41,000 as a phsychic is not paying well and neither is 49 as an embalmer everything, else is pretty good.

Good thread wc. Thanks. I like the idea of working in a submarine.

i couldn't do that. in fact it freaked me out. leo moon needs sunshine!click to expand
i have a water moon, i should feel at home under da sea, but i wouldnt to it either. I'm sure they all look pasty with lack of sunshine.

I would do it. Pack multivitamins, books, mp3 and my own emergency kit.
it sounds adventurous, but surely it gets tiring after a while.
I heard that you can also work as a bank breaker to test new security systems. That sounds intriguing to me & I'd do that too.

Embalmer sounds like a decent career.
Good job security - people are always dying.
And hey, if you make some silly mistake how much damage can you do? the person is dead already.

Absolutely. No money in being a good person and generally trying to make the world a better place.
A lifetime of nasty pluto transits has (finally) taught me that making money is all that matters.
I am interested in how much the UNethical hackers make.

Man I would have done dog food tasting for free when I was a kid. I was always stealing my dog's food.
eww lol. When I used to waitress, my boss at the restaurant had a poodle that she used to let lick her mouth & that was gross. I like pets, but dont love them like that.

hahaha. Phv, what does it mean when guy do that, bite bottom lip? Licking their own lips (ll cool j like) when conversating? One that annoys me most is when they hold your hand & scratches it(the palm) with the index finger. Wtf? I've noticed that most guys like to do that & i find it irritating lol.

Bites bottom lip = meth addict
Licking lips at you = meth addict
Licking lips constantly = meth addict and/or needs some lip moistener
Scratches palm of hands = iv drug user

Bite bottom lip = Lusting you
Licking lips at you = Lusting you
Licking lips constantly = Gay or needs some lip moistener
Scratches the palm of your hands = *Shruggs*
Just my opinion though.click to expand
lol at gay or needs moistener. Do guys also use lip balms? I'd find it weird to see a guy with shiny lips. The palm thing must be an African thing then, it is so annoying that i hope they move on with the rest of the world & drop it.
Lmao @ RNAP
You know, there are some things i do not wanna see men do & applying a lip balm infront of me would be one of them. When I was dating the scorpio, he did something that made me a little disinterested in him after watching him do it. He came out of the shower & applied nivea for men infront of me, then he bent down to do his legs...that looked so unattractive to me for some reason & I left the room.
Posted by PotHeadVirgo22
bwahahahahahah! Right? Right? I feel you. That should be the good thing about being male. Shower, brush teeth, get dressed, pack yah strap, hit da streets. ***Simple***
i've noticed that too, most men dont care for body lotions & their skin still look okay. I'm also used to men who dont use skin moisturizers, that's why he looked gay when he did that.
LOL

oh, come on salon hair washer..its not that weird lol.
Glassblower is an interesting one. Talking of glass, those who make glass artificial eyes also made a list & so did a pet detective lol. Apparently, when your pet is lost you call one of them to track it for you. Weird
Ooh & a hair boiler made a list too. They collect the donated human hair and boil it to make human hair extensions.
Being a juror deserves it too in my opinion, its a very strange line of work. And so does being a hooker, you get paid for things that are easily accessable- easy + dumb.

To be fair, being a sommelier isn't "just to match up wines and food". It does require quite a lot of knowledge as well as the physical ability to notice the subtle differences.
Also, finding vulnerabilities in computer systems isn't exactly a small thing. It requires both creativity and technical knowledge, which can be quite rare as both sides of the brain are needed extensively.
you're right, but that's basically what it is. Eg. being a cop doesnt = only arresting people, there's a lot that goes into it just like any other job, but arresting people is what they do.
Nem, I would love to be a mortician too if I wasnt too scared. It sounds VERY interesting. When I was still in school a friend's uncle was one & he'd tell stories about how they'd have to glue the eyes and lips to keep them closed for open casket funeral and stuff.

lol - why would a dead person scare you? 😄 fear the relatives if anything!!!
yes, but what you described are gory but practical aspects of dealing with a corpse; sometimes necessary depending on the state of the body etc.
my approach to this profession would be a bit different. i suppose i'm looking for answers, like "where is this person gone to?"
but i also have a strong stomach 😛 so i'm not easily fazed.click to expand
your approach is deep, i like it 🙂 My stomach is strong too, but there's something creepy about a dead body. I remember years ago in East London, not really sure how old I was then..me & my friends were playing and this dog came into the yard dragging something. We thought it was a doll, but it was a baby, a real baby. A young girl at our street hid a pregnancy from her parents, gave birth & wrapped the body in a plastic and threw it in the outside dustin..the dogs rummaged & found it. That picture never left my mind, so dead people scare me.
Lol @ sand
Nem, I kow Gonubie well & lol @ you hating East London..that's my hometown.
Ninja, this kind of thing happens here ALL the time. There was a story like that just a few wks ago. They've found babies logged in toilet pipes after the mother attempted to flush it away, etc. Its nothing new. They even opened up a place called, window of hope, for that purpose. You just drop in your unwanted baby at the window, anonimously..there's always people waiting for the deliveries. No sure what happens to the mothers who're caught thou, the ones who commit crimes. About a year or so back, this girl was crying on tv saying her newborn was stolen at home while she was hanging clothes outside. After much interrogation she cracked & pointed the police to a shallow grave at the back of the house. Some say she smothered it & some reports say she crushed the baby's head with an old fashioned stove iron. We are used to hearing such gory things every other week or so.

This may sound really weird, but the reason I love South Africa is that it's like all aspects of human life in one place. There's so much beauty and so much horrid stuff. If you want the beauty, you have to accept the ugly stuff as well, and when you do that, you have to accept what being a human is like.
this statement is so true

sad, but true.
what about birth control in SA? is it affordable? the men in the south african society are a huge problem. the weight is carried by african mamas. respect for them and still, they are treated like scum.
is it true, that some men think that having sex with a virgin will cure aids? hence all the child rapes etc.?click to expand
true again. Birth control is free

WC, maybe i hated gonubie so much because of the terrible school uniform colour. yikes. electric blue mixed with yellow.....just really off for me. but i was mainly homesick for port elizabeth - did not want to diss your hometown!

😢 very sad WC. I know about images that can't leave your mind.
i've seen worse, but this one is the only one i saw up close & thats why I cant erase it. No wonder I'm screwed up lol. Oh well
Posted by ninjafish
That's so, so sad WC 😢 The world can be such a brutal place. I don't know what to think about any of it, but I commend those who take the babies when their mothers can't or won't look after them. I don't want to judge a lot of those women too harshly because some of their circumstances must be pretty dire... But geez, those poor babies. Having to die because you're an inconvenience. It's just heartbreaking.
It is heartbreaking, but there comes a point where you get used to it all & no longer feel anything...thats where my country is at the moment. Or maybe since way back. The people are numb, even cold hearted. The police are lazy, so criminals face mob justice. You get "necklaced".
