The unhappiest jobs in America

You left out architect...Bachelor​s and Masters degress...registrati​on...and you spend most of your time doing working drawings on projects you didn't even design for low pay and now..no job.  It sucks.

how about fast food, stripper, prostitute, retail, college adjunct faculty, port-a-potty cleaner, miner, nursing home aide and exterminator?

This a measurement of whining, not actual unhappiness; all of these jobs except for sec guard require an education and do not require miserable physical working conditions; the real bad jobs are those that are poorly paid and make you work out in the elements; you know, the ones we pay illegals to do!

Welders are never happy. Why should they be? They get to breath foul smoke and get burned all day. Seldom do they get properly compensated. Wow! Great fun.

   Are you kidding?  I once worked as a security guard at EMC, and I LOVED it!!!  That was, by far, the BEST job I ever had!!!

Considering teaching? Don't unless you can give back 5 to 10 percent of your income for supplies, food, and clothing; work 55-60 hours a week; eat in 15 minute lunches, and get blamed for every everthing wrong in the American society. The kids are great, but administrators have no clue as to how to manage adults. Most have been in education their entire lives and have no idea that teachers are adults and need to be treated as adults and professionals. There is far too little parental support and to much blaming rather than accepting responsibility. Why do teachers leave, because it is limited in career development and because you can never master anything before something new or ten things new are added to your daily workload. Compare what a teacher does to a dentist. If a dentist has a patient and gives the patient a toothbrush and tooth paste and the patient refuses to do the daily maintenance, does the dentist get sued?  No, but the the teacher does! No Thanks...Leaving after 13 years. Should have left after 1.

safety engineer, has to be the the 1# nobody likes youi.....

I teach elementary, it is only for those that are prepared to do a lot of work in the evenings on weekends have a principal in your room all the time and have responsiblity for everything of each child. Paperwork goals homework lesson plans evaluations more evaluations high need students discipline challenges..It's a boatload of work. I taught high school that was a lot better. The summer off is nice, you don't get paid for it but it is a nice break. The kids are fun but challenging. One out of two teachers leave the profession, it is very challenging, you have to REALLY love it.

Social Worker should be at the top.  High burn out rate, low pay,  abused & threatened  by clients, ALWAYS expected to do more with less, public thinks we are over paid.   Administration thinks we are overpaid,  Not the field I would recommend for my kids!

forgot one of the least respected jobs--auto technician/reenginee​r the enginering/computer whiz/electrician/mac​hinist/saleman all in one.
