Could you do a job that was harrowing? Like working at a kids hospice?
Or are you too much of a wimp?

Depends what you mean by "harrowing".
Being in a dull, grey, faceless megacorp, doing the same thing over and over and over again, with no real chance of future development, creative input or chance of promotion, knowing that one isn't qualified to do anything else, and that essentially the workplace is a very mild form of prison might be pretty harrowing.
