Make us preferred on Google

Finding the perfect job is a difficult, some might even say impossible task.

So, when people can't find a job that necessarily fills them with joy, they might find one that at least fills their bank account.

Making the fact that they aren't doing the work they dreamed they'd be doing their whole lives forgivable, as they can afford nice clothes and fancy vacations.

However, there are some jobs that some people will simply never do, no matter how much money they are offered.


Redditor syjfwbaobfwl was curious to hear which jobs people would never accept, no matter how high the salary offered was, leading them to ask:
"What is a job you would not do even if you were paid 150k a month?"

Safety First

"That's a hard question."

'Probably something to do with exposure to toxic chemicals in an uncontrolled environment."

"Anything that is an unavoidable and serious detriment to your health."

But Those Who Do, Are Heroes

"Child oncology."- PoorerBrightSun

Ethics First

"The kind of job that would make you knowingly screw or scam other people."

"I would never do that for any amount of money."

"I did have the opportunity once to benefit from something like that.'

"It was just an awful feeling, and my base instinct told me to GTFO out of there immediately haha."- Turbulent_Ad_4313

Everyone deserves to be paid a living wage.

At the same time, no one deserves to work a job that slowly sucks out their souls and makes them feel bad about themselves and the work they do.

If making over $1 million a year doesn't make you forget how unhappy you are at your place of work, it might be time to check the classifieds, or go back to grad school.

A Clip Of Robert Pattinson From 'The Odyssey' Is Going Viral—And The Memes Are Too Good

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey has taken over social media as people discuss the movie's best moments, Nolan's hatred of CGI, the unique soundtrack, and even people rediscovering classic literature.

But one of the funniest things to come out of all of the discourse around the film has to be people's discussion of Robert Pattinson's portrayal of Antinous, the foremost suitor of Anne Hathaway’s Penelope. Antinous was, at best, a cowardly bully of a character who had no nerve when it was time to prove himself.
