    Local politician … a member of town council but also a character that just hung onto any and all political positions related to local politics. He never did much expect make money for himself. If he didn’t get on council, he would try for mayor, and if he got neither, Financial Controller, Administrator, Manager, whatever, as long as it was with the town. He was in essence a salesman because he could talk circles around most people with political language and a bit of education, especially when he dealt with the uneducated or gullible people. It was basically his entire career and he’s well on his way to retiring after having done nothing for anyone else or the town.

    Elderly care. If I had to guess it’s not because they’re good at it, but more because you don’t really need to be skilled to get into it. Reputation-wise it’s a step above working at McDonald’s in this country (which is a shame).

    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”

        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.
