I imagine there are a nearly infinite number of jobs I wouldn't do for a million a year, or any price, but the one that springs to mind is anything involving the armed forces. I mean, if Obama says you have to invade Belgium tomorrow, you have to go do it. What's worse, while the tax payers are shelling out a million a year for you to do your job, you only get like...$27k a year or something. f*ck that shit. At least in a privateer baby killing gig like Blackwater you can quit any time and the pay is exponentially higher.

I totally understand what you're saying about having less control over your life, but are people really payed $27K (give or take) in the forces in the American Empire? Sheesh. That's pretty rough. In Canada you're at least taken care of in terms of pay and pension, not to mention opportunities to get further education. Also, you don't have to worry about invading too many countries. Maybe Denmark (damn Danes think they can saunter through the Northwest Passage), or Spain (thinking they can stroll into our fishing waters). But overall, Canada doesn't get involved in illegal wars/invasions like Iraq - we helped in the first Gulf War, but that was sanctioned by the UN. I'd actually consider a job with the Canadian Forces if it was the right job.
As for a job I wouldn't do for one million/year I'd have to go with any job in relation to blood diamonds or something like that. That's a sure ticket to hell.

LOL,
I worked for 9 years at Kline Towers. I've been to the top of Sutro, the antennas that were on the World Trade Center, and several 2000' towers. I designed and inspected the towers. The guys that built them were the crazy ones....
The craziest thing I ever saw was in Madison, Wisconsin. We were using a heavy lift helicopter to raise an additional antenna to the top of the tower. It was in the 20s.. brrrr. Well, the Rigger had to climb up the antenna (while it was still tethered to the heli) to release the lifting cable.... 1500', 20F, heli wind, and the dude had to climb the pegs on the outside of the mast..... CRAZY!

Actually, the UN does make international law, but the US tends not to sign onto international laws/agreements because it's not in their interest to do so, while middle powers like Canada, Sweden, Australia do. But even if the US violates international law that they have signed onto the UN can't really do anything to prosecute because what can the international community really do about it? There is no UN Global Military - well there are UN missions, but it's by-in-large the supported by the US. heh. It's the same with Israel. Israel's settlements are in direct violation of the Geneva convention, which states that you can't settle/colonize conquered land; but unless the US stops vetoing UN legislation that is critical of Israel who is going to stop them?
This was Canada's Prime Minister, Jean Chretien's, wonderfully articulated opposition to the invasion of Iraq. lol

The rules exist to serve as an excuse to tell smaller countries what to do, to keep them small. They justify invasions, not prevent them. By controlling the UN we can tell Iraq what they can and can't do, invade them, sanction and bomb them weekly for over a decade, and then invade them again, amounting to a death toll, directly or indirectly, in the millions, all without any consequence. Meanwhile North Korea shoots a crappy missile out into the sea and its sanction time again.
It was never designed that way, but in reality it works that way. What's hilarious is to hear ultra-concervative Americans talk about how we should leave the UN because it holds us back, neuters our sovereignty. In fact, its one of our most powerful weapons!
The winners write history. The very tactics that won WWII are now banned by the UN and the Geneva convention (ie: massive and sustained carpet bombing of civilian targets). If the axis powers had prevailed the same rules would exist, only it would have been Churchill and Truman who would have been tried for the same warcrimes we eventually charged Nazis with.

On the surface the pay looks bad, but you're ignoring the value of free food, housing, clothing, medical care, etc.. Even discounting the fringe benefits, E-1 base pay is still $2000 per year more than a minimum wage earner.
I was thinking of officers not enlisted. Officers tend to do a lot better paywise.
Commissioned officers start at about $33,000 a year. With ten years of service, there's little reason for 'em not to be an O-4 (about $75,000).

I don't think that paying a guy $2k more than the legal minimum is very impressive considering he's signed away a good portion of his human rights. We Americans spend more on military shit than we do on anything else, and not enough of it is going to the soldiers themselves. That's my main point. I know guys that have done civilian work in Iraq for $27k a month.

