People Reveal Which Professions They Hate The Most

Deep down, nearly all parents dream of at least one of their children becoming a doctor, lawyer, or high-earning professional.

This doesn't mean they aren't still proud of their children if they enter a profession that doesn't exactly make them rich but brings them joy and also brings joy and happiness to others.

Even if it doesn't stop others from passing judgment on their career of choice.

In fact, there are some careers that are almost universally viewed as a hindrance, if not a threat, to modern society.

Jobs that might cause harm to the environment, or jobs that barely qualify as jobs, which no one should actually be paid to do.


Redditor Modern_Devil was curious to hear which professions people felt had a negative influence on society, leading them to ask:
"What is the most bullshit profession that actually exists?"

Before we pass judgment, we should always remember that some people simply need to earn a living, and don't think any more fondly of these professions than we do.

Even if it doesn't make calls from telemarketers any less frustrating...

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
