I have a hard time believing that job titles with "senior" and "director" and "manager" are more hated than all of the various menial, labor-intensive, low-pay jobs that are out there. This list might be more accurately titled "Jobs That People Who Cruise The Internet All Day Complain About Most Often."

I think your co-workers and your working environment has as much impact on whether or not you hate your job as the job itself. For one summer in high school I worked at Taco Bell and although the job itself was crap the people there made it bearable, even fun, on many occasions.

Those jobs all seem pretty sweet, actually. I've been senior web developer and IT guy before and when I watch a movie like Office Space where the main character is whining about his job I want to punch him in the cock (love the movie but come on, the characters are assholes). This article looks like a study in white people's problems.
Except the marketing weasels. They can DIAF.

I have to agree with you. As I said in an earlier post, I do 2 of the jobs on the list. And my job is friggin' AWESOME. Anyone complaining about doing this is either in a crappy work environment, or they are one of those people that just biatch about everything.

Of the many jobs I've had in my life, I've taught HS, worked at a garbage company, worked retail, worked for the DoD, and worked in a bank. By far, the worst one I've ever had and will NEVER do again, no matter how desperate for cash I am, is waitressing. I give credit to people who can do it but I just have too much hatred for humanity to do that again.

I've been a law clerk (i.e. #7 on the list). I've been in food service. I've been in retail (for Wal-mart). I've survived all of it.

Senior Web Developer? Really? The job where you can cherry-pick what work you get to do and what work you get to throw on the people below you.
Same goes for like 70% of this list.

Really? Try wearing a shiatty uniform and having to clean grease traps, wash dishes and take care of all the back room stuffs in a fast food restaurant. You get paid shiat wages and you never quite feel clean. Then do the cooking of the 'food', too. Yeah, that's a dream job, I tells ya.
Or, hell, being a roofer in the SouthWest. Kick ass!
Try working in a nursing home taking care of old people who can't remember, are depressed and don't want to be there. Try feeding them, cleaning up after them, giving them baths.
Who writes this shiat?

WTF, I love running the CNC at my shop. Then again, I do the full bit - boss hands me a drawing and I hand him a part; it's not the same damn thing day after day. Plus, he lets me use it to make my own projects. There's plenty of people you can borrow a $5 hammer or a lawnmower from; friends that'll lend you their $10,000 tools are harder to find.

I knew a guy whose job was cutting the assholes out of chicken carcasses. 8 hours a day. In a refrigerated warehouse. That would qualify as a horrible job. He actually lasted 8 months.
I knew another guy who worked for Motorola. His job was to count the legs on chips to make sure that they had all 8 legs. He lasted 6 months. This was about 1984. He then spent 3 months in the psych ward at the local hospital, decompressing. That was a pretty horrible job.
Oh, and both of these jobs paid minimum wage. Wheeeeee ;)

Try this for a bad job - NBC decontamination specialist. The temperature in the shade was over 110 degrees, we were wearing rubber and charcoal suits and gas masks. Set up a giant decon tent, then double time a half mile away to where the 'injured' were being dropped off. Cart them back on stretchers, run them through the tent. Then break down the tent and do a mock decontamination of yourself, which includes rubbing powdered charcoal all over your body. Then clean everything up and do it again in a few days. I cold pour sweat out of my boots when we were done; about 15 pounds worth in three or four hours.

Temp accountant at a non-profit. I've spent the last month and a half going over check registers and spreadsheets making sure that they spent the correct money from the correct fund and coded it to the correct account. And the day I run out of stuff to check, I'm out the door. Worse than anything on that list of dream jobs. Seriously, being a CnC machinist would be cool.

I had a job right out of college making rubber playground mulch. The black bits of rubber were loaded into a bin, that fed it on a conveyer for painting (brown!) and drying. The job was to plant myself in front of the blower at the end of the conveyers (that sent the mulch to a giant bag) to make sure the damn thing didn't clog.
Oh how I miss it.

I work in online marketing and I just love it. No one knows what I'm doing all day, so everyone leaves me alone. And, once in a while, I'll actually do some work and get the site ranked organically for some random, useless keyword that some executive mentioned in a meeting. I always get big kudos from management for that. I am also really good at manipulating the Web analytics reports so that I can take credit for all of the revenue and leads generated by the website.
The best part is that all the IT/Dev guys, who are 3x smarter than me on average, are too lazy to take the 2 hours it would require them to learn SEO and Analytics, so I'm the only one who knows it, and they can never fire me!

8, 5 and 4. Well, not senior web developer. I'm the guy who updates the content on the websites.
Harry, please upload this 6 meg pdf file to a drop down list. Label the file Security Measures 2012 and make it show on the drop down January 2012 - Security Measures and Countermeasures in a Challenging World.
Okay. Not a big deal. Just some copy, edit and save. But then they write back and want to know why the 325 page, 6 meg file takes so long to load in their browser.
Harry, it looks nice but it takes over 45 seconds to load in my browser. Can you fix this?
Yes, please upgrade your browser to Microsoft Firefox Chrome 12 (SeaMonkey) or newer. Be careful. There's a Mozilla and Google browsers with similar names. They try to steal customers from each others. Your operating system may not support this state of the art browser so you should probably upgrade your computer to Ubuntu 7 Snow Leopard. If your computer is outdated, you might as well upgrade it as well. Demand an HP Dell Gateway 2000 with a triple quad processor and at least 6 tb of ram.

This kind of thing. Google shop the term 'CNC machine' and look at the prices. $10,000 is about how much my boss could get for his, used and as-is.
