Since the economy is in a downturn, and in desperation many people are turning to jobs that are not conducive to healthy working conditions. Before you start looking for employment, think about the effect it will have on your health and sanity. Follow these steps to avoid toxic jobs in America.

Instructions

1. 

   The worst job in America is any job where a person works for a toxic boss. Toxic bosses come in all shapes, sizes, and genders. The atmosphere where toxic bosses exist is full of emotional venom that depletes employees of energy and health. Toxic bosses have many characteristics like narcissism, greed, mental instability, and immaturity. The common denominator among toxic bosses is that they all drain people emotionally, physically, and spiritually. The best way to avoid toxic bosses is to make sure to look for red flags during your interviews before you accept any job. See my article in the resource section below about how to avoid toxic bosses.

2. 

   Avoid low paying service positions like servers, retail positions, and beauty technicians. Working with the public means having to deal with many emotionally unstable people. People who are rude and insecure need to elevate themselves by insulting others. Since these people lack courage, they go on the prowl for people in the customer service industry to vent their frustrations. Most people who work in the customer service industry usually have to tolerate abuse. Emotionally unstable people take advantage of people who are in a vulnerable position. If you take things personally, avoid customer service positions. They are one of the worst jobs in America.

3. 

   Avoid jobs in America that have anything to do with toxic chemicals. Garbage workers and cleaners make contact with toxic chemicals throughout their work day. The odds of cancer and other diseases increase exponentially in comparison to other employees who work in non-toxic environments.

4. 

   Working in the childcare industry means low pay, no benefits, and lots of germs. If the germs don't make you sick, dealing with unruly parents who don't appreciate the hard work you put in all day will drain you emotionally.

5. 

   To avoid the worst jobs in America, look for jobs in education, accounting, and computer programing. Don't forget step number one. Toxic bosses are in every industry. Affirm to yourself every day that you deserve to work in a healthy environment.
