A recent AskReddit thread asked: "What type of job seems appealing but ends up being quite disappointing?” Out of the 4,700 responses the question garnered, we’ve chosen 17 of the most interesting ones.
While it might at first seem like a bit of a downer to pull back the curtain on some of these vocations, it can also instill a little more appreciation for the folks that manage to actually do them.
"I cringe every time I see someone say they want to live on a farm or ranch. It's hard, brutal work. Most people that say it will not last." "I thought it was going to be listening to awesome music all day . It was just putting stickers on everything, trying to sell an absolute rip-off of a store card" "After five years I can already tell my body will not be able to keep up with it till retirement.".
Humans need novelty, relaxation, creative expression, stimulation, opportunities to learn.
No job can fulfill all these needs.
Maybe we're better off accepting that as long as we're getting these needs met in other ways, then maybe we're not doing so bad after all.
