There are some jobs that I really would like to do.
One is radio dispatcher for the police or county. I tried to do it. Didn't make I believe the second interview. But a 911 gal or guy would be a tremendous responsibility. And with that something my computer and person-skills would match. I am a quick clicker, a good memory person with territories and streets and routes, and I believe a good listener. It's gotta be a huge burn-out job tho. Matter of fact, I KNOW it is. Research and the lady training us said the exact thing. But it is very noble.
Another job I have talked about is gas station attendant. Weird .. I know. This is that dude who works say on a scenic hill, in a place where there is traffic but not smog. His greasy shirt and rag in pocket are there 9-5 and his complacent helpful style is important too. Downsides are fumes, cancerous chemicals, grime, and somewhat of a what-to-do boredom when there is nothing to do. As well, this job is not visible very much in our Wild West. Most gas stations here in NM are self-pump, and the person is behind glass, in a booth. Not what I strive for.
One job I joke I would never choose is the lady or man that holds the slow/ stop sign at construction sites. That job looks mindless. Sure there is the SLOW or STOP command. That choice is based in part on what the other construction dudes communicate, and also some sense of common sense. But this job looks boring! As much as it may pay due to hazard value, and how gender-ok it is with both women and men doing it, I say no. Seeing the look on most worker's faces is pretty much why. They look sad. As if to say, "Is this it? Is this really LIVING?"
My last paragraph on this for the day is this--I also like car salesman. Between that and say, rental car counter person *who i have heard gets access to borrow the rental cars on occasion?* these are jobs I would be okay with. Sure, I am leery about the truth and the twisted tales these car people are reported to tell. That is not something I would be comfortable with. I believe that I can do that, be truthful and still be a car salesman. I think I like the flow of the job, quiet times and times of many customers. The rising to 'the show' and the presentation part are things that are thrilling to some degree. Overall the dress is nice casual. And there a person is to some degree, helping others. With helping others comes the rather instant gratification that a sale has been made, and then there is closure and happiness.
Can you see how a gas station attendant gets this happiness every day?!
peace
