But then, what about the people who work to help trafficked children etc? I couldn't do it. And those who clean up after suicides, murders... or those who work with children who are sick and dying. But then there are also jobs that risk your life, or jobs that are isolating and lonely. Or jobs where you're being worked to the bone for nothing in return. I couldn't pick just one."

Just because you don't see them running down the street in firefights all day long, doesn't mean they don't do their job. In fact, if you don't see them they are doing a good job! Police in the UK is not perfect, but I'd rather have the UK police than the cops they have in thailand, mexico or guatemala... Be a little more thankful for how they keep you save. | |||

"We don`t have a big enough Army any more for any offensive action. our army is more like a militia due to it`s size after the defence cuts. The last offensive action by the UK was 20 years ago, everything after that has been peace keeping missions." Um, that is not true. UK is in the nato, and the nato has multiple hotspots in the world, were offensive wars are being undertaken. Somalia, Afghanistan, Kosovo ... Probably also soon upcoming gaza strip and ukraine. | |||

"Think some people have got the definition of "job" confused here... Imho any line of work that requires immense mental or physical strength (or both!), or where you witness trauma and suffering on a daily basis. Ooh or where there is great risk to yourself!" Of course those jobs are hard, but not all hard jobs are dangerous. | |||

"Somalia, British troops are there on a peacekeeping and security mission for the UN. Kosovo British troops are there for NATO/KFOR on a peacekeeping mission patrolling the border due to rising tensions in the area. Afghan, there`s no British presence, all troops were pulled out after 20 years." They were in afghanistan until 2014. And yeah, you can call it a peacekeeping mission but they are securing the areas and fight insurgence. They do roll out and actively look for targets, too. Or well, used to. It's part of keeping the peace. That is a war. I mean the vietnam war was the same type of war: Train the local troops and go on missions against the rebels for peace keeping. Brits, aussies and americans "supported" the south in Vietnam the same way they were supporting the troops in Afghanistan. And I think we all agree, that vietnam was a war. Peacekeeping is just a new word for war. Really is. It's just not a territorial war for the supporting nations, as they are not interested in conquest. | |||

My job was to pull the cut out rubber from these holes with tweezers. Also mentally wise it definitely depends on the people you work with. The mr " I worked agency for some time, I did countless jobs like that. That's just normal. Every job is challenging in its own way really. But I wouldn't class any of this as the hardest. It's just mindnumbing and uncomfortable. But if you do a job long enough, you just turn off your brain and work on full auto while you think about stuff. It's therapeutic in a way, once you hit your zone. I worked all sorts of warehouses and construction site jobs, through all sorts of factory work. One job was me loading and unloading lorries all day long, without a break because "we don't know if you're working 8 or 11 hours today, and you are only legally entitled to a break from 9 hours onwards". And if there were no lorries and you had to sit down and wait, they deducted it from your time. Parcels were all shapes and sizes and weights, and could weigh up to 50 kilos. Loading lorries you were supposed to be 2 people per lorry, often worked 2 lorries alone though... Learn how to throw the parcels right, because if you load the lorries you gotta play tetris and you don't have time to walk in with every parcel from the band, you have to be quicker than they come, or the whole system comes to a stop and they yell at you. I remember having to load lorries full of car tyres with rims, which weigh like 30 kilos each, up to 2,50 high, and they come down a slope and crash into the break bar with enormous speeds sometimes. You have like 10 seconds per tyre, too. And I don't take smoke breaks, so I never got a break, smokers would just dart of every half hours for 20 minute breaks at a time... Because tyres are the only thing were you have 2 loaders per one lorry, otherwise it's impossible. Yet, as I mention, they still fuck off. And if you're so feisty to take a break to have lunch, they come and annoy you every 5 minutes, tapping their watch, saying they need you. There were no official break times... A day could be 6 hours, a day could be 12 hours. You have no idea of what's coming and WHEN. Some drivers are late and then you're fucked. At some point, when there was little work, you had everyone unload one lorry at the same time, and you spread the parcels over the bands that are there, so you kinda throw the parcels so that they don't break but also don't slide off (there were no siderails on those bands) and with the barcode up so the scanner can scan it properly. That was my very first job and I thoughtt it was normal, because i had no other references lmao. I worked there maybe a year or so and then went on in my professional life to do other things. Years later I picked up agency work, and I realised: No other job is even remotely as hard as that one. Heavy parcels, very fast and physically demanding work, you also need a lot of skill to handle the parcels right (or your wall of parcels collapses on you or you break parcels or something else) and virtually no breaks, and everyone is just bossing you around like you're a sla ve. | |||

"Working on the deck of an aircraft carrier. Why is that particularly hard?" Rotor and engine wash. Landing on an moving carrier in rolling seas, or at night, Fast moving and aircraft. A snippet from an article, The deck is a busy place, full of dangerous things — like bombs, bullets and fuel. In 1967 a Zuni rocket on a F-4 Phantom misfired and started a massive fire onboard USS Forestall. The fire on the deck burned for hours and cost the lives of 134 crewmembers. Metals like magnesium and phosphorus used in munitions can combust causing Delta-class fires. The metals burn at thousands of degrees and are very difficult to put out. More dangerous but hard work also. | |||

" I think we can acknowledge that many jobs are hard without dismissing each other. I mean sure, the quadruple amputee with untreated AIDS who's a dissident in North Korea has a hard life, but he has so many benefits compared to (someone who has it worse), he should just be happy with his life, ungrateful git.

One point is if king Charles had forgone a extra bank holiday for his coronation we could have given a one year 4 percent bonus to all of the nhs staff.

"I have worked in retail, with kids, in kitchens, in telesales, and I have worked in extremely labour-intensive jobs. When my Son was born and later developed severe disabilities, I had to give up work to become a full-time Parent Carer. Nothing I have ever done has been as hard, as stressful, as demanding nor as exhausting as what I do now. Carers (especially unpaid) are absolute fucking Saints! x" What labour intense jobs did you work in? | |||
