“Which Profession Has The Most Deranged People?”: 40 Jobs That Often Attract Strange People

The louder the bible thumping, the bigger the hypocrite.

Please don't lump everyone together. Our pastor is kind and caring. Our church family has helped me through some painful times. No one has asked for anything. They don't even pass a collection plate. There's a box in the back if you want to contribute. Christian's are flawed people just like everyone else. I don't go to church because I think I'm better than anyone, or that I have all the answers. I go because I know that I don't. I go to praise my Heavenly Father, because He has given me more than I could ever deserve, for free.

I have know a lot of Catholic priests, and most of them are just people, with their good and bad sides. Never heard one saying that he is speaking for God, even if some think that they are God XD

...cut to the chase: never trust anyone who claims to speak for God.

joel osteen any one? wonder how many of his congregants get to use his yacht?

Retired nurse. Thankfully, one of the nice ones. Co-workers and families loved me. But, I've seen too many younger know-it-all nurses who needed to learn that just because you have a degree doesn't mean you know everything. And, I was happy to take them down a few notches. Don't come on my floor acting like you're God's gift to the medical field because I'll make sure you get knocked off that self-imposed pedestal right quick. I've done it to a few doctors in my time, too. Leave your ego in the parking lot and take care of your patients.

I have been chronically ill since I was a teenager and it has to catastrophic illness now that I am older. I have been in and out of hospitals and now live in residential care. All of my hospital nurses were wonderful and heaven sent. The only nurses I have ever had issues with have been the lower level LPNs at the residential level. Some are worked past what they are ready for, some are inexperienced and then there are the arrogant entitled pain in the a*s ones. Good lord to they make your day hell. My body is broken not my mind and if one more snotty jumped little thing talks down to me I am going to have to go medieval on her a*s!

Worked as a cna and can confirm this. Never thought I'd be good at the job but my residents loved me. Who would have thought treating them like PEOPLE and not just another task would be a thing in Healthcare? (FYI alot of cnas don't get it)

There are some very nice nurses. To those ones, thank you for your dedicated service and care. It makes a big impact on the healing process and being able to move on after the hospital stay. To the ones who are sadistic, you can suck on a lemon sourball.

As a nurse, I concur. I try to keep individually-wrapped treats on hand to surprise my coworkers with, in case it’s just a low blood sugar moment.

Haha! I'm a life coach. And for the person saying I need money to pay my bills - that's kinda how work goes. But honestly many life coaches are...interesting. And many go to fly by night training, if any. My training was intense, and I'm part of a regulated group of international coaching standards. I could lose my credentials if I act unethically but I'd say less than 5% of so called coaches belong to the international organization. It's a tough business and sadly the most successful are often the most shady!

My SIL is a "certified" life coach... she is also has bipolar schizoaffective disorder...

Life coach??! Rich people problems. Next!

Jodi Hildebrandt comes to mind.

Total scammers.

The phrase I despise most on this planet after "do you have a relationship with jesus" is "it is an immune booster". f**k right off.

Same for Gym monitors/ personal trainers. Most of them are just poele who have substituted religion for fittnes.

This needs to be absolutely higher!

Good dieticians are amazing - so pragmatic too. Disordered nutritionists are common and unfortunately promulgate a lot of that through traditional and social media and normalise/popularise some really unhealthy things. I know at some universities there are very high rates of eating disorder among nutrition students.

I wanted to loose some weight and got f****d over by a nutritionist. She told me the worst thing I was currently eating was fruit cereal (oats, raisins the usual) with some fresh fruit and yogurt. Too much sugar

I would trust the therapist who can relate to their client than a pompous therapist who was raised in a healthy, stable family and thinks therapy "fixes" people.

I like that the mental health people I've had contact with seem to often have some own issues, because they can relate

I found a therapist who has done wonders for helping me improve my life. She is every bit as screwed up as I am, thus being both knowledgeable and relatable.

Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you. Friedrich W. Nietzsche

Yes I agree with this, I feel like one has to have "damage" to help "damaged people" (I use damage loosely for lack of a better term). But my therapist also saved my life

This is stupid. MMA fighters endure far less head trauma far less often than boxers. And both of those are far less than American football. People that don't like MMA are generally ignorant of how much safer, and how much more fair it is than boxing.

Any fighting sport, in general.

They choose that path.
