Dentist

You're the person everyone lies to about flossing. Your entire career is spent peering into mouths that make you question humanity, nobody is happy to see you but everyone needs you, and your student debt rivals a mortgage. But you get to fix things, run your own practice, and make six figures while wearing pajama-like scrubs to work. Not bad for someone whose patients dread the visit.

What you'll actually do

• 01Ask 'do you floss?' and watch everyone lie directly to your face with zero hesitation
• 02Have patients try to hold full conversations while both your hands are in their mouth
• 03Survive the kid who bites you — they're small but their jaws are not
• 04Fire up the drill and watch grown adults tremble like they're facing a final boss
• 05Explain that candy isn't technically poison while radiating an energy that says otherwise
• 06Hunch over mouths all day until your back files a formal grievance with your spine
• 07Greet patients who haven't been in five years and expect miracles in a single visit
