1. Healthcare workers
This group includes therapists, doctors and
nurses. These people tend to give and give
and give. Dentists seem to be the worst off as
no one wants to see them ever. Constantly
seeing folks die doesn’t help issues in any
manner.

2. Nursing home/child-care workers
When you are at the base level of feeding,
bathing, and caring for others who are
incapable of wiping their own butt, it takes
God’s grace to keep you firm and standing.

3. Wait staffed
These guys often get low pay and never catch
a break. And while on top of it, still receive a
lot of screams from bosses and customers
who never get satisfied.

4. Teachers
The pressure is from every direction. They also
rarely get off the clock as work is brought
home too. And most of them use their poor
pay to buy things their classroom needs! With
time, they learn to do so much with so little.
Most even take up labour jobs in the summer
to supplement their income. The public has no
idea, and doesn’t even seem to care!

5. Creative folk
Artists, writers, actors, musicians, entertainers,
and even programmers now!
Irregular pay checks, uncertain hours, and the
amount of isolation one is often exposed to
can wreak havoc on the mind.
You never are secure, never are sure about
anything. More, more, and more is demanded
from you every minute of the day!

6. Administrative support staff
You have to be on 100% at all times, and
change whenever the boss does.
Receptionists especially! Like a well-trained
dog, you never take your eyes off the pack
leader, or potential food.

7. Accountants and financial advisers
Other people’s money!
Handling thousands or millions for other
people and at the same time reassuring them
that it is going to be in their best interest,
while having absolutely no control in the
technical sense is the real definition of stress!

8. Salespeople/marketers
Many salespeople work on commission,
meaning you never know exactly when your
next pay check is coming in! Or if the last
account is going to suddenly quit on you. You
really are only as good as what just happened
to you the previous month.
It’s like sleeping on shifting sand.

9. Maintenance people
Every time there is something wrong or broken
they call you. Day or night, no one cares. And
it doesn't ever stop.
They only want to see you when something is
broken. But really you are the person who
needs fixing.

10. Lawyers
Everyone hates your guts. Every conversation
is tactical. Every word you say can cost or
make you money. Mistakes are scary.
Excessive hours, little time for family or
personal engagement, a highly competitive
field, and constant scrutiny, tend to make a
double life virtually mandatory.
Eventually the house of cards always falls.

11. Defense people
Combatants especially. Carrying around that
which can take away life in a single click isn’t
easy, coupled with uncertain posting and
unquestionable assignments.

12. Social workers
Constantly dealing with disaster and all the ill
processes that come with it.
Seeing the never ending line of abused
children, poverty, addiction and disability, it
really gets to you.

13. Sex workers
Having to touch people you ordinarily wouldn’t
come close to. Those unpleasant foul-mouthed
perverts.
Or watching helplessly as they touch you—Oh
lawd!


Conclusion:
Life is short, do whatever makes you happy!
If you can’t find it, keep dreaming of it while
in the meantime still giving your best at your
present job!
Be nice to anyone that renders a service to
you.
If they are exceptionally good, you can tip
them, or say a surprising ‘Thank you so much
for your service’.
If they are not good, don’t tip or thank them!
If they are nasty, complain to their boss. No
employee has the right to take out their
frustration on a customer.

....And N80k monthly pay amounts to being well paid?

Well, I guess you mean coming from their last last pay package.

It is well though.
