Today, I read an article about the top 10 worst jobs this year. This list includes my degree and three of my main skills and interests. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got frustrated looking for jobs and decided to take a quiz on best-fitting careers. My results speak for themselves. FML
Today, I found out that the money I spent on a very specific degree was wasted, because apparently, I don't qualify for a job at the place that told me I had to have that degree. FML
Today, my job application got denied once again. I looked over it, and saw that my roommate added "screwing over customers" and "hiding dead bodies" under my skills. FML
Today, it's six months until I graduate and I don't have a single skill that can get me placed in any company, but worst part is that I don't even want to work to acquire any skill. I'm fucking useless. FML
Today, I received a series of rejection letters from jobs, one after the other. Last night, I stayed up into the wee morning hours to apply to campus jobs I'm not qualified for, because I was classified as a part-time student due to an administrative error. FML
Today, as it has done in the last couple of years, my dream job has only been accepting applications from students continuing their degree in the fall. Literally, people with half degrees can get what I can't get with a full degree and experience. FML
Today, while updating my résumé, I noticed that in my list of achievements it said "Torturing middle school students". I meant "tutoring", but I guess this explains why I'm still unemployed a year after I started looking for a job. FML
Today, I learned that "unskilled labor" does not mean people who are bad at their jobs. I’m 22. FML
Today, I'm at the unique point in my schooling that I'm either extremely overqualified or extremely underqualified for every job opportunity that appeals to me. FML
Today, I realized I had misspelled "Education" on all the resumes I've been submitting. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't let that article dictate your life. Stay positive. They're YOUR interests and you shouldn't regret them.

If you love your degree and what you do, you won't be having too many problems with it. There will always be a place for you, and exciting places to go to as well.

So... What are they?

Well, these lists aren't always accurate or correct. I used to get paranoid at this one article where a couple of the worst degrees were things I was interested in, but I read other articles and they all say completely different things. Don't let a freaking article decide your life for you. If you love what you do, then go for it.

Why should it matter what a bunch of people perceive about what are the worst jobs? What's most important is your passion and enjoying doing the things you love most.

As long as you're happy and able to support yourself, I don't see a problem here. Just do what you want to do and you will be set.

Why are they the worst jobs, no openings, no advancement, or burnout?
