I’d like to think jobs are more than clever, sometimes stupid, ways to make money. I’d like to think jobs give us purpose, something to do to make a little mark in the world. Since university graduation (and I did graduate twice), I have taken three jobs and granted I do not get fired, I have no plans to change the current one I have anytime soon.
I am the first to admit I cannot do a lot of things – I only do a little and fortunately, the little I can do is decent enough to keep me standing. I’m technically retarded and I hate uniform. Restrictions do not go well with me and my patience and attention span are awfully low. I’m not in the business of pleasing others just for the sake of it. So you can imagine how tricky it is to find the right job for me. I think I can be pretty good in the right place though, after all arrogance has to be earned. 😉
Having said that, I also have a good idea of jobs that will never work. I don’t have a complete idea of jobs that will work for me but as far as the don’t-even-think-about-it jobs are concerned, I think the list is pretty made up.
10 Jobs You’d Never See Me Do
1. CPA
2. Banker
3. Bus Driver
4. Nude Model
5. Child Care Provider
6. Butcher
7. Coal Miner
8. Singer
9. Call Center Agent
10. Mathematician
Actually, I can think of more to add to the list but let us keep it here at this moment. If you are doing any on the list, no offense and I pretty much admire you for what you do. I won’t manage even to save my life. 🙄

I think I wouldn’t have a problem with being relegated to numbers if only I pursued a course that has to do with them, but alas, the calling to write was what I chose and I am still unsure if I should regret this decision or not. hehehe.
being around children is also something that’s second nature to me. 🙂 I can sing a little having had a few months stint with UPSA in college and one sem attending voice lessons in Abelardo Hall but I can’t see myself making this a career.
Apart from these, I pretty much agree with you. 🙂
numbers really hate me. and i don’t understand math having so many problems. i have my own problems to deal with, thank you very much 😆 kids are out of my comfort zone, i just don’t know. they will be better without me for sure. wow, you can sing! cool.
hahaa! made me lol when I read math having so many problems. Yeah, I agree. it’s too much of a problem-maker, I don’t know why anybody would want to be associated with it. ahahaha!
my husband is a much better singer than me. Mostly, I just sing in videokes and inside the bathroom now. haha! I used to teach a choir, too, but when I got married I had to give it up. I’m still a member of our company choir but I seldom sing with them now. Priorities have changed, I guess. 😀
oh, I think the most I can’t be is a call-center agent as I don’t think I would be able to hold my temper if someone I don’t know starts shouting invectives at me. I really admire call center agents because they’re not just patient. I’d call them magnanimous, even.
my man is good with math, so at least that is an insurance for future kids to not suck at it as much as i do. idk really. wow, that’s cool! my sisters sing so well, and they play guitar. do you play any instrument? what i don’t like about the call center bit is the odd time of work and yes, dealing with impossible people who think they own your soul.
Nude Model +1, kung may K why not. hehehe. basta walang bastusan.
Number 5 lang ang hindi ko kayang gawin. Mahilig ako sa anak pero hindi sa ibang bata.
wow, you’re amazing. 😯
If I had the body for it, I would totally love being a nude model. I haven’t given up on becoming a singer too. Pero yung Child Care provider, yan. Yan ang never kong gagawin. I hate kids. Lalo na pag di cute.
kids are challenging and i don’t think i can match their energy. i can’t be a nude model because i won’t be able to sit still for long. it just won’t happen.
BUT YOU’RE A CAT!
you know, your comment reminded me of a joke about the creation. when god created the monkey, fish, dog, rabbit, and all, he was pleased. then he made the cat and when he saw how the cat behaved, god shrugged and said, “well, you can’t win them all.” 😀
kelangan profession ko una sa list ng ayaw mo? hahahahahah
wag ka na umiyak, read my comment exchange with dorm boy.

that’s exactly what i am doing right now. 😀 do you want to know why i can’t be a nude model?

because my attention span is rather short and i can’t sit still for long. gian carlo, some of your comments go to my spam folder, idk why.
Hi Princess!!!!
You got a serious (serious daw oh) list there hihihihi
Naku yayayain pa naman kitang magvideoke… huhuhu
Paano na yan? 🙂
ikaw ang kakanta and i’ll be your audience 😉
hehehe…may tagapaghanda ng napakasarap na food habang sinisira ko ang mundo sa aking pag-awit 🙂
Hi there Prinsesa!!!!
i’d still clap, don’t worry 😉
hihihi…thanks 🙂
Silip ka sa aking pahina… may mga bagong luto. palagay ko yan ang aking kayang gawin ng mas kaunting ayos hahahhaah
love how you likened it to food, well, it’s pretty tasty!
hihihi you are brightening my day, thank you! 🙂
very glad to do so 🙂
sa listahan mo… pinaka-possible sa akin ay no. 8. pero yung pang instrumental lang ha. hehehe
ako rin ata maraming di kayang gawin na trabaho. bukod sa may kinalaman sa math, pari na rin yong may kinalaman sa pagluluto at pagsusukat. huhuhuhu
i like baking, but i still have to learn cooking. math is a hopeless case though. i don’t think i can do anything underwater too because i can’t swim.
so pwede ka palang dancer.. kasi singer lang ang nilagay mo jan… dance fever!!
hindi yung dancer nasa extended version ng list yun 😉
ahhhh… kala ko pa naman eh disco diva ang beauty mo.. ehehehehe
oh no, like i told you, i can only do very few things and unfortunately it does not include dancing. siguro ikaw dance diva ka!
naku naku naku… kung dati proud ako sa video ko na nagsasayaw ako, pero parang gusto ko ng burahin sa you tube.. at hindi ko sinabing may video akong nagsasayaw.. erase!!!
send me the link! send me the link! 😆
wag mo sana akong ikahiya… huhuhu
you got some serious moves there! 😀
talagang serious eh no.. seriously insane!! hindi pa ako lasing niyan.. what more kung nakainom pa ako.. huhuhu
but you got to love someone who can have a laugh at themselves. 🙂
sabagay.. hindi ko ba alam kung bakit ako napunta sa linya na ito.. kahit seryoso na ang pinaguusapan, pinagtatawanan pa rin ako… kaya pinanindigan ko na… salamat uli pm.. nakakataba ka ng puso talaga…
it’s a great trait – keep it!
Outch nauna pa ang pagiging CPA… lols!
Outch again, i remember my banking days! hahaha!
nako tinaman ng kidlat twice! it has nothing to do with the job but everything to do with me. i’m stupid so i cannot do both. my travel buddy and dearest friend though is a CPA and he helps keep me sane a lot.
Yup CPA pipol keep others sane! hahaha!
i can’t argue with that, pat. 🙂
I hate Math! And I’m never good at it. I always use the calculator! ;p
ako din, kahit mga simple lang. parang blanko agad ang isip ko, ewan ko ba. epic fail. 😯
i think i can be a bus driver! haha! sabi ng mga friends ko, pag wala na daw ako talaga makuha na trabaho, mag taxi/bus driver na lang daw ako. tutal talent ko daw magdrive! haha!
ako siguro, di ako pwede sa work that has to do with math! haha!
buti ka pag kg may alternative job ka 😆 i can’t do math either. it needs to grow up and solve its own problems.
