19 Jobs Everyone Thinks Are Amazing But Are Actually Soul-Crushing Nightmares
Recently, Reddit user Recent-Frame571 asked, "What's a job that is so hyped up but in reality it's absolutely trash?" People had A LOT to say — the post had over 5,800 comments! Here are some of the best and most interesting replies: "Chef. Cooking gets glamorized a lot. Celebrity chefs make it look like big money rock star stuff. The reality is very long days with very low pay, even for very high end skillsets." —Successful-Worker139 "Former film actor here. It has some good parts, but it's also a lot of long days and nights, travel, hanging around, and repetitive takes. The impact on your self-esteem is even worse. You learn to view yourself as a product and compete with other human beings who also see themselves as products. It's dehumanizing, especially if you're a young person or a woman." "Zookeeper. The job requires a degree, but you get paid $14 per hour. It's basically shoveling poop outside all day. The workload is literally so heavy to the point that your body will start breaking down, even in your 20s. You spend so much time cleaning that there's barely any time spent with the animals you take care of." "Being a veterinarian freaking sucks." —pimentocheeze_"I try to help animals, but the job ends up balancing one rewarding case with 10 terrible ones. Animals you could have helped, but the owners couldn't afford it, or their owners waited too long to bring them in. Verbally abusive clients. Heartbreaking euthanasia in one room to a puppy wellness visit in the next. It's crushing."—erinarian "Any job that requires frequent international travel. It's fun and sexy at first, then very boring and tiresome after a while!" "Video game QA (quality assurance) tester. Some people think it's a party where you just play video games all day. But QA is regularly looked down on by the rest of the teams, and the monotonous and repetitive test plans and compliance checks can absolutely suck out the fun of video games for you." "Brewer. Crippling work, terrible pay, and inevitable alcoholism." —oneofnothing999 "Surgeon. I dated one, and he had all kinds of issues. He was extraordinarily gifted, but I think treating people like cars in the shop can affect your brain a bit." "Flight attendant. Yes, you get to travel. But the pay is bad, hours are tough, and you need to deal with cranky people." "Graphic design. Overworked, underpaid, misunderstood, majorly undervalued. Anyone with Canva thinks they can do your job. Having to sling creativity on demand like a server at a diner burns you out so quickly." —pixelbit "Starting your own business. Everyone says you're your own boss and you're in charge of your own time, but the truth is you'll work more than you ever did for someone else. And every problem is your problem. Then you end up earning less anyway." "Physician, specifically primary care in the US. Yes, it pays well. But you sacrifice your 20s doing a ton of school, missing events, and racking up $500,000 in debt. Then you finally become an Attending, only to realize you can't do your job well because insurance companies are constantly fighting you to not pay for things that would make patients healthier." "Registered nurse. I've been doing it for 12 years now. If I could do any other job for the money I make now, I would." —BigAddam "Anything in sales. They always talk about how much money you can make. In reality, it's a lot of pressure and not that much money." "Construction trades. Everyone says 'don't go to college, go into the trades' these days. The pay is overhyped, and you run the risk of absolutely destroying your body by the time you're 40." —Puzzleheaded-Dog1154 "Lawyers, especially in Big Law. Long hours, terrible treatment by partners, and mind-numbing discovery review in the early years." "The military. And I say that as someone who served 20+ years." "Librarian. No, we don't get to sit around and read all day. We deal with the terrible public. Low wages and understaffing, too." —rainbowarmpit And finally, something to keep in mind before giving up on your dream career: "These kinds of comment threads destroyed my mental health in my early 20s and convinced me not to pursue a lot of my passions. If you're reading this and feel drawn to a career mentioned here, go for it! Reddit has a major negativity bias." H/T r/AskReddit
