Your Job Is Not Nearly As Bad As You Think

There’s no better cure for the Mondays than looking for jobs, and no better cure for hating your job than reading job listings. Each week, we remind you that as bad your job is, it could be a lot worse.

Last week, there was some debate at Jossip HQ over just how bad of a gig freelance porn criticism is. Some of us take a less ironic approach to professional ambitions than others.

But here's one thing we can all agree on: taking your four to six years experience as an editor to launch a sister magazine for World Wrestling Entertainment, The Magazine would suck. Even for those whose idea of a good time is adding dek heds to pictures of men with shaved chests on steroids, the job is split between Stamford and New York City, which only would be semi-convenient if you lived in Westchester.

Full listing after the jump.

This week, Sex Herald.com is looking for freelance porn critics. At first glance, reviewing NSFW websites for pay may seem like an upgrade from the work you're doing as an amateur. But $7 a review is not worth mixing business and pleasure. Besides, writing samples from Sex Herald.com will probably not get you into the New Yorker and could get you fired from your current job.

The offer basically comes down to getting minimally compensated to review porn sites under a pseudonym. At least at your current terrible job, you can go by your real name.

Full listing after the jump.

While perusing Craigslist this morning – as we are sometimes wont to do – we discovered that a certain high-profile celebrity chef is in need of a full-time entry level helper! (Qualifications include "able to use Blackberry.") Naturally, we couldn't help but wonder which epicurean master was desirous of some top-notch minimum wage assistance. So we decided to put it to a poll!

This week, Donald Trump is hiring. As if working for Donald, the real estate mogul, wasn’t repellent enough, here’s an opportunity to promote Donald, the scholar. Trump U. is looking for a creative director for the only online university with the Trump seal of approval.

If you have five years of marketing experience, this terrible job could be yours. Full listing after the jump.
