29 Professions That Attract The Worst Kinds Of People, As Shared Online

As someone who worked HR for a medical clinic, I can vouch for this. I never wanted to yell "Grow the F-up!" more than when I had 30+ nurses to deal with. It's insane.

Had another nurse tell me I was a s**t parent for leaving my preemie in the SCN because I had "other responsibilities" as she nodded towards my autistic 3 year old. Same nurse physically assaulted my arm with her knuckle because I was loving and gently stroking my preemie's head. "You like that!? No!? Then don't do it to your baby!" No warning, just rammed that knuckle inbetween my bicep muscles at full force. Tears formed in my eyes... It hurt me in every way, physically and mentally. I was scared she would retaliate against my baby if I said anything so I just bit my tongue. Every one else was nice at MN Children's but f**k that one nurse.

I went to nursing school and became a nurse. I worked as an RN for a couple years before it just clicked that I hated being a nurse. So much toxicity, and little time to actually care about patients. I switched to the veterinary field and love it more than I could've imagined. I keep my license up to date but have no plans to ever return to the field. The thought of going back to nursing makes me want to cry tbh.

I've met SOME kind nurses. Most really are the most unempathetic, inhumane, condescending people.

I know six nurses in my family. All but one are catty, crass, unemphatic, and a couple are downright ignorant of their own job. Four don't, "believe," in evolution. One thinks manipulating patients to make decisions based on her personal beliefs is ethical. The one person I think is truly a good person, and good at her job, was moved to a desk position just before the pandemic. This might be the next career in need of a "all cops" type movement.

When I worked at the hospital it was horrifying how many of these nurses got into the profession just to net themselves a doctor husband - no actual interest in caring for patients

Husband is a physician. He’d rather be confined in a prison full of politicians and lawyers than have to spend 20 minutes with nurses. Yes, what they do is one of the most important roles in society, but it seems to attract catty, entitled people with a lack of emotional regulation.

I used to think you had to be really smart to be a nurse then so many were anti-vaxx and I knew one who was anti-vaxx and had her kids wearing pooka shells to detox them. What?! That being said, I still totally respect anyone who can be a caretaker, definitely not for me.

Narcissistic bunch for sure

My mom is a nursing assistant, and yeah, she talks all the time about the mean girls cliques, petty power tripping, and general nastiness.

Several people I've worked retail with were in Nursing school. The way they behaved at work and their toxic, high school mean girl personalities... if I were in hospital and any of them were my nurse, I'd DEMAND another nurse.

Dental Assistants. They too can be very high school mean girl....

3 of the Nurses that I knew in my adult life, where abusing narcotics in their personal lives. Made me look at the medical profession in a new light.

Psych nurses are the worst! MH professionals all have all our own emotional baggage. Makes for a bit of a mess.

Can confirm. Nurses eat their young.

As a retired nurse I would like to think nurses should be held to a higher standard. Unfortunately there are many immature and unprofessional nurses working in many areas in the field. If you experience anything less hold that person accountable even if it means report them to a supervisor. The only drama should be keeping a person alive and promoting wellness. (And keeping the doctors in line 🙂)

Adult bullying is real!

You know who’s worse than nurses? Doctors

It all starts in nursing school.

I have been a nurse for 35 years. I felt very lucky that my career started back in the late 80's. Most of the nurses I worked with were amazing, but a few were bullies, jealousand insecure. It does create a toxic environment, but you have to have a strong personality to put up with that. I also know a lot of docs that were verbally abusive and bulliee. Usually a letter to the administrator took care of that. My attitude was "I'm nit here to be someone punching bag", which included nurse, doctor, patient or family.

This pains me to agree but it is true. I wirk in a large family practice, hearing the way at least half the nurse speak to the patients is so sad, they are rude and so uncaring. I understand the are short staffed most days and their stress levels are high but the person they are dealing with doesn't deserve to have extra c**p projected on them when as the patient they are generally already dealing with their own stuff.

Any healthcare job really

Worked with a nurse once, all she and her friends did was drink and do drugs. Probably because they see so much death that they do their best to live to the fullest

Well, humans. What buffles me is the number of dangerous people in the business, not just having anti-vaxer "opinions" but acting on those.

As someone who went to nursing school for more than a minute, I honestly think this is 8n part because of how competitive it is to get into the ACTUAL program and then get treated like s**t.

So right ! Met all sorts of nurses during my ten years in ems. Some are amazing. So make you wish you could go to a different er.

