Unless you are a poster child for the rich and famous, all of us have done at one time or another done a job that "most Americans won't do"
Personally The worst job I ever had to do was shovel my way through knee deep rotten chicken parts until I had gotten rid of all of them....Without hip waders.
I think the smell permanently ruined my olfactory nerves.
So what was That Job that most americans won't do, that you did.
90lbs. jackhammer for 16 hours a day.
I made the donuts at dunkin donuts... helped roof houses..cocktail waitress for 2 bucks an hour...served food...fed, changed and gave showers at the nursing home.
I took any job that paid more than the price of gas to drive to the site!
Illegal aliens maybe couldn't do once-a-week file clerk jobs, though -- English skills were essential.
What only 20 jobs, mon? Why you lazy ragamuffin. ;)
Pay my taxes.
Ha! I was a cocktail waitress at the Marriott in the Disco Days.
Skimpy uniform and high heels, big heels for customers, little jerks for bosses. Big money, though, and I bought a house and fixed my son's medical problems within three yrs. I never had one single good moment in that place.
Never, ever sing a disco song near me. I will hurt you. Seriously.
"Jobs Americans won't do"? I suppose the POTUS has never seen an episode of 'Fear Factor'.
There's nothing, and I mean nothing that Americans won't do for a buck. ;)
I worked on a chicken farm, 85,000 of them, shovel feed in one end, chicken crap out the other. I got $20.00 a week, plus fried chicken and mashed taters for lunch. If we saw a chicken looking puny, we would get rid of it, or it would end up on the table.
Thanks for eating all the sick ones...
Shoveled manure, swept floors, fought fires, cleaned/maintained the dryer system in an OSB plant...one of the dirtiest jobs on the planet, ran a feed mill, ran a Co-op grain elevator that moved millions of bushels of grain a year onto trains, trucked/applied farm chemicals, upholstered LaZBoy chairs, riveted new reefer trailers, poured concrete, built washing machine transmissions, built boat trailers and farm equipment, and lots of other stuff.
Hey, you do what you have to do to keep your family fed, clothed and housed...
I'm one who finds the President's characterization of 'jobs that Americans (supposedly) won't do' offensive.
