There might be certain aspects of a job that tend to attract the wrong people for the role. For example, due to a good salary or prestige, it might be tempting to pick a career one doesn't actually enjoy working at, eventually underperforming and being grumpy to colleagues. Or it could also be a seemingly easy job that some people believe they can do without proper training, while in fact putting themselves and others in danger with their inexperience.

This is, of course, not to say that there aren't great professionals working in these fields, but to emphasize that sometimes the industries’ quality and image might suffer from people who are not qualified. These Redditors tried to raise awareness by answering one Redditor's question: "What industry attracts the wrong people that actually aren’t qualified?"

People List 30 Industries That Work Like Magnets For People Unqualified To Work In Them Law Enforcement.

It attracts bullies who claim to want to help people but most of them don't care and, worse, they don't have the right mentality. Of course, the job doesn't help. But the ones who end up hired are the ones who love using force on people are have a sadistic nature. They love causing problems for people.

This is one of the things that has generated so much hatred for the police. They need better training and the correct attitude.

Let's be clear: there are good cops, there are bad cops. The presence of bad cops doesn't take away from the goodness of good cops. But also the existence of good cops doesn't magically excuse the bad cops. The problem is there's enough of the bad ones that the good ones can't make enough of a difference to change the culture. They need sweeping culture changes from the top down.

They are often business oriented people with little to no experience in the health field. So they have no idea what those on the front line actually do. For them it's all about profitability.

People List 30 Industries That Work Like Magnets For People Unqualified To Work In Them Based on my current job, Mental Health work.

Instead of attracting people who are actually healthy and would give good advice, it seems to **overwhelmingly** attract workers who are themselves deeply traumatised, and have HUGE rescuer/saviour complexes, which usually just winds up deeply traumatising their clients even more.

People List 30 Industries That Work Like Magnets For People Unqualified To Work In Them Veterinary medicine.

Many people decide to go into vetmed because they 'love animals'. That's not enough.

You have to be able to deal with people, because you're going to be treating the pet AND educating the owner, you have to be able to multi-multi-multi-task, deal with gross/sad/terrifying/depressing/angry/stinky animals and people, all while holding your bladder for hours, starving, getting yelled at by clients, answering the phone, writing in charts and trying not to forget all the stuff that need to write down, order, put away, clean...

It's not just "playing with puppies and kittens all day". Yes, I've been told that I was lucky to have that job, because that must be what I did.

I feel like the mean and grumpy nurses aren't the inexperienced ones who can't do their job properly, it's the ones who've been serving people for so long they've dried up all their empathy because people suck. They know what they're doing, they just can't deal with the people anymore. If you can't empathize with that..... then maybe you've been a career nurse?

People List 30 Industries That Work Like Magnets For People Unqualified To Work In Them Phlebotomy. Everyone thinks they can find a vein and put a needle in it, but in my experience after nearly 15 years you either have it or you don't. I've trained hundreds of people over the years and only a handful would I call good. Even fewer of them would I consider the ones to call when someone comes in that says nobody can ever get their blood. I would say at least 3 times a day someone tells me they can't find a vein on someone and I put a tourniquet on their arm and feel something in less than 3 seconds.

People List 30 Industries That Work Like Magnets For People Unqualified To Work In Them Acting. Just like anything else, acting is a craft and it takes training, practice, and experience to get good at it. But people think it's something you can just... do with no qualifications. The worst part is because of the weird way acting works, some of those people do end up getting work.



Politics is another one. It blows my mind when someone runs for office BECAUSE they have no political experience. Like why would I hire someone with NO experience to do any job? Why is running the government or making laws any different?

People List 30 Industries That Work Like Magnets For People Unqualified To Work In Them I've heard from more than one ex-military say that they should not be hired as police.

How they're trained to deal with situations and the skills they are trained in run counter to the skills of de-escalation of violence and preservation of human life.

This neither a criticism of the military or the police. Just addressing how we confuse their adjacency and training for violent scenarios as being trained to provide the same response.

People List 30 Industries That Work Like Magnets For People Unqualified To Work In Them Teaching right now is so hard up that it's pulling paras who have no idea what they're doing and people who think teaching might be a nice career change (though the latter has always been true).

People are by and large unaware of how hard it is to teach, how much b******t paperwork there is behind the scenes, and how much time you'll spend defending that you've done the job you've been hired to do.