I was a nurse for several years before burning out entirely and switching careers. OMG I knew it was toxic on a lot of the units but I guess didn't fully realize the extent until I left. The bullying can be insane.

This is interesting. According to FB, of the people I went to high school with who fit the description in this post, most became nurses. That's not to say they didn't turn out to be lovely people, which they very well may be, but if they haven't changed much, then this is alarmingly accurate.

I was 22 (40+years ago) and having my first child. The in-take nurse was absolutely horrible. Because she didn't see my husband right away she basically called me a slur because I didn't know I was supposed to shave down there and she thought I was just another unwed irresponsible person

My daughter is a nurse. I hope she doesn't deal with this c**p

Shocking. I’m shocked. This is my shocked face.

On the whole less than 1% of Law Enforcement Officers will ever have a problem of doing something bad or crossing the line. However that tiny group tends to commit a lot of problems (like the guy with Floyd's death, he had 17 excessive force and abuse complaints on his record before then), but DA's and Police Unions protect the bad ones, which allows them to flourish)

The most dangerous species on this planet!

I was in the marines and most higher ups are sociopaths, got promoted by kissing the a$$ of the sociopaths, have questionable mental stability, negligible intelligence, and power trip like it’s heroin. I couldn’t believe my life was in the hands of these people.

Pardon me but Cassandra and Monique are NOT executives.

That should not be classed as a profession.

Yep. The absolute worst, those people will see you and talk to you like you're nothing because they believe they know so much and are touched by God. Ugh! I have a graduate degree. Had to deal with this bs from these fools who wouldn't make it outside academia

Predators go where their prey is. If someone wants to prey on kids, they'll look for jobs that allow them access to (and authority over) kids

If you think they're there to help, remember who's paying their wages

Mine was fired for trying to turn our youth group into a cult. Perhaps it's a power trip thing.

I'm thinking this is more a studio exec problem than just a producer.

They basically make their money by siphoning wealth away from those who do actual work. They're pretty much economic parasites, like landlords

I went looking for a stockbroker five years ago. I didn't find one. They're an extinct species, in my country anyway. You can only find "investment brokers" these days.

Not bad people but I do think a lot of people start studying Psychology to try to get a handle on their own issues and are not always the most stable. I suppose the best ones figure their own sh*t out and are then able to help others

Absolutely not true. There are black sheep in every profession, but police are not shady figures in general.

I don't know how are estate agents in the world, but in my neigborhoud they went sick. The area became really attractive since we arrived there 4 years ago (not saying we made thé area attractive 😋). I have flyers in my lettre box every day from them. Do I want an estimation ? Do I want to sell? They have clients that want our house can we discuss a price ? We have a "stop pub" sticker on the box but it keep coming. They know one of the neigboor die? The have an offert for the widow the next day. An old woman in our street is sick and spend a few days at the hospital, they "casualy" asked questions like " is she going to Come black? Maybe she should sell thé house and go to a retirement home? Do you have the phone number of her kids?" They make everyone sick and they are going to end up being beat up by an angry grand ma pretty soon.

Actually... Idk I disagree with this one! I'm in recovery and have worked with many, many substance abuse counselors and professionals and I can truly, honestly say I've never had the misfortune of meeting a bad one they have all been super kind and helpful and just amazing. They saved my life I have nothing bad to say about any of the ones I've worked with ❤️ that's a good thing right?! Most or a lot of them are also recovering addicts so it's possible that is the reason for my good experience. Actually I've had a lot of terrible experiences at hospitals like emergency rooms and stuff and once the ambulance people were really mean and scary to me.

Wow! I have never thought of that ... but it's true.

I just don't have respect for them intellectually, at least not to the heights they think they deserve. Working in construction, I've had architects ask me to do some of the stupidest and most dangerous things I've ever heard. The adage is true; architects are engineers who can't math

Depends on the sales by extension: marketing. There’s some truly amazing people in that industry but also some genuinely scary psychopaths

I'm amazed that influencers aren't near the top of this list.

Mercenary of any nationality

Maybe I've just been lucky, but every tow truck driver I've interacted with has been extremely kind. One pulled me out a snow bank and refused payment, another drove me several miles looking for an open motel (before smart phones).

The modelling photographer I met was the nicest photographer. The most jerkiest ones are the Walmart/Sears portrait photographers. Every time we go for family portraits the photographer speaks to me like I'm an imbicile, snaps at me for blinking (my eyes are very sensitive to light) and one time a couple of them at the Walmart studios argued in front of me who was going to do our portraits while giving me dirty looks. School photographers, too. What's up with them?
