Top 10 Overrated Jobs

Half the time we get that question from our parents
"what do you want to be when you grow up"
these answers get predictable everytime
so this is more of a list of jobs that people want everyday
Now these jobs aren't bad, just a little too much to hear

1. Police Officer

   

   Aside from all the police brutality and tensions between the police and their communities, you should really consider that people don't just choose to be cops just to be cool. People who become cops do so because they want to serve in the name of justice. It is NOT just sitting around and eating donuts all day. Police risk even their own lives to protect their citizens and apprehend those that threaten the safety of others and society.

   You spend 3 quarters of a time as an officer doing paperwork, this is the same for every job. You know those civil engineers who build things and invent. Countless hours of planning, paperwork. What I'm saying is that ALL jobs are overrated to an extent.

2. Singer

   

   Honestly, while I do have an admiration for certain singers and actors/actresses, I really feel that there's a lot more jobs out there that deserve a higher wage/salary since those jobs require more tiring hours and effort. I do understand that the careers for talented people do require a degree of heavy practice and commitment, but let'e be honest here. Who do you think deserves to be paid more? A famous celebrity whose only merits are their talent, or more important workers such as risk-taking ones like firefighters and police officers and ones that work tirelessly to earn money for themselves and their families along with people in the STEM field who contribute to our society in a way that isn't merely entertainment and more or less something that can progress and change our world significantly?

3. Actor/Actress

   

4. Astronaut

   Overrated? The job is out of the world, figuratively and literally.

   With 0.065% acceptance rate, it's bound to get scorned by a particular group of people.

5. Restaurant Owner

   Not fun bossing people around

6. Cartoon Writer

   

7. Athlete

   Nothing wrong with playing sports as everyone has their own passion, but let's admit it. Athletes get paid a lot more than in any other job. And by a lot, I mean A LOT. While I understand athletes are no safer given their risks to concussions and bone-breaking injuries, their salaries really overshadow more important careers like firefighters and police officers. In other words, people who provide us entertainment are paid MORE than people who put their lives in even GREATER danger just to protect others.

   Honestly, I don't think they're as overpaid as people claim. These people had to dedicate their whole lives to getting where they are now (not just hours of training, but changing their diet), and surely they deserve reward for effort. Not just that, but they also have to risk serious injuries such as the ACL, concussions (which is very common), and broken bones. It's one of the hardest (if not the hardest) jobs to get into.

   Though I will admit, firefighters and police officers are much more important.

    But doctors are beneficial. They save lives and provide care for people who need it. This world needs doctors.

14. Voice Actor

    Voice acting may be fun, but when you do it professionally, it's a whole new thing.

15. Janitor

    

    You do kind of have to give credit to the janitors who are willing to take time out of their day to do work that pretty much no one else is willing to apply for.
