For most of us, work is a necessary part of life, but that doesn’t mean all jobs are respected as work. We’ve all wondered how some people actually get paid for what they do and a Reddit thread digs into this topic by asking, What is the most bullsh*t profession that actually exists?”
People have a lot of opinions on this one, as more than 15-thousand responses have come in so far, and these are some of the best.
- “Promotional speaker. ‘Let me tell you how I became successful charging you $10,000 to speak about how I get $10,000!’”
- “NYC apartment brokers. I hate having a middleman. The only way it would make sense to me is if they were there to negotiate on my behalf, but instead they are incentivized to do the very opposite”
- “Anyone who says they have an ‘investing strategy’ 100% makes money from selling this bullsh*t and couldn't make money investing in a million years”

- “Once worked at a company where they had social media officers, whose jobs were to go through instagram and like and comment on photos of hot people. They earned more than I did (no idea how)”
