Social workers are sooooo underpaid! I guess it's sort of regional though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-738507 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 23:23:07 +0000 googly-eyes 738507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I disagree with the rankings... I went from one job to another field (got an offer but chose to stay home with lo) which I consider way better (both are low 100s) and dh is #166 but currently doing a stint (due to city budget cuts) as #189. Yippee, two low ranked jobs..lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-738463 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 22:13:33 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 738463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The closest thing to what I do is #38 - computer programmer... Not sure how I feel about this list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-738447 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:58:45 +0000 IRunForFun 738447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: Electrical engineer is #98! And artist is 148 and may encompass your job... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-738437 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:51:17 +0000 irene 738437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My job isn't even there (graphic designer / illustrator / art director). Neither is DH's (electrical engineer). We are screwed lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-738427 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:43:24 +0000 travelgirl1 738427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: Yeah I used to enjoy the concerts and theatres, but having to file at the end ruined it a bit. I did get to interview my childhood hero though, which pretty much made my entire year and made the whole job worth it. I loved working for a paper, but am a bit worried about the future in terms of job security. I made the most of those press trips while I could, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-738408 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:34:07 +0000 IRunForFun 738408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: Hahaha true! The paper I work for now, I don't get a ton of perks, mainly I get to go to lots of events free - concerts, wine tastings, fairs, sporting events, things like that. The paper I was at before I did get beauty products though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-738393 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:27:06 +0000 travelgirl1 738393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: Ha ha, I'm a reporter too (or was, I freelance now as I'm a SAHM). They're obviously not considering the perks of working for a newspaper though - I got more free holidays, meals and makeup than I can remember! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-738371 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:18:39 +0000 Mrs. Pen 738371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's job is ranked 14... but I don't think it's all that great and neither does he hahah!</p> <p>My job is 35... I'm actually surprised it's not lower just because they pay so little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-738048 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:35:50 +0000 indi 738048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: Amen. Somedays it's all *goldstar awesome!* and other days I feel like "whyyyyyy did you go to law school? Why?!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-738037 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:30:33 +0000 lilteacherbee 738037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a cross between #93 and #137. I have the college degree and training of an elem school teacher, but I work as a pre-k teacher in a private setting (but a public program). I get paid more like #137 (less than 20k/year). Ughhhhh I would NOT teach if I didn't enjoy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-738003 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:19:26 +0000 Anagram 738003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm #88, I guess. But that's for the general "librarian", and I think being a school librarian is probably very different from being a public librarian. I love my job (hello, working only 9 months a year!), so the lower pay seems like a fair trade-off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-738002 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:19:18 +0000 IRunForFun 738002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsInformation: Yes, ranked just above us, so it would definitely be an upgrade! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-737997 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:17:13 +0000 yerpie110 737997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother is an actuary (ranked #1).<br /> Lucky him! </p> <p>DH's job is ranked #32 and mine is ranked #58.<br /> Not too bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-the-worst-job-in-america-how-about-you#post-737994 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:15:18 +0000 MsInformation 737994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irunforfun: On second thought, let's upgrade and become lumberjacks!

When you made your original comment, I thought you meant an attorney should be higher than 117 because it was such a good job! </p> <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: Yeah, I'm not sure how much longer I'll stay in this particular role.

I get why the job is ranked so low, but yeah ... it's a field you go into because you love it! </p> <p>Going back would be tough with an LO, though. </p>
