Identifying the worst jobs ever is a clearly subjective experience, as everyone will have different ideas as to what the worst jobs ever are. Some might name jobs that involve manual labor. Others might name jobs that involve being behind a desk all day. Others might call the worst jobs ever ones that do not pay over 100k.
Objectively speaking though, there are jobs that can be both physically and mentally stressful. For example, jobs that involve working around or with hazardous materials, or jobs that involve a lot of extreme manual labor. Also, jobs that involve working with a demanding public, or with an at-risk population. Jobs that only pay the minimum wage, or a very low wage, can also be very tough. Keep in mind, however, that there are people in jobs like the ones described in this paragraph who are perfectly happy or satisfied with their line of work. What satisfies one person does not always satisfy another person.
When it comes to the worst job for you, take the time to think about what you love and hate about working, as well as what you like doing and don't like doing. Also, take into consideration how much money you need to live the life you want to live. Thinking through all of this should help you avoid taking on the worst job ever!
