Literally what kept me from going into medicine
Just study non-poop medicine instead

Right after Project Veritas got subpoenaed by Congress back in, I think, 2015 or 2016, they offered me a well paid position as an interface designer for the website. I had been unemployed for years by that point, and I was extremely desperate for work. I never applied for the job, and I don’t know how on earth they got my my résumé.
Suffice it to say, I told them to go fuck themselves.
if you uploaded on places like INDEED, or another job site, they probably got it from a 3rd party recruiter,.

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.

"By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing...kill yourself" --Bill Hicks
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.

My coworker left our job because a place offered him a pay raise that was like half his current salary.
He came back - the job was so terrible he couldn't stay there. Not just the actual work, but the people.
I try to avoid working anyplace evil, so banks, oil companies, etc. and there are environments I can't be productive in - government, healthcare, anyplace very structured and bureaucratic. I guess if the pay and position are secured, and I can handle my work however I want without losing them, then I would not do anything that would kill me or others either directly or through incompetence (underwater welder, race car driver, assassin, surgeon), would probably cave on banks and other evil orgs, since I might be able to try to change them from the inside.

There are pipeline and mining jobs near me that would leverage my degree and skills but I don’t even entertain applying, I would hate it there doing stuff I feel is wrong.

Anything that requires me to exert force with my hands repetitively for long periods, like teasing or twisting. I've done it while fixing things around the house, and I'm damn sure I'd get carpal tunnel very quickly. But typing and moving the mouse all day, every day is fine & dandy!

"Look, I've worked with other vulture companies to convince them to get better PR by not being absolute soul-rotting evil all the time!" is not the flex you think it is, R.E. insurance compainies.

ICE agent.
Same. Although mainly because I don't have the cool maintain my cover while undermining the organization from within.

Commercial fisherman
Deep-sea diver

Anything public facing or anything that has me carrying around a gun. Both are absolute no-gos in my mind.

Prison guard.
You can’t leave work during your shift, you’re in prison.Prostitution.
My apologies if this subject is taboo. However, it is the oldest profession in the world and stood the test of time. I have a vivid imagination and I’m having trouble imagining what would happen if I’m just not attracted or aroused.I am against the prison industrial complex but consensual relations between adults are just fine. I’m not sure I could do it but I’d try.

That's who invented the Internet.
I work for a Contractor who contracts to Government, including Healthcare. The job is meh, but the people are absolutely awesome. The structure is actually a huge benefit, and it makes all the dotcoms' seat-of-the-pants I.T stand out so much more. There's no power-play to prevent updating software - for example - just because "Doug knows the CEO and he doesn't want to" because Dougie's written objection wouldn't pass scrutiny -- and, at most, Doug would get an extension to follow a set plan with milestones to get to that update anyway. But there are many examples where common dotcom slackery dies under review.
There are obvious and well-repeated problems with the overly-structured setup, but they're different from the ones that bother me, and erring on the side of safety and most-benefit is what annoys people ("why can't we have containers and supply-chain exploits like everyone elssssse") the most.

Anything requiring me to travel to the US
travel to the US
They round up 12 people a month from New Zealand. NEW ZEALAND! Anyone hating on the nicest country on the planet really has mental issues they need to get solved.

Debt collector
My wife works in Accounts Receivable, and now manages a team who talks nicely to people about paying that debt over others, so their essential products arrive on time. She's an absolute sweetie and I don't know how she does it, but she's excelled for a decade at it now.

any military or military complex job. i refuse to assist or partake in the murdering of humans.
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.
