Pageant Question 7: What real-life job would you never want and why?

I second guess my half of conversations decades old, worrying I said the wrong thing.  Potentially missing opportunities because I can't figure out what to do keeps me up at night.  I worry that my actions hurt someone else.  I agonize over what to have for lunch.  I sometimes can't decide what to listen to on my iPod for so long, I miss the opportunity to listen at all.  I am the exact opposite of what is needed in a doctor.  I would never want to be a doctor because I would need to make life or death decisions.  I would need to defend those decisions.  I would need to live with them for the rest of my life, and I don't think I could.

Doctors need to make decisions quickly, and you'd think, as an improviser, that would be okay for me.  But you'd be wrong.  I can decide in an improv scene without a problem because it's made up!  I've killed kittens by twisting their necks.  I've eviscerated myself and jumped rope with my intestines.  I can do anything in improv, and I'm not really hurting anything.  Deciding a course of treatment for a real, live patient?  No way.  I can't figure out what to watch with dinner, much less what to do about a person's tumor.  Besides the initial decision, even worse is my post-decision second guessing.

"I suggested watching Kung Fu Hustle, but maybe Battle Royale would have been better..."  "I thought I wanted to listen to Rush, but I saw that I have Traffic on my playlist, too, so maybe I should stop this song and...  No, wait, I was enjoying that, so I'll go back... Now I don't feel like it."  "I ordered the mac and cheese, but your fish fry looks really good.  I should have... Aw, drats."  You don't want a doctor like that hovering over your anesthetized body with a scalpel.

If there were any job for which I am not suited, it is a doctor, primarily because of my reluctant and regretful decision-making.  Not only do doctors have to spend so much time and money preparing for their profession, they need a temperament that can live with decisions that determine the course of someone else's life.  Since I can't even live with my own decisions, "doctor" is not for me.