What I see in a lot of my coworkers is: people trying to either relive or rewrite their high school days. If they were cool then they will make sure they are the cool teacher and undermine others (oh you're cutting class. Cool I'll write you a pass). People who want to rewrite will take absolute blatant pleasure in bossing a kid around and will often take advantage of the fact that admin will usually take another adults word over that of a kid.

I see lazy people abound. I have a coworker who will give kids a 2 question worksheet to complete in a 50 minute class. More often than not kids are watching movies in her class or she's walking them over to the gym, every day, for at least half the class.

I knew a woman... get this... she won teacher of the year (something that teachers self nominate for) who didn't teach after lunch. The entire second half of the day she sent them to the gym, to specials, or let them be on computers.

People List 30 Industries That Work Like Magnets For People Unqualified To Work In Them Law enforcement.

There's a problem with staffing in a lot of places, and the means in which they entice people to apply draw in a lot of people who really shouldn't be in that position of power.

They wind up giving a gun to people who don't realize there are (most of the time) better ways to resolve a situation without ever drawing it.

In a job like that, corruption is also very dangerous to the public. And if the people they hire aren't honest and good people, they're more likely to become corrupt themselves.

And it really shines a bad light on those in uniform that really do want to make their communities a safer place. When so many are crooked or complacent, they run out the good people trying to make a difference, leaving the wrong people in their place.

People List 30 Industries That Work Like Magnets For People Unqualified To Work In Them The tattoo industry. A lot of folks wanna be pirates or rockstars and don't actually have a good work ethic. They just wanna get rich and do whatever they feel like, instead of showing up on time and having their pieces ready ahead of the appointment. Also, art isn't for everyone (and that's ok!), especially with the added challenge of having a moving canvas and vibrating drawing instrument. There's a lot of people who get into tattooing with zero artistic ability, and they just sorta stay there. No hate on them, just know your where your skills lie.

Gonna add this just in case, because I know a lot of folks get sensitive about this subject and like to cry gatekeeper. I'm an apprentice myself, I'm totally for new folks getting into the industry (controversial opinion, I know). I've been working at a shop for the past couple years, and I've seen people come and go at my shop and others in the area for these reasons and more. Folks who thought they were hotshots and never showed up for their appointments eventually quitting or getting fired, people lying about having an apprenticeship only to find out they're a scratcher, people with questionable ability who haven't been tattooing long deciding to take on apprentices for a laughable amount of money, etc. People who do this for the pure love of it are definitely in the minority, sadly.

It depends on whether they are non-profit or not. The hospice nurses who cared for my dad were absolute angels. It has to be a special calling and gift because I can’t imagine working around the dying and grieving families as a full time job. The hospice we used was non-profit, and relies on fundraising and donations to pay their bills. And yes, this is America.

There's a small biennial convention I go to which has relatively specific requirements for the size of venue. There are only two hotels in the UK which are the right size. One has incompetent management who consistently fail to put in place things which the event organising committee ordered months in advance, then run around like headless chickens trying to get it done at the last moment. The other has a head chef who shouldn't be in charge of a spoon, let alone a kitchen.

IT attracts a lot of people who are stubborn, inflexible, egotistical and who have difficulty with other people. There's this impression that it's a dream field for independent workers with no desire to interact with others. It's not a realistic expectation in most cases, and especially not if you're not going into business for yourself.

I know a ton of people who went into IT, and all of the ones who hated it and quit jobs constantly or changed their careers did so because they had difficulties with other people. Bosses, customers, coworkers or a combination or all three. >90% of their complaints about work involved people, and in a lot of the complaint anecdotes the people complaining came off as just as bad as the people they were complaining about.

Unless you're some sort of irreplaceable genius who will be retained and well treated no matter what *or else,* you're going to need to be able to tolerate other people and to treat them with respect, to obey orders from higher-ups even if you disagree with them and to accept that, at the end of the day, your company doesn't value you as a person - only as a source of labour.

I came through a teaching program and you wouldn't believe how many of the people coming through these programs seem to think "these kids just need the love they don't get at home!" and that if they are kind they will be successful teachers. And yes, that idea is racist and a significant number of the people coming through these programs have never had a conversation with a person of color and don't understand that teaching children of color might be different from teaching white children.

Long story short, the issues facing children in underserved communities can't be solved with hugs and love alone, and these teachers tend to flame out quickly.

I was trained to be an inner city teacher. At every step they emphasized hard it would be and how to cope with each situation. And it was a great help. People who started out teaching with me who didn't have this particular program broke very early.
