2. Guy standing in median with sign: 'Will work for food" ...
the one who wouldn't actually work for food but hopes for donations for booze. He would lie about needing a carrot to keep from starving.

Truly? Sneaky mid-level manager.
If he were born to more modest means, he'd be the sort of person who'd do just enough to be able to claim credit for projects he really had little or nothing to do with.

And he'd be whining to the likes of Neal Boortz and Rush Limbaugh about how oppressed he was.

21. seriously, he's suited to be a middle manager at an exclusive golf club.
he'd be responsible for nothing substantial, but still get to hobnob with racist powermen who barely tolerate him.
Every day he'd come to work and look on wistfully, wishing he was one of the club members.

37. Pyschiatric ginuea pig.
Narcissitic Personality Disorder: A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

4. requires excessive admiration

5. has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

6. is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

7. lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others

8. is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes


Only five symptoms are required for a diagnosis? He shows signs of ALL NINE!

42. NONE
There is not one single job that Shrub would be suited for in the real world -- NOT ONE.

Some of the jobs listed here in this thread are jobs that are actually done -- by sane, reasonable, and good people.

Shrub is none of that -- he is not sane. He is not reasonable. And he certainly is not good.

He is beneath all the good, decent people who work at McDonalds, or who greet at Walmart, or who shovel, or any other job there is.

43. You deserve a prize for the correct answer.
Truth is, he would qualify for none of the above, because he has screwed up everything he has ever tried to do. But his is a classic example of a rich and powerful man's son failing his way clear to the top.

Truth is, he wouldn't last a week at any real job.

45. let's see . . .
what work is sutable for someone who is stupid, lazy, cruel, is a compulsive liar, has no discernible competency, is mentally ill, has negative communications skills . . .

I can't think of a single job he is qualified for or would be capable of performing at a minimally acceptable level.
