Depressing work



People who care for the elderly, change diapers and serve food have the most depressing jobs.

I'd have to agree Katyzzz!
I am one of those who change diapers for a living and though I wouldn't call myself depressed, its a tough gig. I can FULLY understand the concept of post-natal depression since having a child myself. But thats a whole other kettle of fish!

I did a stint helping at an old people's home in school for Duke of Edinburgh, it was the most depressing thing EVER.......I cant imagine anything worse and in my travels havent found many more depressing things, except maybe the slums of Madagascar where it isnt work that depressing, any job is a blessing, it is their lives that are depressing, almost like living in a toilet.....
but thats very monday bluesy talk

love your art today Katiezzzz, the next level

I read the article about depressing jobs and wrote an article for my professional blog in response. Folks do not realize how caregiviers and service oriented professions are so susceptible to depression. When you work with people for a living with differing experiences, responses, and attitudes, it can be quite challenging.

I try to be polite to food servers unles they've been particularly surly.

Working for the elderly ... several employment agencies I've been to trying to get extra casual jobs have pushed the idea of volunteer or low paid social work type roles onto me despite me being unable to drive and WITHOUT TESTING to see if I have any aptitudes in that area?

Disconcertingly wierd?
