The Top 5 Most Humiliating Jobs for College Grads

You thought that you would be swimming in money after handing in your cap and gown. Well, maybe not. Below I have listed the top ten most humiliating jobs for college grads. In your job search, you may want to steer clear of these, but if you really need the money, and your job search for a money making job is going belly up, you may be a soon-to-be employee of one of the top ten most humiliating jobs for college grads.

Janitor
This job is number one on the list, and it doesn't take an ivy league graduate to figure out why. In this job you will be doing what I like to call "scrubbin and bubblin." You will be scrubbing toilets, mopping floors, and wearing an ugly blue or gray jumpsuit. You might have to take this job because it pays pretty well and there is not a great amount of competition for it. After all, not many people would clean something well even if somebody paid them. Janitors can earn up to 32,000 a year.

Full time babysitter or nanny
This job is number two because most people wouldn't babysit their own kids if you paid them to, let alone somebody else's. Yes, this job is for the young college grad whose job search is going down the tubes. The job entails changing diapers, singing songs, and reading aloud. You may even have to cook.

Newspaper deliverer
This is one of the easiest jobs to get. I should know because I have had it before. All you have to do is answer one of those ads in the paper that read "early morning worker needed. No collections involved. You are hired right on the spot, and before you know it, you are getting up at 3 am to pick up the papers from the loading dock and driving around in pitch black while the sun is down looking for addresses you've never even heard of. Get this. You even have to get out of your car because most people want their papers placed in a certain area. They just don't want them tossed on the lawn or at the end of a driveway. You can expect to make a minimum of 150.00/wk

Retail sales associate
Did you go to school for that? Probably not, but you get discounts right? Maybe. That's if they don't make you open up at 22.2 APR store credit card in order to get it. In this job, you will use your concentration skills to make sure you fold men's shirts correctly. Finally, you will use your attention to detail as you help people fill out their credit applications. Macys, Banana Republic, and Lord and Taylor's are all hiring, and you with all your college sophistication, are the perfect type to stand behind a counter for eight hours a day perfecting the phrase, "Will you be putting that on your credit account?" Retail associates make approximately 17.000/yr

Waitress
You took this job because you heard that you can make the same amount in tips working for 5 hours that a person can make at a normal job working for eight or more hours. You also heard that you did not have to wait for a check or payday. The money is deposited right into your pants pocket after each shift. You heard that you get great food at a high discount.

What you did not hear was that you are not that good at waitressing. The first week you started, you spilled two plates of fries, and on a Saturday night, the pressure is just too much for you. You found out that you can't stand cigarette smoke, and everyday it causes you to go home with a headache. You also did not hear that it bothers you that you must hear people complain about steak temperature and other crap when you graduated sigma cum laude. The customers notice your disdain for your low employment choice, even though you think that you are putting up a pretty good front. Then, the worst thing happens. You do not get good tips. Expect to make a minimum of $20/shift

Grocery store cashier
After learning how to recite your university's alma mater, you believed that you would have a bright future ahead of you. Little did you know that you would spend most of your after-college life perfecting the phrase, "Paper or plastic?" Expect to make about minimum wage.

What do you do in order to avoid having one of the top five most humiliating jobs for college grads? I suppose that you could work on your job search. Make that job search succeeed no matter what you have to do. Actually, I cannot really give you any advice yet because I am still in one of the above jobs. Hopefully, soon I will be communicating my success story.