They should stop enticing dipshits to join the military via benefits and nonsense.
Maybe we'd have a stronger economy. The people would either sink, or swim. None of this cop-out "join the army, gits me a moneys, shoots me some injuns, AND THEN SIT ON MY ASS AFTERWARDS AND BE A TOTAL DOUCHE WHILE THEY CONTINUE TO GIVE ME SOME MONEY"
Yeah they hook you up for wasting your time, but it sucks when you got burnouts/alcoholics joining the army for the perks/money just because they f*cked their life up.
seems like bribery. "Hey you, you're worthless because you're an idiot and failed to succeed. Come join the army, we will hand you money if you be our meatbag for awhile"

Your argument seemed to be that those joining the military earn less than a minimum wage earner, which I showed to be false for even a lowly E-1. Furthermore, you're view that soldiers do nothing worthwhile is spitting in their faces, which really isn't surprising coming from you.
I too would like to see the soldiers get better pay (and better equipment, more training, etc.), but it is a voluntary service; if they don't like it, they don't have to sign up. If they make a career of the military, it does get a bit better; after ten years, they should be making about $38,000 (enlisted) or $75,000 (officer), whereas the average private employee receives $30,000 (high school grad) or $52,000 (four year degree), though the private employees obviously enjoy much more freedom.

my problem is them roping in deadbeats to enlist and they use money and benefits to lure them in. This was commonplace in highschool every year, twice a year. The jackasses that enlisted were pretty much a step away from dropping out, or prison.
So then what happens, at least around here, is they go f*ck off for 4 years and get paid, come back and keep getting money from it, and sit on their asses and drink all day. By the time reality sinks in for them, they're pushing, or past 30 years old and they have no marketable talents other than whatever basic training and crap gave them.
so then some of them use the free money and shit to go to school and spend another 4+ years getting a degree they werent motivated to get in the first place only because they now realize they're getting to be that age where its now or never...
seems kinda broken. Yeah, it's keeping idiots out of prison or sitting around doing absolutely nothing....... but when a bunch of them come back and sit around doing nothing WHILE GETTING MONEY FOR IT, it's kind of retarded

No. The only thing that matters is that if there is a God in heaven they will burn in hell for all eternity for what they do on a daily basis, which is why I wouldn't do it for $1 million a year, or any other price.* Considering that, they should at least get paid the same as a garbage man or a meter maid, and most of them don't.

I never said that. I said that mall management could pay more than $27k, which is does. Managing an EB pays about $40k (or it did, before Gamestop bought them) and an anchor store like a Sears can pay $100,000+. I never mentioned minimum wage, you did. However, since minimum wage is an hourly thing...if you look at things from an hourly perspective, even the guy at 7-11 is making more than a guy stuck in a submarine for three months since he's there 24/7, on duty or not.

Yes, please explain to all of us how the world is such a greta place because of all the places the US has invaded. Just think of how much better we all are off thanks to the invasion of Iraq, Panama, Korea, Nicaragua, Mexico, the Philippines, Viet Nam, Cambodia. The list is basically endless. f*ck it. Just explain Cambodia. Explain how that helped anyone who wasn't already hella rich and well connected.
As Americans we've been indoctrinated since birth to love the military and what it does while ignoring the fact that what it does is kill people. Well, it didn't work on me. I have no respect for that. I'm not really even all that concerned that they get better pay, but I would love to see them get real jobs. If we, as a country, spent the same trillion dollars a year building up this country instead of f*cking up other's, we'd have a country that was actually as good as people say it is.

Hells yeah. If I was to sign up with the Canadian Navy as a commissioned officer I would basically be starting off making over $60 000/year. I'm pretty flabbergasted at the dismal pay the US Forces receive, never mind the individuals who are maimed during their service and receive little to no compensation for their sacrifice.
I do agree with Zeta that the US has caused a ruckus in South America, but that's par for the course for superpowers. The UK/England spent hundreds of years causing mayhem and drawing arbitrary borders around the world and we are still trying to fix what they left behind. Even the Soviet Union managed to turn Eastern Europe into a place of constant ethnic conflict.
Unfortunately, for some reason the Republican party has morphed into something barely recognizable from what it once was and continues to mutate, horribly. Glenn Beck's Tea Party is thankfully so ridiculous that Americans will be unable to ignore the how obviously out of touch the Republican party is. I just don't understand why conservatives, around the world, have been given the "economy savior" status. Whether in Canada, the US, the UK, Greece, conservatives always manage to screw over the economy and put their respective nations in massive debt with absolutely nothing to show for it, except large bonuses for CEOs.
Back to the military industrial complex, I love Eisenhower's farewell address to Americans. The man was a prophetic genius.

