    Debt collection.

    Or anything related. I filled a gap between careers doing tech support for a local (Canadian) software company that made a database for collectors (primarily in the USA). Never again, the industry or ancillary to it.

      I worked with a debt collection agency from an IT perspective and dealt with what I believe to be the same company. It is an industry that I never want to support again if I can avoid it. I met some good people but it’s just an unhealthy work environment overall.

      I once took a job where we essentially repossessed trap houses from the inhabitants - even if they had once been legal tenants. I soon started feeling much better when neighbours cheered us on and brought cups of tea. I later discovered my boss was notorious in the industry for going after scum rather than debtors. That job might have been the closest I’ve ever got to public service. But as for everything else you say, I couldn’t agree more. Debt collection against individuals is a disgusting, exploitative and inherently corrupt business.

    Anything to do with health insurance in the USA. I don’t want blood on my hands through denying people necessary medical care.

    Beekeeping. I appreciate and respect the little guys, but I can’t overcome the panic when a loud buzzy thing with a knife on its ass comes near me.

      Australian native bees can’t sting, do a great job of pollinating, and make a little honey on the side. They’re very curious from experience with a swarm making a home on my water meter box, but not very scary.

      I never understood the point of lawyers. Their job is to literally throw off the court in the process of determining the truth and choosing punishment for crime. For everyone else this would be another crime called “obstruction of justice”, and yet for lawyers it’s their actual job that courts allow.

    Nothing. Give me a million dollars a day I’ll do any legal job there is. I’d retire after a day or seven depending on the job, but you could absolutely pay me enough to do any job.

      Hi there, I represent a pharmaceutical company that has made a new penis removal procedure using groundbreaking new technology that only requires one pair of cheap blunt scissors instead of the usual expensive medical equipment. They are looking for test candidates and you seem like a perfect fit!

    Anything related to plumbing or sewage.

    I already don’t like dealing with other people’s shit, I’d hate it if I had to do it literally.
