What do you think are some of the most overrated jobs in the world? I mean, overrated to the point where the person doing the job takes it way too seriously.
 
Newspaper Reporter. I use to think you had to run around and busting your ass, now that I'm one I realise it's just sitting on your ass waiting for something to happen.
 
Maybe I'm the only one, but I think pornstar is an overrated job.
 
Police officers. So many people go in 'for the action' and all that. And they end up spending half their life at a desk doing paperwork.

no, you're not the only one.
men drool over these girls who have had literally hundreds of men in them. it's disgusting.
plus, getting plowed 8 hours a day while faking orgasms doesn't take skill.
 
yes porn stars are overrated to an extreme,there ****es in front of cameras,they get calls to have sex with guys they dont know and have to do it,no one cares,they dont get benifits and often get sued for spreading disesses,not all of them are bad,there are som ein grinder flicks that have alot more potential and are pretty cool,then theres the ones like my sister who are huge ****es from the time there teenagers and have nothing going for them and they get dumber with each surgury,they also cant admit to what they do "yeah im in a new movie called within the flesh,its not porn or anything." jeez,i still want to punch her every time somthing like that comes out of her mouth but then i remember mabey somthing that goes into her mouth will give her a fatal disease and i relax my fist.
 
I want to point out that managers in upscale stores are way overrated,they get more s*** then the workers do and the pay is in constant flux and there under alot more pressure.

I second that. I mean...don't get me wrong...I like newspaper. But, trust me, the broadcasting world is much better.
 
I always believed models were overrated. They get paid to play dress up and walk a plank. (Ok runway).
 
I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding here; I thought this was a thread that was about people taking their own jobs way too seriously, not ones that are just generally overrrated.

In the case of the former, I'd say that any office manager, call centre team leader, or pretty much anyone who is in charge of menial office work, takes their job far to seriously, pushing facts and figures as though they mean something, and attampting to allievate the incredibly low office moral with 'hawaiian shirt Friday'.

I was a moderator for three different forums. I know how overrated that position is.

Professional sportsmans.

President/PM

Yeah, I wasn't directly referring to Dew or forum moderators in general. I was directing more towards those who take their own job too seriously, like a lower level IT manager, a retail shop supervisor etc.
 
What about holiday reps? Everyone seems to think it'll be a great job, but I can't see how wearing a uniform and shepparding tourists while having to be perky is all that great.
