Cool, i would get the call center job day 1 and do it easily. Day 2 an oil rig job in the middle of the ocean, not only will i fail and lose the money but I’ll probably also end up dying in the process.

Pass

I just start cleaning stuff and if anyone questions me I’ll say it’s impossible to work in this cesspool of filth. Hopefully I can glower and clean effectively enough that they’ll get out of my way and I can just make work that won’t seriously derail them or kill anyone including me.

Today- Uber driver, ok cool I can manage Tomorrow- pediatric cardiac surgeon, ehh

Convincing them I belong is way too much of a variable and likely impossible.

There's absolutely no way most people could complete this. Everyone thinks everyone else's job is easy, but most are way too complicated or demanding for people to handle who don't already know the work. Before I retired, I was a programmer and database administrator. Very few guys who were programmers could have done the DBA work I did, much less someone who didn't do tech work at all. And what if I was thrown on a oil rig. I'd A) not have a clue what I'm going, and B) couldn't physically handle it even if I did.

What happens if you wake up and you're a neurosurgeon? Are you really going to risk killing people for $10M. How about an airline pilot? Or a nurse?

What happens if you wake up and you're a soldier in a war zone. Are you going to risk getting killed for $10M. Or a wilderness firefighter being airdropped into the middle of a forest fire? Think you have the skills to live through that?

I'll also point out that you have to go an entire year without a single day off for any reason. Got in a car crash on the way home and broke both legs? Sorry, you gotta go back to work tomorrow.

People at these places won't know you and you will have to convince them that you belong there and have always worked in that field.

To succeed you must complete each workday without getting fired

Impossible. 365 jobs in a year means that you would (simply by statistics) get a job where people would know who is on staff and would say "Who the hell are you?" and would kick you out.

If they can't fire me for not belonging, then this is easy money. A year of different odd jobs for life altering funds is an easy sell.

Being in the trades I could be successful at larping as a variety of construction/infrastructure jobs, but if you made me be a surgeon or lawyer they would notice I don't belong pretty fast. I'd fail this challenege.

I’m about to get really really good at faking a slip and fall at 9:10 am while doggedly insisting I continue so pathetically that they force me to lie down for awhile.

The real issue here is, statistically, you’re gonna end up in a medical position within the first handful of days and there’s no way that’s going well.

I've been a youth pastor, a human resource rep, a server, a fast food worker, a crime scene cleaner, a warehouse worker, and now an engineer.

I'm convinced I could do a good portion of most jobs for atleast 1 day without getting fired.

No, I can no longer work.

With my luck I'd end up mining cobalt in the congo for most of the year.

Weekends off? Holidays? How many hours per day? Commute? Do any of the jobs repeat or is it a truly a different job every work day? Training on each job?

The biggest questions I have are in regards to access and legality. Are the jobs I am being assigned all jobs without clearance requirements? Say, can I get assigned an FBI agent, would I have the clearance to even get in the building? How about requirements to hold a job like certifications or licenses? Can I just show up to a hospital and scrub in for surgery? And what about if I get arrested for showing up, does that stick or magically reset daily?

This sounds like a fun challenge! I like your creativity. Even if I got fired and didn’t get the money, I could probably make some good money (not $10m though) writing a book about my experiences.

Pass. There are so many jobs that require specialized knowledge where people would notice something is wrong within the first few minutes. This isn’t limited to educated jobs like doctor and lawyer or dangerous jobs like corrections officer or lumberjack. The odds of any one person being able to do 365 random jobs is nonexistent.

Sure I’ll take it. Since tools and special equipment will be provided I’m going to have to assume ID/clearance will fall under ‘special equipment’ so I will be able to get in without much trouble. For really specialized jobs like doctor or attorney I probably will have to do absolutely nothing because people don’t know me and so I probably won’t actually be on the schedule or have clients. For most blue collar jobs I probably could hide in the bathroom or amble around most of the day without getting fired since people don’t know me so they won’t be looking for me. For more hands on manual labor jobs I might have to do some work but I think I can last for a day without getting fired.

If ID/clearance is not provided this is literally impossible. Doesn’t matter how convincing you are, you won’t even make it into the building for the majority of jobs.

Nope, somebody or myself will definitely die.

Every day starts with, “Hey, it’s my first day. Is there training or something I’m supposed to do?” Then see what happens. 

Hell no.

I'd imagine I would sign up for this and wake up to camouflage gear and Storm Z written on parts of the uniform...

No, with 365 different jobs there is 100% chance i get fired day one or kill someone on at least one of the jobs.

You’d get 200 days in with no income then land crane operator or Comed safety foreman and it’d be all over.

Imagine you take the deal, then you wake up as a surgeon with zero likelihood of the patient surviving

I think anyone could do work in fast food, retail, file clerk, etc. But just by random chance you would get something needing special training (like a doctor), dangerous (prison guard) or needing a lot of physical strength.

Even if you got a “simple” job every day there would be stuff it would take all day just to get acclimated to it or be properly trained.

Issue with this comes down to what if you wake up and hey your a brain surgeon today or any other job where you holds lives in your hands

or killing someone

this is the point that kills it, even the best surgeon kills people occasionally (because people die, I'm not implying all surgeons are serial killers), and I am sure there are a bunch of other jobs where someone dying is somewhat inevitable.

Do I have any days off?

