What job do people take way too seriously?

Being an unpaid mod of a community owned by a private company that makes money selling advertising to you based based on data they collect from you.

"Influencer"

Being a general manager at any retail outlet

In America, every job. People make it their identity. It's the first thing they ask or tell people they meet most of the time. They make themselves what they do.

CEOs and high ranking business people, what they get to do is not work or work significantly less than a working class people therefore I have no respect for most of em

No one has said police yet?

Work shouldn't be the primary source of stress in our lives no matter what the job is.

I'll cop some shit for this one, but coffee baristas.

you put some grounds in a machine, twiddle some nobs and pour milk in a wave pattern

edit: judging by the amount of downvotes ive either pissed off all the Bachelor of Arts grads working as baristas or all the coffee snobs who still think making coffee is some sort of art that can only be done by the most highly trained baristas. Yes, I also love coffee. No, making it is not some sort of complicated thing which is the point of this post (and topic of this thread), and no, I am not disparaging anyone working as a barista (unless they are an Arts grad, sorry) because a job is a job and all jobs deserve respect

Park ranger. There are two kinds: chill and friendly, or the kind that make you show all your documents, prove your park stickers are valid, make you repark your car, and then scold you for being too loud even though the next nearest campsite is several hundred feet away and nobody has complained and you arent even being loud...

Chef. No I'm not calling you a special title and acting like this is the military and you are my commanding officer, we work at the Olive Garden.

Meter maids (people who see if people didn't pay to park)

All of them, I think.

Teaching. Everyone seems to think teachers are full of themselves until they become a teacher and become full of themselves themselves.

Programming. People treat it like a career, but fact is that unless your really good at it, your not going to make any money from it. I've found programming to be far more like art than work anyway.
