Jobs you are glad you don’t have to do

Contrary to the dream jobs thread, what jobs are you glad you don’t have to do?
A few of mine...
Police officer - I wouldn’t want to take all the nonsense/abuse from the public and not be allowed to retaliate. I have a lot of respect for those in the force
Squaddie - I would have liked to join the army as a pilot but have respect for the “basic” squaddies who I think are undervalued
Lorry driver - they are some of the best drivers on the road and do a crucial job but I couldn’t manoeuvre a lorry round tight streets and country lanes!!!
Over to you...

@woodbine good one and I agree. I wouldn’t want to be any politician as they receive so much abuse and like you say they can’t seem to do anything right by certain moaners

I would also refuse on principle to be plonked into some stupidly low paid "disability specific" position where all the "clients" as they're called are on benefits and therefore can't earn much without severe sanctions.
I also don't want to work in a call centre, according to a survey several years ago it's reported that most people like a Yorkshire accent on the Business end of a call centre, but most of the big companies here have outsourced their call centres to India, where compared to here the pay is considerably lower so the staff work longer hours than us Brits are allowed to.
Also, even if I drove, and I don't, I wouldn't want to be a Trucker or work for a Haulage company, too many hours on the road.
Politician. or even local Councillor, I'd never get elected because nobody would vote for me on a plaform of disability rights, but that's beside the point, I could never sit in the House of Commons listening to the likes of Boris Johnson talking out of his trousers all day lol.
Also, I couldn't be a doctor or social worker. They do an incredible job and I really do respect them however for me the constant pressure and responsibility would be too much.
I don't think I could work as a mortician either as I'd find it too upsetting
