23 Professions That Are Borderline Unethical

Going to your job can suck, but at least you don't have to do these jobs. Here are some careers they're talking about on r/AskReddit that are totally unethical.

1.

I’d say politicians. They take money from the same special interest groups, pass or refuse to pass laws in accordance to what these interest groups want. The vast majority of problems would cease to exist if politics wasn’t corrupt as sh*t. -u/dafunkmunk

2.

Pay day loans. Want a loan with 600% interest? -u/starving_to_death

3.

Televangelists. Easy, they're confidence men, and true pieces of sh*t. Looking at you Joel "I'm a garbage f**king person" Osteen. -u/Silkysenko91

4.

MLMs for sure. They prey on the poor and desperate. -u/NotARobotDefACyborg

5.

"We've been trying to reach you concerning your vehicles extended warranty!" -u/Jarrado86

6.

Prosperity preachers -u/BlueKing7642

7.

Maybe not the most but rent to own companies are up there. -u/btldlrge

8.

Mediums and psychics who capitalize on the pain and grief their clients feel from losing someone they love. -u/Alohamora95

9.

Media outlets that take money from interest groups (or owned by specific people) and espouses their talking points instead of reporting the factual truth. -u/nowhereisaguy

10.

Outbound sales call center worker, you are literally told to lie to make sales especially to older people. -u/Environmental-fix-71

11.

I used to buy, trade and sell trading cards. It seemed unethical cause you'd always be trying to get an amazing deal from people and especially kids. If someone didn't know the price of the card you'd still haggle with them to get it even lower. I remember one of my buddies getting 3 cards worth $150 each for about $30 cause the guy didnt know the price had spiked a couple hours ago. -u/Hollywood899

12.

Timeshare sales/marketing -u/llcucf80

13.

People who own private prisons. -u/Kaiju_Dan

14.

Paparazzi, they follow famous people around and harass them until they snap and yell at them for profit. -u/cosinate

15.

People who go door to door trying to make you switch providers. It’s a scam that preys on old people. -u/Mizzymax

16.

Any home shopping network like QVC or HSN. I worked for HSN for awhile some years ago and the amount of old people that had no clue what they were buying that I had to scam because it was my “job” is insane. -u/InvaderDoom

17.

Pharmacy benefit managers. They are completely uneeded useless middlemen that significantly jack up the prices of medicine to line their pockets. People die because of them. -u/JhoLow_1MDB

18.

NFT sellers are huuuge scam artists and no one talks about it. definition of hack frauds. -u/dirtpunk2002

19.

Car mechanics that try to take advantage of women that need a quick car fix, and rob them dry for what only needed to be a $50 oil change. -u/BigEgoBiggerNose

20.

Crystal healers, homeopathic remedy makers, or others that use pseudo-science and superstition instead or medical products and procedures that are proven. -u/h2f

21.

Chiropractors calling themselves Dr. when they don’t even have accredited degrees… -u/AskMyAnxiety

22.

Medical debt collection. I live in the U.S. so the healthcare system as a whole is wack to begin with. I’m currently ~$3k in medical debt and i just cannot imagine what kind of person would choose a job in which they have to go after sick people for money they often just simply do not have. it takes a lot within me not to just tell them to f*ck off.