Well, around where I lived the recruiters were pretty horrible. They would actually follow me home from school like some sort of child molester. I can still remember them rolling behind me in their Chevette trying to convince me that I'd be nothing so I might a well join the Army. This was a lost cause since at this same time I was actively protesting the first Iraq invasion.
I would by no means say that everyone who signed up was a loser (many were), or they they even believed that they would be a losers if they didn't sign up (many more were). I've known many good people who have gone into the service, but only one actually made it a career, and most of them basically agree that it didn't do them much good. The recruiters massively overstate the value of military experience, and you will almost certainly not get all that college money!

No doubt. Armed Forces are essential for creating stability on the seas against pirates (yarrr) or making sure ethnic conflicts don't turn into regional wars. Sure, there are meatheads in the military that don't even know where "Eyeraq" is and just want to shoot up some "Ehrabs", but there are just as many, if not more, who actually take their job seriously and try and do good.

Right. There are plenty of good people who sign up. I just don't agree with them basically looking for dead weight and convincing them to sign up. That mostly just enables them to continue being dick-offs once theyre back into civilian land. They get free money and sit around. I base this off of the 7 douchebags who all went to the army, did their GI Joe training, and all 7 came back and are livin' the white trash life. I doubt it's an isolated instance.
If you look at it the right way, its like they volunteered to go to prison for 4 years and get paid while doing it, only the prison taught em how to shoot shit and punch people properly. White trash trained to kill! Brilliant.
The whole thing in general is stupid, and not for me. I do too many things that I would miss doing if I enlisted, shaved my hair, flew overseas, and had to dick off outside all day.
I prefer to get my college/career going the old fashioned way. More power to the people who do the armed forces way, and hats off to the ones that don't half ass it.
I really dislike America lately though. I'm getting tired of the WERE THE BEST COUNTRY EVER bullshit we keep spouting. It is retarded.

I wouldn't do any job that takes up too much of my spare time. What is the point of having money if you can't enjoy what you spend it on? I would actually love to have a part time job and just barely get by. A regular apartment, video games and some beer is all I need.
Or you could be a Wall Street trader, work 16 hour days, make $400k a year, and retire before 40. At that point you could play games and drink beer all day and sit on a mountain of cash.

But I could die at 39. I don't like to put my life on hold, so I'm going for it. :)

I agree that time is much more than money. I wasted my entire summer working 12 hours days, as many as 16 days in a row, because I was on layoff and needed the money. The contract eventually expired, and I'm now back to my good job working 40 hours a week (some would consider 40 a lot, but in the US is pretty average), 15 minutes from home, good benefits, and the pay is the same as working 53 hours at the other job.
I passed up a lot of stuff for this stupid crappy job that almost melted my face off on multiple instances...but what's insane is that there are people there, in the same building, who have been doing it for 20 years solid. TWENTY f*ckING YEARS. Its impossible to even comprehend. I couldn't even manage to keep my grass cut and my clothes washed and these dudes have spend almost half their life in this state. Its really tragic.
As for the Wall Street thing...that's even worse. I'd rather be dead than be one of those a$$holes.

seriously though, I find alot of those like uppity business people are frigging annoying to be around. Some kids from my highschool who were alright at the time went to college for that shit, and 4 years later now, I run into them and they're just annoying people. When you're talking about business nonsense (marketing approaches, sale strategies, whatever horse shit), at a frigging cookout focusing on chicken wings, ribs, loud music, and boobs, YOU DONE GOOFED.
Theyre like out of touch and can't separate work time and f*ck YEAH time.

Im talking about those retards out there where no matter what they're doing, they're talking business strategery and shit. It doesn't matter if they're in the middle of getting humped, they'll probably still be talking about some shit they read in a trump book.
OH YEAH BABY. SUPPLY AND DEMAND. SUPPLY AND DEMAND. OOOOO.
You ever try playing air hockey with someone who starts trying to relate the way the games played to some marketing horse shit?
its terrible.
