Top 5 Most Soul-Killing Jobs That You Can Take

In This Article:

There are some jobs that, while necessary, are not for the faint of heart. Many of these jobs can show the worst parts of humanity, and for those who are not a part of these industries, it is important to empathize and respect what these people go through on a daily basis.

This job involves you planning out events at your employer's behest. Normally, and hopefully, the only stress in this situation should come from the deadline. However, many people often overestimate how much work a single person or a small group of people can do, and end up shoving a boatload of work on someone who isn't able to handle it.

On a similar topic to the last one, being a wedding planner is an incredibly stressful job, regardless of the payoff. It involves many meetings with clients who often don't know what they want exactly. It is slightly understandable since each couple is planning their special day, but giving one person the task of continuously planning other's special days can get extremely taxing.

Still on the same branch, News Reporters are often sent off daily to write articles by a very close deadline, often with no breaks. They can be sent to places with raging thunderstorms, the aftermaths of a still living hurricane, or anywhere else on the drop of a dime to think of an article to write. Not to mention the backlash received from readers regardless of how good or bad their article was.

Military Personnel

A main problem with being a news reporter is being sent out without warning. That is life in the military. This doesn't even mention the obvious side effects of being sent into battle day after day with basically no will of your own. PSTD, insomnia, isolation, and anxiety are common problems that hound soldiers before and after they come home.

Retail

Finally we get to a job that arguably introduces you to possibly some of the dumbest people you can ever have the pleasure of meeting. While the average retail customer is a nice, well-behaved adult who wants nothing more than to get their stuff and leave, every so often you'll encounter one that seemingly operates solely on entitlement. Especially considering the fact that most people who take these jobs are teenagers, the stress can be overwhelming to often of the time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