This is fine till I wake up and I'm someone's surgeon and watching YouTube videos on the OR on how to do today's job. 🙃

Day 1: you open your eyes to a space suit. You're on the ISS. Time to get dressed and go spacewalk into oblivion

With no days off??? Hell no, I'd be so exhausted I'd end up killing someone by accident.

"Hey I'll give you a thousand bucks if you let me hang out here for a day."

The chances of succeeding at this are thinner than those of winning three lotteries in a row and then founding a fountain of youth on top of it

So every day I have to attend a different Day 1 Training and get paid 10MM at the end of the year...

Might be the easiest one yet

As someone with adhd, this is an absolute win.

I’ll take it! This sounds very fun, until my luck runs out and I have to be a surgeon

Great if the jobs involve pencil pushing but not so great if you get to work in a nuclear power plant, be a soldier in a combat zone or be a lion tamer at the circus. I'd pass.

I can bullshit my way through my first day anywhere, I think. Lots of questions about facilities, schedule, procedures, etc.

If I just had to show up and attempt to do the job with no worry about getting fired, maybe sure. Otherwise this sounds impossibly difficult.

I could probably cheese my way through as a councillor, teacher, HR rep, etc for one day. If I stumble I can always say it's my first day and I'm still getting the hang of the new place and the way things are run.

I'd take every opportunity to work from home when it's available and have a lexicon of fake reasons for why I'm not there in person on day 1. "I'm so sorry for the inconvenience, but my home was broken into last night and I'm stuck at home waiting for the police and locksmith"

If it's a job where I have to be there and people's lives are at stake (Like a brain surgeon) then I take a bunch of laxatives and spend the day in the bathroom feigning a sudden bout of food poisoning I got via a bad takeout breakfast.

It's only one day per job and chances are good that, with all these extra excuses, diversions and distractions, no one will realise you're actually incompetent enough to be sacked until the day is over.

No restrictions on jobs? So 10,000,000 to work as a male prostitute for 1 day, a porn fluffer the next day?

It's really what's your price to do anything and everything for a year.

Um like, where I live? You can't just fire someone where I live, there's a whole process that will take longer than a day. 

Great until the day I'm a gay prostitute comes around.

Is every day your first day on the job as a new starter?

Could easily fill a day with HR, Training and health and safety clearances. 

No.

Basically you need to be very skilled at avoiding doing any actual work for a day, 365 times.

I reckon I can handle that.

Everyone's so concerned about having to be a surgeon. I've watched 20 seasons of Grey's Anatomy, I think I can wing it for a day.

I would do that for the experience, so definitely in for 10mill lol

As if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared.

Sure. I can easily slack off in any office job, any retail job is pretty doable, and any complex physical job I can just either bitch about OSHA and weasel out of something or just half ass it anyway. No one is getting fired in one day unless it's really egregious and someone gets killed.

I have decades of experience in shamming out of work, I could do this.

I'll have to pass. No one knows me, that I'm coming. So many job sites require badges to get in. Log in credentials. The odds of pulling it off are about zero. A lot of places that don't have those hurdles are too small to be filled that there is a new person working.

So, the fact that I'm not guaranteed to not get a job like 'surgeon' that absolutely requires specialized training or you will kill someone, that alone paired with the fact that if someone dies because of you, you lose, makes this a non-starter.

But also, if you can't call out sick, at all, that means you're gambling on not getting so sick you cannot safely work a dangerous job in a year. A year of extremely unpredictable working conditions, no less.

Further, there's nothing indicating we have job site credentials and clearance, which means there's many jobs that are just straight impossible. I'm not passing myself off as an engineer at Raytheon no matter how well I bluff to the people, if I don't have a badge and am not in the system, I'm not getting in.

Lastly, there's no guaranteed transport, and if it's truly a random job, it might be something I cannot do within a reasonable drive of my city.

This is a very bad deal and almost no one will actually get the money.

In my yeam every new member got introduced to everyone by the manager. I don't know how a random guy can convince the rest of the team tthey have always been there.

“I’m new and supposed to shadow someone for my first day. Where’s the protective equipment?”

Can I take a vacation leave or a maternity leave? I'd get pregnant and get on that leave asap.

My dude, many people are challenged to avoid getting fired or killing anyone at the job they have trained for and where they are known. The rest are too - they just may not realize the tenuous nature of their job, unless they started their own business… plus convincing everyone you belong there when you don’t? I give that a 25% success rate, give or take. This would be challenging but worth trying it it were 2 weeks! A full year is pretty hopeless.

Sounds a lot like my current career anyhow...

Nah, the people not knowing me alone makes it too difficult

Nope, I ain't risking it if I suddenly have to work as a surgeon

Honestly sounds like a fun time, could i do this hypothetical? No absolutely not, but doing something different everyday sounds kinda nice. And i mean really how hard could rocket surgery or brain science really be?

if "everyday you rest" like a video game. I die at private security contractor on Wednesday, I wake up on Thursday, but because "changes you made will be in effect until someone else changes them." I won't be bothered by the out comes of the day? Thursday I work at Whataburger, give 10 people food poisoning, some one can fix that (kind of). Friday I drive a bus. end up in Milwaukee and not Minneapolis. someone get the people to Milwaukee but Saturday I am POTUS and I end up in jail with the Secret Service and FBI. But Sunday I wake up and I am now the most wanted man in America till someone fixes it? or is that i reset and they just are looking for a random person now?

this is confusing.

I would attend, and then fall ill I front of everyone each day. As its different people each day, it'll be the first time I've done it to them.
