Top 5 Depressing Occupations

It is hard to define what the best occupation or profession is. Some of us enjoy going to work while others dream of the day they will retire.

3. Servers

People working in the food industry are not the richest out there. Servers are paid minimum wages for rather a hard job. They mostly depend on tips, which is humiliating. There is no guarantee that you will always be given generous tips. More than that, some clients are too demanding and will make you do plenty of extra work without giving extra cash. Be prepared to deal with rude or drunk visitors. If you are a sensitive person, then being a waiter or some kind of server is not for you. Mistakes are almost impossible to avoid yet almost every client or guest will want his food to be served perfectly well cooked.

4. Social Workers

Social workers deal with people in need. Those might be homeless people, drug addicts, neglected kids and asocial families. You will hear a lot of horrible stories and witness hundreds of cases where people get beaten or even killed by their own family members. You will be asked to go to dirty houses and apartments to meet someone who does not even asks for help and will be rather aggressive towards you and everybody else. Being a social worker is quite a challenging mission and there are too few people who are strong enough to endure the stress. Keep in mind that your salary will not be the highest either.
