Re: What job could you NOT do?
I've done a ton of repetetive stuff as temp jobs. You can actually make it interesting for a while if you try to figure out the most efficient way to do everything and/or try to set records then break them.
Worst one was putting popcorn into a box. You were limited by the speed of the line so there was really no way to do it faster or slower. Oh yeah, also 12-hour shifts. Ugh. Also the frequency makes a difference. If it's something that happens every few seconds you can kind of zone out and meditate. Or if it takes 15 minutes/a half an hour, then you only have to do so many before it's time to go home. It's something that takes a minute or so that really sucks.

The attendants are ALWAYS smiling and cheerful, even when they are picking up garbage or someone has a complaint. Of course, I've only been on Southwest, which is notorious for hiring "attitudes" rather than experience... another reason why they are so profitable compared to the rest of the industry. That said, there's no way I can be a Southwest worker... or a surgeon/dentist/anything medical really.

Re: What job could you NOT do?
Flight Attendants have gotten a lot better since the 90s/9-11. I think in the 90s you had a lot of burned out old lifers that still remembered the glory days of the 60s/70s, when flying was still fun and exciting for many. The flight attendants now seem to be in sort of a conscious reaction against that ugly period. And with all the stuff lately, many of them are just happy to still have a job. Also 9-11 seems to have really sobered everyone up during airline travel. To where customers don't bitch so much about trivial things anymore, and maybe they view flight attendants more as potential life savers than annoying waitresses.

Assembly line, or any repetitive factory work. I've tried and quit within days. [/ QUOTE ] I last worked for an ASIC manufacturer in 1999, so I don't know if this still exists, but we got a tour through the back-end sort/assembly/test area, and I was surprised that the people doing "visual inspect" hadn't snapped and started shooting yet. You pretty much get chips in a clear plastic sleeve and have to determine if the pins are straight to within a certain tolerance (like .5 mm or something.) "If you keep doing that, you'll go blind..."
