Sewer cleaner

I'm very grateful for the people who choose to do these as professions. I think they are very brave!

| | Re: Appalling professions | Quote: | |  | | | - Telemarketer (what an ungrateful job) | | | | | Especially the ones at the wonderful expat financial services companies.
When I was 16 one of my first jobs was telemarketing and I was so excited... then I was given a phone, a script, and a phone book and told to start calling.
What???!!!???
I didn't even make one call, got up and left.
And to this day I still enjoy cutting them off with a "no thank you" and hanging up while they're still talking.

Story time.
One of my friends (female) worked for the "Ministerio Publico" (Sort of like DA's office). They ended up catching a ring of "producers" of this material. She said the quantity was soo much, there was no way to watch it all. So what do they do? They put on a call on the police band for "porn watcher" (not specifing the type) volunteer... around 20 showed up. 3 of them decided to quit afterwards. So yes, possibly worst job ever. |
