Could the most useless job be the one where you have to write DVD "reviews" for the magazine they hand out for free at Video Ezy? Cover blurbs are fine but not when they are masquerading as a true review.

As to more noble pursuits, how good are midwives? A variation on the equally noble profession of nursing I know, but they are literally at the frontline of life.

However, I don't think they can tick off Point 4 on your list "Nobody ever tells you to 'go away' or swears at you"!!

Hey, I'm a lawyer and I can tick all 10, I guess sometimes the exception proves the rule?

Honesty? My job is a total wank. Any technology company corporate jobs are wanks. Who cares what mobile phone models we need? Who cares if we are lacking speed in our network?

That's why I am ditching it to become a writer, or at least do something more meaningful.

That said, I can actually tick off a lot of the stuff on your list, but that's only because people are so dependent on technology these days.

Joanne
I am a psychotherapist and work with folks who have many complex issues. My career is very rewarding however, sometimes my job is a bit of a wank.....


3. At the end of the day you can see the results of your labour
it sometimes takes weeks and months to see results

4. Nobody ever tells you to ‘go away’ or swears at you happens all the time

6. People don’t avoid your calls
yes they do

7. Nobody ever threatens to sue you
Not yet but you never know. I have worked with many pissed off people!

8. Nobody ever tells you they want a ‘second opinion’
I covet second opinions

But I am safe with the rest!

Great Post!

Miswanderlust, don't ever think psychotherapists do a wanky job! You guys are the bloody heroes! The unsung ones...
And just because you could tick off so many things on my list means I need to go back and revise my list. I hear you - you get abused for being helpful... that happens. I used to counsel women in a women's crisis centre, and eventually had to stop.
Thanks for your insightful remarks,
Jo

If your article on the six foot track inspired one person to start running, then I'd say you're on the list of lifesavers too.

For all its waffle, there is a really important line in 'Desiderata' - "Do not compare yourself with others, for always there will be greater and lesser than yourself"
