Jobs Meant for Someone Else....

Watching Dr. G, the Medical Examiner, is very exciting yet creepy to watch. I'm just glad I don't have her job. I'd be scared someone would jump up and yell "boo," grab my hand, or move in some way to make me faint/throw up. Facing my reality, there are just some jobs other people, BESIDES ME, need. Top of the list: Medical Examiner.


"Classic Jennifer" would be worrying that I cut the heart out of someone that really wasn't dead, had a faint chance of coming back alive or somewhere in between. I would need to be there as a result from all the worrying, cause it'd probably kill me. Another reason I couldn't do this job is the SMELL...UGH~ Dr. G takes it all in stride, makes good money, and rightfully so. No one else wants her job.


Which brings me to the second job:
Mortician. These guys make a lot of money and will never have to worry about not having business, cause they offer a service everyone needs at one point or another. There again, how do they stand the smell? Is it like the perfume we wear? We get used to it and really forget it's on, until someone tells us how good it smells?


The last job that I would never have is
psychic/palm reader/etc. Do these people go to school for this? I don't want to know my future or anyone else's for that matter. No offense, but if they are so good at their job, how come none of them ever win the lottery? If I was really a psychic, I'd know all the numbers and work them to my advantage, honey. It kinda creeps me out that someone would know my future, besides God, cause what if He changed something about it? Reading my horoscope in the morning newspaper and opening a fortune cookie when eating Chinese are about as far as I go with people knowing what's going to happen.


Medical Examiner, Mortician, and Psychic: Three jobs that were meant for someone else besides me.

I agree with you these are not the type of jobs that I would enjoy either.
A mortition is a dead end job
You need luck to be a palm reader.
I would never cut it as a Medical Examiner LOL!

My husband is a paramedic and he's mentioned running for coroner in the future, which is about the creepiest job I can imagine, but being an elected official does have it perks.

I've watched Dr. G and I always wonder why she doesn't always wear a mask...? I think something is going to squirt out and get in her mouth- that is why I wouldn't be able to do that job-I'd be queezy all day. However it seems very interesting.

Omg.... capy, I enjoyed your comment as much as the post. I actually considered becoming a pathologist at one time.... More in the terms of medical research... Oh well...

There are some weird jobs out there. Well, I guess I find them weird, but someone has to do them, right?

Diane Scott said...

I'm sorry, I must have a morbid sense of humor because your statement about cutting out the heart of something who wasn't dead... well I laughed LOL! Honest, I really am a nice person LOLOLOL!

Agreed, some of these jobs would be tough to handle :)

i could never be a medical examiner. i have no desire to be around dead bodies. :)

I could not imagine working around dead people. I am sure that if you do the job for awhile you would get used to it. But, I do not think I would what to get used to being around dead people.

Neither of these professions would be my choice - First of all, I prefer to be around people that are still alive and telling the future is "thin ice" - so I'll just keep blogging, commenting and Squidooing... No need to wear a mask for that! :)

Sadie said...

I'm with you on that! Not to mention I get woozy at the site of blood...

Connie said...

I agree with all 3 and I'll add nurse, doctor, EMT, etc. because I can't stand blood or people getting sick. I'd be getting sick along with them. Yuck!

Samantha and Mr. Tigger said...

Nope!! Couldn't do any of them!! Blood makes Mom queasy and working with the dead would be kinda odd and tell someone what is going to happen to them! We'd rather let life unfold! Made some great pondering though! Thanks for sharing.
