Top Industries That Attract 'Terrible' People
If you've ever wondered if other people perceive your job negatively, this post is for you. In one Reddit thread (which you can see here), people discussed the career fields they think have the most "terrible" people, and there were some very interesting takes. I've rounded up 18 different answers – let's see if your industry made this list: "I think, while not all people in Human Resources are terrible, the field does attract the kind of people who are looking to lord it over others. Busybodies, gossips, insecure people who let a little bit of power go to their heads." "HOA Management. Almost cost me my sanity. Thank goodness I left that field." "Spammers and scammers." –Express_Gas2416 "Cops. Even most of my buddies who were good guys before becoming cops became douchebags." "Nurses are either the sweetest people on earth or the devil." "Fitness, especially those who think they are 'influencers.' Bunch of narcissists and fake personas." –Superb-Attitude9606 "Anti-union consultants." "I used to work in meteorology, and while I met some good people in the field, I met A LOT of condescending assholes. That's a big reason why I no longer work in that field. It was taking a huge toll on my mental health." "For a year, I worked in loan sales (predatory max-interest loans targeting people who can't get loans anywhere else), and about 75% of my job was collecting. Skip tracing, digging through their social media, calling family members, etc. They wanted me to take over my own branch, and the money would have been great. I just could not do it." "Paparazzi." –Gizm00 "My mom was a home nurse who was also sometimes sent to do elderly care at aged care facilities. She would frequently get upset at both some of the staff and some of the management because of how badly some elders were treated." "Corrections officers. A lot of them are narcissistic predators, especially in my experience as a former CO who worked in 2 different maximum-security state prisons." "Marketing. I've been working in the industry for more than a decade, have had roles all around the world, and the overwhelming majority of people I've worked with have been immature, insecure, conceited, irascible, narcissistic, antagonistic, and, above all, pathologically self-absorbed. An absolute nightmare to be around." "That girl from high school who slides in your DMs on Instagram with the 'hey girly!' trying to sell you her fit tea." "Surgeons. I say this as someone who wants to be one. You need the perfect mix of insanity and egomania even to think you'll make it there, and the prestige of the career only further attracts those people." "The money only adds to it, as does the reaction when you tell others what you do. I'd say the douchebaggery of a surgeon is 40% learned from the pressure and abuse of academia/training, 20% internal ego, 10% how others treat them, and maybe 30% totally justified."–RegionEducational366 "Real estate. Narcissism runs rampant." "Lawyer here. We're a bunch of pretentious assholes who really like to argue about minutia and get paid to do it. Here's a dirty secret: half of the time, we don't actually agree with our client. But since they pay us to argue for them, argue we will!" And finally, "Entertainment industry. Far too many stories of rich people with too much power subjecting young and weak individuals at the bottom of the barrel to sexual harassment and promising success based on lies and promises that they don't intend to keep." What else belongs on this list? Let me know in the comments!
