OP asked for respectable jobs.

[nudemacusers]

Actuary; I actually find statistics interesting and would probably enjoy aspects of such a field, but I think it wouldn't be a good people/numbers balance.

Name a respectable job

Buzzfeed writer

 

[I'm a Puppy!]

Consultant

[tiesto]

Sales - there's no way I can constantly pretend to be someone's best friend and fake my composure for the whole work day, every day.

[Human Snorenado]

Any job other than the one I have. Pretty much anything where I had to physically interact with other people on a day to day basis would break me within 6 months.

[Shadow Mod]

Anything involving banking, especially if you're involved in the repossession of homes.

Also Social Services. Dealing with people who can't even get their shit together or be decent to their children would probably kill all of your soul in a week.

[WanderingWind]

Anything to do with manual labor. Not like, kitchen labor, but like warehouse or construction work. Totally respect the guys who do it, but when they say "Man, I could never work in an office" it's like they're speaking Esperanto. I'm like, bitch I have air conditioning. What.

whoops

[Rufus]

Anything marketing.

[Positive Touch]

I wish I could say anything involving politics, but all the blow and prostitutes and stealing prolly makes it pretty fun for a lot of shitheels

[Tribal]

All of them. How in the hell can a man enjoy being awakened at 7:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, then fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you make lots of money for somebody else and are asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so? Fuck that.

Bruh. Night shift. I wake up when I want anywhere from 4 to 6pm. I go into work at 11:30 and basically sit and watch Netflix for 9 hours then go home and go to sleep. I'm in fucking heaven right now.

The pharmacists I know are pretty damn chill and don't seem stressed.

[Atramental]

Any job that deals with math or bodily fluids.

[Steve Contra]

community manager

He said respectable.

[Kara]

Has manager in the name and no obvious retail connection, by default a large number of people will think it's respectable by virtue of that alone (and being ignorant of nu-economy jobs).

Ok but I prefer that dom mentality.  Thanks for asking though guys. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Was at a semi mixer/info session and had a good dialog going on with a dude before realizing I didn't know his actual position. Going with a blunt "who are you again" mid convo was not my smartest use of dialog.

Crossing one program off my list

What ever lame job this is that you wouldn't get it based only on a small loss of face like that.  Business asshats

It was kind of a bummer back in 2008 when I realized that my first post-college job, manager of a cell-phone store, wasn't opening many doors, even though I increased our sales by over 50% after getting the manager position.

I later realized that every store on every street in the country has a manager, and Citibank or AT&T probably aren't sending recruiters in there to find people for their Leadership Development Programs

What did you segue into?

[AdmiralViscen]

Lol ruh roh

[Stoney Mason]

Pretty much all of them.

Unless you are like the president or a secret agent, your job is probably boring as shit. One of my least favorite things in the world is to hear 99.9% of people talk about the minutiae of their daily job.

That being said some rare people are naturally entertaining and can make it funny.

[bluemax]

Software engineer for a company of more than 100 people.

My current employer is right around 100 and we do contract work for mega corps and it drives me nuts. I can't even imagine dealing with daily bureacracy at a large company.

Actually any job that has bureauacracy. I worked for my University during undergrad and while I made more money than most student workers it was a lot of red tape and politics.

Brother of a former chain pharmacist, can confirm.
