Most depressing careers are also some of the lowest paid
Which kind of workers have the highest level of job-related depression? According to a new survey, those occupations would include child care workers, home health care aides and other people who provide personal services. Where are the general corporate workers, stockbrokers and attorneys at? They're not to be found at the top of having one or more depression episode last year.
Money indeed creates some sense of satisfaction for many, as home health care workers and child care advocates generally have low wages -- along with the human factor weighing heavily on the daily agenda of people in this career field. Notice I didn't say 'workers,' but 'people.' I'm not sure the term "worker" is the best description here.
On the flip side, the least-depressing careers from the same study included those in the architecture, engineering, sciences and maintenance/repair fields.
