medicine?
anyway:
9 to 5 office jobs
"blue collar jobs" -- i have worked a few jobs in the city that are pretty gritty, and it can best be defined as this: HARD WORK, monotony, and little reward. all in all, at the end of the day, i feel like killing myself. appreciate the people who do those types of jobs, seriously.
engineering
i need a fast-paced, thought provoking job. i like medicine, but i wonder if it would yield what i want. | |
