NCEP: What's your opposite job?

[RoxMonster]

I thought this was interesting. According to this, the opposite of a secondary education instructor is an agricultural grader, a job I have not heard of before!

What is your opposite job? Would you love it or hate it?

[fuckyourcouch]

The opposite of a geologist is a lumberjack 🤔🤔🤔

ETA: I would not do this job. Lol.

[ESF]

The opposite of a lawyer is also an agricultural grader.

The opposition of an agricultural grader is a chief executive.

This makes no sense.

[pandorica]

The opposite of a wildlife biologist is a model apparently.

I disagree with some of the statements in their list of skills wildlife biologists use least, though.

[pixy0stix]

Surgeon. *shrug*

[winecat]

I got physicist. Their list of skills that I use the least was dead wrong though.

[vicky]

Physicist. Hmm. Okay.

[vicky]

winecat because bakers never document anything.

[sofamonkey]

I put DH job in there. The opposite of Anne handicap engineer is a model. 😂 That would be hysterical and so isn't his thing!

ETA spelling

[alexis]

The opposite of a mathematician is a coal mine shuttle car operator.

The number one skill a mathematician uses is... mathematics.

Number 2 skill is mathematical reasoning.

The opposite of registered nurse is model also.

Or repair equipment.

Or select equipment.

Or communicate with supervisors or subordinates.

Pretty much the entire list.

[pinkdutchtulips]

Opposite of a paralegal is a physicist ?!?

I *also* got physicist. So bakers and graphic designers are basically the same.

[5thofjuly]

Apparently there is no such thing as a professor.

[suburbanzookeeper]

The opposite job of an insurance agent is a model.

LOLOLOLOLOL

[sushi]

I'm a model just like a lot.

H would be a slaughterer and meat packer. Huh.

And apparently nurses use theology.

[tiramisu]

Apparently the opposite of an MFT is also an agricultural grader.

The other career everyone suggested for me was lawyer and it has the same opposite job. I think the most-used skills are a bit different than for MFTs, though both need to be good at documentation.

[TBM]

The opposite of my job would be employed. ;p

The closest thing that I could find to my former job, making and designing costumes, was a fashion designer, and the opposite of that is an agricultural grader.

DH is a mechanical engineer, and the opposite of that is a model.

I agree with whoever said that this makes no sense.

[DotAndBuzz]

of my part time job, it's a physicist. I would HATE that. I hate studying physics. Love the space thing conceptually (like, learning about stars), but hate studying the formulaic details.

Opposite of my volunteer work (which takes a shitload of my time, so it's kind of like a job) is Agricultural Grader. Going to go with a nope for that one as well.

[atarianna]

My opposite is a model. That would not work out.

[discogranny]

Both H and I are slaughters and meat packers. Birds of a feather I guess?

[ellipses84]

Mine was slaughterer and meat packer. I would absolutely hate it, as I don't eat beef or pork, and it is definitely about as different as you can get from my profession.

[ESF]

LMAO at some of these responses.

Go home, NYT, you are drunk.

[AJL]

I'm a SAHM, so I guess my opposite job is... a job?

A lot of nurses pray with their patients at the bedside.

[Michelle]

It looks like they are trying to use O*NET and create a game, but O*Net doesn't have A LOT of occupations.

HR Director isn't available. They have Administrative Services Manager, which would be the closest. But then that results in an agricultural grader, which apparently uses foreign languages a lot. So do HR Directors, if they know them.

This calculator is dumb. It should be floating around FB.

[downtoearth]

The opposite job of an environmental engineer is a slaughterer and meat packer.

But... wouldn't my opposite job of cleaning up spills and investigating contamination be the people that actually contaminate? So instead of a meat packer, you'd be a refinery or something?

Same with environmental scientist... so weird.

[redheadbaker]

The opposite of graphic designer is physicist. I'd hate it -- I was awful at physics in high school.
