      assist or partake in the murdering

      Militaries outside of America do a LOT of non-murderous jobs. Sandbag the planet? Search and Recovery? Coordinating aid on the ground? When you’re a force that happens to be armed, it’s a different job. But they still need boots and belts and brass and buttons and berets and boomsticks.

      Me ex-wife worked 100% in surgery. She used to laugh that she never had to talk to the fuckers. She was so clinical about it that she could tell me about a case and had no idea if it was a man or woman, black or white, nothing, just body parts.

    There are plenty of jobs I’d be terrible at regardless of what they pay.

    If it’s an actual job and not just something made up to be arbitrarily horrible I’d probably give anything a try if you pay 10x my current pay.

      I worked in marketing. Though…

      • I create materials/tools to help patients with chronic diseases stay adherent to medication while building a better lifestyle
      • I made materials to convince health insurance companies to cover medications

      So, it’s not all bad. I moved on to hospital records analysis to identify things that would kill people, and now work in protocols and systems that help preserve the privacy of user data (one of them even uses ActivityPub).

      I’ve been pretty fortunate in the jobs I’ve been able to find.

    Retail. Done it for 4 years and got treated like absolute shit by customers, especially during the pandemic. I got told off a few times for speaking back to customers but I think now I’d probably struggle not to hit them. I’d be sacked very quickly

      But this seems like something that could be tolerated at the right price point. It’s a price point they would never pay, but your reason for working it isn’t a moral or ethical reason.

    probably dangerous ones, like right wingers in red country. like oil rigs, crab fishing,etc. of course the opportunities in those areas are lacking otherwise. and jobs not offering benefits, or referrals/LOR for for certain industries or fields. it probably depend your morals and your personality too.
