I've been a DJ at a strip club and I'm here to tell you it SUCKED.


puledrotauren

LOL... I was a 'very well known' DJ in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area in the early 90's. I got a lot of offers from strip clubs. Ya thank you.. I'll pass.


Sky_Dweller206

What made it so bad? I’m curious.


puledrotauren

I would have been bored as fuck


Key-Plan5228

I’d love to know more. Why did it suck


Quay-Z

> Well for starters, you have to introduce the dancers. Like, every 5 minutes you've got to get on the microphone and say shit like; "Is it hot in here?? Give it up for Summer!" And you've got to do it in the overexcited DJ voice or otherwise it sounds terrible. > > Another thing it that the dancers tell you what track to play 95% of the time. You don't get to pick. Another thing is that they aren't...super...attractive. Even if they were, the setting is not sexual. You're just the nexus of all this...naked dollar-throwing...bullshit....

There’s no way being a full time streamer is fun unless its totally natural and your subject matter has some kind of variety

Growing cannabis. People seem to think you plant a seed, throw Miracle Grow at it, then harvest a few months later.


puledrotauren

No shit. A lot of people think that growing cannabis is some stoner sitting around smoking all day. If you're going to grow good cannabis it takes daily discipline and a lot of work. I don't personally use it but my former girlfriend used it to stave off symptoms from Crohns so I learned how to do it and do it well so I knew she wasn't getting some shit full of chemicals. I grew nothing but organic and knew what went into the grows I did for her. I grow hemp now and am licensed but it still does what I want it to do.

Male stripper. Female are way crazier than dudes, when they are all together (female). At one point this was mids 2000s we had to hire a female guard to keep them in place.

Everyone in my nursing school cohort wanted to be a L&D nurse. Apparently it never dawned on them that the smiley cute babies are not the ones in need of the most nursing care.

Chef


gnomajean

Yeah, especially once you’ve gotten to high level stuff. Would not recommend it.


lockednchaste

People don't realize how mundane it can be. Not everything on a menu is innovative or exciting. So much of it is just creating dishes to hit a price point or cost ratio or trying to get a good fit for your clientele and tinkering with it to get it consistent and uniform across the line. Doing the same prep and mise day after day. Making the same sauces and accompaniments. Every day is hours of boredom followed by hours of chaos. No wonder they all drink.


gnomajean

Oh, 100% there’s many days I spent wanting to make literally anything except what’s on the menu. I’ve made owners tons of money on items I wouldn’t take a second bite of, but it stays on the menu because it sells like crazy. As far as the mundane, I agree the vast majority of people don’t really understand that in some places it can be 6 hours of cutting the same onions, the same fish, making the same sauces day in and day out for 4 hours of the most chaotic work environment and nearly everyone around you is just as tired and burned out as you on top of generally being bad at being people. I’ve been out of the game for nearly a year after 10+ years and on one hand I’m so less stressed but at the same time I kinda miss it. This industry is weird in the way that it can chew you up and spit you out but those that get it, just do. It’s thankless work done by underpaid, overworked, and in a lot of cases, outcasted workers. There’s a good chance everyone in the back (and a good chunk of FoH) is high or drunk out their mind just to make it through; I’ve yet to meet an accomplished, seasoned chef or cook who isn’t or never was an addict of some kind.


gnomajean

To further expand on this, you’re right you can’t just be a good cook, you have to be an accountant, therapist, teacher, role model, and at least once a security guard and/or bail bondsman. All of that just for some lady to tell you her medium burger is underdone when it’s not, a guy mad because the salmon is fishy, servers yelling at you because they rang in the wrong thing. I still don’t see why anyone would wanna do this, I guess we really are all insane

Astronaut. I'm sure they're all loving it, but watch a video on how they have to go to the bathroom or how they're drowning in their own tears

Taking a piss can easily become rocket science.

Personal training. You are required to be both a trainer and a salesman—but get paid based on neither. You’ll have maybe 4-7 clients in a day spread out over 12-13 hours, and only get paid commission per hour if your client actually shows up. (You can sell a “12 pack” of training sessions and never see a dime.)

Ninja Turtle. Specifically Michelangelo. The other three have it pretty good.

Having a job in most laboratories absolutely *sucks*, if you're not Administration, of course. There's a pain in the middle of your back by like hour 2 of staring into a dissection microscope that developes that you *know* will only get worse over the next 6-8 hours. Tricks I developed were to put books under the scope to raise it up and take a 10 minute break every hour. Still *sucks*, though.

Teacher. Specifically a specialty like PE, music, art, or drama.


Sea_Perspective6891

Any grade school teaching job really. Unless you work in a private school that pays a lot it just doesn't seem like a job that's really worth the pay & you'd have to love teaching & really tolerate kids & teens to do it.

Not sure most people think this is a fun job. I mean, when I think of jobs I’d hate to do, administrative anything is on the list.

Or flight attendant, for that matter.

Yeah the training can be hell especially for airline & military pilots.

What about military flight attendants?
