Worst job in the world

by Guest Sun Oct 26, 2014 11:50 pm

....is that of the ones who conduct the gambling games in casinos. I don't know how they can bear to see prople losing hundreds and thousands of dollars everyday. It doesn't matter that some people win coz they are going to gamble that money again until they lose. Never heard of anyone get rich through gambling. I got so queasy watching ppl lose. i couldn't bear to stand there for more than half an hour. Don't know how the game conductors tolerate it every single day. They probably become numb to it all. I can't think of sny other job which is worse than that. So depressing!

yeah, I am at the sin city.

It is not. The gamblers come to this place voluntarily. Man's greed is from time immemorial. It started may be much earlier than Mahabharatha?

What do you think about financial markets? Not everyone wins; not many people have knowledge about the markets yet people invest and lose money.

I would think the worst is those who work in slaughter houses. I saw one documentary where the low paid workers who actually handle animals and more often they get sick mentally as well as bacterial infections due to the business indifference towards their health/well being and the environment is not clean as it required to be. And most are illegal/legal/immigrant workers.

Being in the healthcare industry, the most depressing job I have seen is that of nurses who take care of terminally ill patients, particularly children. Gamblers have a choice, these patients don't.

I concur...anything to do with misery of humans, particularly children must be the most depressing. I dont think I could do it. gambling is meh, those ppl are sad sacks but it's a choice they've made.

that said, most depressing job in the world is not necessarily the worst and vice versa

by Guest Mon Oct 27, 2014 10:29 am

I do agree. Watching terminally ill children die everyday is the most depressing job ever. Worst job is probably the one at slaughter homes where they butcher animals. The game conductor job comes after the above two.

That's funny Kinnera!

Ah! just the horror of being around people like you vacationing, gambling, having a good time (I assume!)
But could be worse..if it was Saint City collecting money from all the Saints:)

I suppose..it all depends on the day..not the job itself...everyone is kind of densitized by what they do..no matter how depressing it may seem..even the jailer/person designated to execute the death penalty sentence, the aides who work in a govt hospital in a morgue..or the Anatomy hall assistants-who have to pull cadaver after cadaver from a tank filled with bodies, the workers who clean up human remains after an accident...the soldier or terrorist who has to kill or be killed..can go on and on...do become desensitized. *Interestingly, most of these people stay in their jobs for years.."by choice"..and some of the "sanest".. people one can meet!

To me..dealing with people who are suffering - physically and emotionally can take a toll..but, if there some genuine service motivation to help others with passion, determination and dedication..one can deal with it..have to be careful not to burn out. There is nothing more rewarding, when one knows- whatever little one can do..made a difference..to help in some way. It's those occasional moments, which makes everything worth it.

I think dealers cope up with the guilt factor eventually. They get to earn no matter who wins or loses, so that's another factor. Outside the glamor of casinos, they don't know what's getting destroyed for the gamblers. Most gamblers only play what they can afford to lose, while others don't. So, guess it's hard to attach to the guilt factor for too long.

by Guest Mon Oct 27, 2014 10:45 am

Maria, there is a difference between the most purposeful, service oriented and doing good to the ppl but mentally tough jobs Vs the most purposeless, useless, least job satisfying and watching ppl go down the drain jobs. The game show job comes in the second category.

As for me, I am enjoying the great food and awesome shows here. All I am doing is eat, sleep and roam around aimlessly the entire day. No play for me Smile

I certify this as an authentic Tracy Whitney post.

I guess and the justification that they (gamblers) are doing it out of their will keeps their gulit/feeling bad factor at bay, i guess. I couldn't take it watching them. It made me so off my mood.

I would add this one too. The work of the 'hospice' worker who goes to the home of a terminally ill but conscious patient who will be briefed on his 'final' paperwork related to property/poa/will/last wish etc. Not giving much hope but also not talking too much -ve and they have to face new patient/family often and tell them to 'prepare'. It must be very hard for them not only to deal with the patient but also the family members who will cope with the final days of the patient. Based on the age/awareness level of the family members they have to convey the message correctly and appropriately.

by Guest Mon Oct 27, 2014 11:03 am

I agree, flute. A good friend of mine is going through that right now. A dear one of his is terminally ill. It's hard to see his agony.

by Guest Mon Oct 27, 2014 11:05 am

I would imagine manual scavengers would jump at the opportunity of looking after terminally ill people.

Max, in that case the hospice workers who take care of the bed ridden, cleaning the bed pans; the faeces and urine of the patients, the gynecologists who work around the faeces, blood and amniotic fluids while delivering the babies, post mortem docs who work on dead bodies, etc have the worst jobs in the world?

i am not sure i understand your point. are you saying that the manual night soil carriers of india, the people who manually have to wade through human waste are doing a job that is comparable to the people in your post?

you are traveling in a train in india. some moron shits outside the toilet and the shit is littered on the floor (happens frequently even in AC compartments) What do you do? Call the TC and request for it to get cleaned or refuse to have anyone clean it coz it's a dirty job? or will you clean it yourself?

The scavengers are doing a lot of good to the society. Have some respect and appreciation for what they are doing. Don't call it the worst job.
Can the game dealers/conductors feel the same?

"She said that we are born to do this. First, we clean the waste of others and then we get to eat," Rajni recalls her mother saying.

Now 21, Rajni remembers how sick she felt for most of her childhood; the stink emanating from the excrement; and the flies that followed her when she carried the waste in a basket fetched from the households in her village in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.

"The worst days were when it rained. The waste would drip onto your neck and shoulders," she told Al Jazeera. "You wanted to keep throwing up."

i am surprised you keep making a ridiculous comparison. are you serious? i am wondering if you even bothered to read that article.

why do you think the indian govt has outlawed manual scavenging even though the law is not enforced always?
