Earlier this week, I posted the 10 Jobs I’d Consider Taking Now that I Don’t Work at a Church. I thought it might be helpful for you to also see the jobs that I would never consider taking no matter how much you paid me. With that, here are the:
10 Jobs that I Will Never Take
- Dentist
- Wal-Mart greeter
- Yard boy
- Proctologist
- Country music singer
- Personal trainer
- Missionary to Nebraska
- Cliff diver
- Clown
- NASCAR mechanic
Again, you can determine what this list says about who I am. Or, feel free to share your own list.
I’m feeling a calling to Nebraska for you! Never say never Tony! ha
During the 15 years I did student ministry I said I would never be a pastor. Here I am today almost five years into a church start as pastor! I’ll still read your blog when you’re living in Omaha. ;)
I will never again work in the hog industry. The autograph seekers…
Not a Walmart greeter…WHAT? Come on! You get to pass out happy face stickers to kids! Oh well, I think that you have to be 30 years older anyway!
If you visit Dallas, love to have you come and visit with our staff!
So from your list it’s safe to say that your uncomfortable with both holes…
Q. What’s scarier than a trip to the proctologist?
A. A trip to the clown proctologist.
ummmm…I’ve always heard NEVER say NEVER see you in Nebraska!:)
I’m going to agree with some of your commenters. The fact that you say “no” to Nebraska pretty much makes it a guarantee. I’m assuming it will be rural. It may include a clown ministry. The good news is that it probably won’t involve cliff diving.
Also, you won’t be a yard boy, but I see you are still open to pool boy. Interesting.
Funny, I was going to suggest to my senior pastor that we hire you for consulting: Seriously!
I now hesitate to send him your URL. Our church lies just north of Omaha Nebraska
Dental hygienist, love it; I don’t want to be the dentist either. Met a proctologist once (socially, thankfully). Asked him if he got tired of getting ribbed about his profession. He said, “No, I always say that I wanted to be a Dentist, but I couldn’t take the bad breath.
Agree with most of the rest….but the country singer. Would love for you to be open minded and listen to some of the amazing voices and lyrics of some of them….really, would change you mind…promise. : )
Lisa, re: proctologist
ROFL all over the place!!
Tony, we may be searching for a youth minster and can pay you less than you ever dreamed of. And we’re not in Nebraska.
i used to say “I could never work from home or be self-employed like my dad…”
Looking through you list makes me wonder how you survived living in South Carolina. You probably met someone from your list each day, except possibly 7 and 8.
My list looks similar. But my number 1 is Ab Model
