The new series of this has started, and it is a fascinating and insightful series, showing how other people live.
However this thread is not about the TV series, or it would be in Heaven. This is a game, where you identify your job, and the next person suggests where the worst place to do that would be, before indicating their job.
So if I were to say, for example, that I was an exobiologist, then the next person might suggest that the Asteroid belt might be the worst place, as there is probably no life whatsoever there. And nowhere obvious to look. And a long way away.
Having said that, if we can generally be fairly honest about our job areas (although they can also be past jobs), and if we can keep it to Earth mostly, that would be a good think.
So I will start, and my job is a software developer.
