Edit: tell me this doesn’t sound stupid

There is only two types of jobs:

Doing something someone else doesn’t want to do

Or

Doing something a specific other person can’t do

The only thing I can think of that someone other than myself can’t do is piss my wife off to no end. Not really a job, tho.

    Not everyone is capable of doing every job. The tasks of a recptionist are far different than those of a roofer. Jobs like emergency services can be high stress positions, jobs like assembly work can be rather dull sometimes. Everyone and every job is different.

      You’re telling me a roofer could never learn to be a receptionist or receptionist could never learn to be a roofer.

      I’m telling you no one wants to work 40 hrs a week diving 200ft with an oxygen tank strapped to their back and a welding torch in their hand to make underwater repairs on an oil rig.

      Great, you want to weld. Great, you want scuba. You don’t want that fucking job, no one does.
