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.

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.

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.

Dug post-holes. Pounded fence-posts. Shoveled manure of various origin. Dug ditches. Mended barbed-wire fence. Hand-carried and stacked 50-lb cartons of potatoes to the tune of 15-20 tons per day. Hoed fields. Salted maggot-infested cattle-hides. Felled trees with an axe. Busted concrete with a sledgehammer. Chased a pack of wild coyotes away from an injured horse unarmed. Lumped furniture for 18 hours straight. Carried 75-lb bundles of roofing material up a wobbly 18' extension ladder. Roofed houses in 100-degree-plus heat. Turned hay at 3:30 am. Set irrigation tubes in rattlesnake country. Driven a tractor-trailer over deserted 10,000-foot mountain passes at 2:00 am on glare-ice in the dead of winter. Loaded turkey guano into a tractor trailer with a front-end loader on a windy day.

"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. ;)

Surveillance in a hot van during the Summer with no A/C over 13 hours...smelling my feces in a bucket.

Surveillance isn't like the movies!

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.

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.
