I mean shitty as in immoral, unempathetic, pathological liars, untrustworthy, selfish
Cops. Without a doubt. Its the career path for highschool bullies who want authority and respect, but are too stupid to become doctors or lawyers, so they pick up a badge and a gun as a shortcut to “respect by implied threat”
Basically anything related to commerce & accounting
The school bully to cop pipeline is real
MLM. I know it’s not a career but they seem to think it is so.
Car salesman.
Some of the shittiest people I know are in sales and upper management/executive
I learnt recently that some majority of CEO types are psychopaths.
Well the top CEOs have the traits of sociopaths
Finance, lawyers, sales…
Several assholes i knew became cops
One of my schoolmate was a serious asshole. Our guesses for his future were either he’d be a lawyer, or he’ll make a career in the FDP (a more money for the rich kind of political party here, with a “liberal” label).
I was not surprised to learn that he is lawyer, working for exactly that party.
Grüezi ;)
Cops and ICE agents.
Roles where the company matters more than the people to accomplish strategic business goals and initiatives. Where public relations matters and they are politically nice to your face but not behind closed doors.
Roles where to get ahead, you need to be better than someone else so putting people down (gossip, bashing, other stupid games) is normal. Encourages office politics and power is important.
Where being caring and compassionate doesn’t get you ahead.
Human Resources. It’s almost like all the pretty, cool girls from highschool- the bullies, the mean girls- went into HR.
Not targeting anyone in particular. There are lots of kind people in HR.
finance, but then I went to the University of Chicago
Just popped up in my rss feed about the Gracias donation. $20 million from Musk’s buddy and DOGE douche. Keepin’ it classy, UofC.
Sales. Every fuckin time
He became a cop.
Positions of power attract the corrupted
The worst part is that it’s not just that it’s a position of power, it’s that there’s also very little else about it that’s desirable. Your entire job is to show up places and tell people to stop doing things they want or feel that they need to be doing, and often that they’re willing to physically attack you for interfering with. The pay is also pretty mediocre overall. So if you want overall pleasant interpersonal interactions or a decent wage, you’d have to go elsewhere. If all you want is power over other human beings, that job will be a great fit for you.
In my area, cops get paid more than doctors a lot of the time. It’s supposed to mitigate bribery but it ends up attracting greedy, power hungry people more than not.
I’m an attorney and I’ve met more than a few with “Dark Triad” (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) personality traits.
