What is the most useless job you can think of? by Delaney Natale
Answer by Delaney Natale:
The lifeguard at the swimming Olympics.
These guys are professional swimmers, the best in the world. Still, there's always a chance something could go wrong, and if you didn't have a lifeguard for that one incident that something happens… well, it probably wouldn't turn out well.
I see the point in it, but it has to be awfully boring.
And useless.
Edit: Please don’t tell me in the comments that there’s a reason for it. I pointed out clearly in this answer that I know there’s always a chance something will go wrong. I was only stating that it’s extremely unlikely. I’m aware that anything could happen.
Edit 2: People don't seem to care about what I said before about understanding the lifeguard's purpose. Comments disabled.
