'Underwater welder': The jobs Redditors would never accept, no matter how much they paid

Everyone has their role in life. Some of us are destined to educate the next generation. Some of us feel compelled to learn all we can about the human body so we can help sick people. Others of us spend our days making lists of memes for people on the internet. But what about the people with overlooked jobs? Just because we don't like to think about them, doesn't mean they don't exist. Someone has to muck out the pig pen. Someone has to alphabetize the archives. Someone has to fix the McDonald's ice cream machine (actually wait, I don't think anyone does). 

There are folks out there doing all sorts of jobs that range from annoying to wacky to full-on dreadful. Everyone has their line they won't cross, and learn where that is sooner than later. Below is a list of jobs that Redditors would never sign on for, no matter if they made us billionaires or not.
