The kinds of jobs and occupations that won't make you want to get in the car and drive yourself to work
Overview
Hello there, you lovely calamity that is invigorating... In point of fact, around four in the morning, because the "passion project" evolved into "passion for overdraft fees." We would like to welcome you to the nightmare that is the world of jobs and occupations, where the term "career ladder" refers to getting out of ramen debt as your boss treats you like a Roomba that is not working properly. We have all been guilty of scrolling through TikTok's "day in the life" flexes, which feature baristas posing with lattes as if it were Cannes, only to wake up in the misery of remote work, with our ears silent and our hearts numb. In all seriousness, however, there are some jobs that are acceptable scams, while others are war crimes against humanity. My ranking of vocations ranges from "bearably broke" to "delete your resume." I am your insane guide, and I am powered by three Red Bulls while also being spiteful. There is no frivolous content on LinkedIn; only brutal truths for your Gen Z a**. Allow us to make a joke about capitalism together.
