When we were little, one question constantly used to haunt us: "What do you want to be when you grow up?". Now, we're engaged in jobs some of us love, while others despise the mundane ritual of going to the office. As per a study by ResumeHelp, a resume builder website, these are the most hated jobs in the US.

Politician

Almost half the survey respondents (43%) expressed a dislike for politics as a career. Those without a college degree were especially found to be more likely to harbour a hatred for politicians.

 Insurance Broker

About 41% of the 993 American respondents said they hated insurance broker as a profession.

Priesthood

This may come as a surprise, but around 36% voiced a dislike for the priesthood. This, as per ResumeHelp, could be due to the perception that it's not "real" work.

Influencer

It's the era of influencers, but, as per the survey, more than 36% dislike the so-called influencing and don't consider it a "real" job.

Gun/Arms Seller

This one is not a surprise. Given that the US for the last few years has been reeling under a gun epidemic, a hatred for selling arms is only to be expected.

Waiters and Used Car Salesperson

Around 35% of people didn't like the prospect of being waiters/waitresses or used car salespeople.

Telemarketer

This one isn't a surprise either. No one likes having their time wasted by pesky telemarketers, and being on the other end of the call isn't any fun either.
