While I've never it for money, I would also suck as a mud and tape guy.  It seems like it would be so easy but I am not good at it.

Anything that requires lying, not laughing at things, & not getting misty eyed after hearing sad or inspiring stories.   I also don't think I could be in a position that would require firing people that are actually good employees/people but budgets just need to get cut or the company has decided to outsource etc.

Yeah, it's a huge pain in the ass. I always think I have it smooth but it's not.

it is a severely under-appreciated art form.  I'm terrible at it.  I'm patient, I'm very craftsman-ish, I take great care in detailed work, but I'm horribly terrible at that crap.  Pretty much the reason why I don't buy DIY fixer-uppers anymore.  Also, gyp. ceilings are of the devil.

doctor- too much gross crap, can't handle it, would throw up all day/every day - lose bunch of weight end up looking like stunted


dancer - think it's stupid, can't act that dumb

construction worker on skyscraper-  terrible fear of heights

lawn guy-  hate it when it's really hot outside



other than those, i'm pretty confident that i'd excel at every other profession in the entire world.



All of these apply to me. I'll throw in construction worker in general. I love doing stuff in my own house, but doing one thing like drywall, plumbing, fireproofing, etc. all your life just has to suck ass.

I actually got to be decent at it. Problem is, I have too high of standards and I'm not good enough for them. Surprisingly, my wife is great at it. So she now patches all the holes.

Agreed.  How boring would it be to just drive that train all day. 
yup.  no steering wheel, no gas pedal.  they don't even control the switch thing that decides what way you go at the V's in the track.   :zzz: all day.  would be a great bbs'n job. 

Have a good friend that does this.  He says it's awesome.  He's not a K-State guy, but he would enjoy hanging out with Curtis Kelly.   :bigtoke:

Sports officiating? For some reason, I think I'd make a terrible basketball ref. But I would dominate behind the plate like Leslie Nielson.
