What is the most Under-Appreciated Job out there?

Soldiers. They work 24/7 with very few wages and put their lives on the line to ensure our freedoms.

i say the work of being a mom. working 24/7 but not really being payed, even worst, they are not being apreciated and only given notice once every year during mother's day. but with all these we seldom hear them complain. greetings to all the mothers. greetings. : )

I think, garbage collectors maybe, what would this worl be it people didn't do these sorts of jobs.

The direct care staff at nursing homes. They can make a resident's stay awful or much better and homelike. Bad employees are the pits, good ones you could not replace with a ton of gold. I think the job title is different in different states, I am thinking of certified nursing assistants, and certified medication aides.

i say, garbage collectors, their efforts not appreciated, they get to do the "dirty" job as i may say, but then they did not have enough salary to compensate their efforts.

My first thought is law enforcement. These guys work long shifts and risk thier lives for the general public every time they leave their home. Most people have a bad attitude towards cops without any valid reason. Firemen also are under appreciated. It seems like these occupations where people put their life on the line could pay a little better. Most of these guys have to work a second job to make ends meet, especially if they have a family.

There are many that don't get their just deserves. I'd say just about any social service worker, teachers, daycare providers, and even substitute teachers.

Most unappriciated underpaid job is that of Homemaker, mom and wife. next is teacher

I believe that a waiter/waitress job is the most underappreciated job out there because they are not even getting minimum wage they run their butts around serving us and refilling our drinks and their are so many people out their that i see that do not even tip them it does not matter how the food or service was they still served you so they should be tipped they count on tips these people do not even get minumum wage.and most of the time people yell at the waiter if the food is not cooked the right way its not the waiters fault its the cooks so i believe a waiter deserves a little more respect than they get from us.

hey... i will tell u the most under-appreciated job... it is that of a housewife's she slogs the whole day out to make life easier for her husband and kids and not many people appreciate her!! i can see this situation in my mom... it difficult to do all the work and still depend on your husband for some money this is the most under-appreciated work out there!! nothig else comes close!!

I got the answer for you! First, doctors do not deserve to make more money, they make plenty! Ok, but Airport workers are very under-appreciated and I say this after watching that Airport reality show I see how under valued they are. People yell and scream at them for doing their job and following the airport rules, but these people who are complaining are doing things wrong... like getting drunk and then getting mad that they can't get on the plane. Or another episode I saw showed a lady furious her baby couldn't get on for free because she didn't have a birth certificate to prove he was under 16 months. No one reads the rules ahead of time when they buy their tickets, then everyone gets mad at the workers!! Final thought: my mom told me to say "a mother is the most unappreciated" So there you have it :)

I would have to say the garbage man is the most unappreciated job. They handle all of our trash and waste and risk themselves. All so we can have a clean home. They work every day except Christmas. They work in the rain and sleet and snow and in the burning hot weather too.

I would have to say the military first and then food service workers -waiters and waitresses. The military makes less than minimum wage especially if you count that they are on call 24/7 365. They get some bennies but they are nothing near what they used to be. The exchanges prices are not as low as some retailers. The disrespect for them just doing their jobs is unreal. They are following orders. This war for example. the guys and gals over in iraq are not there by choice. They are following orders. But instead of going after their "boss" the general populous blames the brave men and women. I salute them. And they deserve a raise!!! Waitresses and waiters most people dont know get $2.13 per hour wages. So if the place they work is slow then they don't even get minimum wage. Then they have to deal with people who typically treat them like scum. Even if the waiter is pleasant he may not get a tip or the customer runs out on the meal and the server has to pay for it out of his/her wages and tips. Also, if there is a bar and hostess they have to tip out some of the money to them. when the bartender also gets tips. But they dont have to share. I always leave a tip. Even if service is bad I atleast leave enough to give them minimum wage. You try to serve hundreds in a days time anjavascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$cphMainContent$lbStart','') post responsed see if you dont think you are worth more than $2.13 per hour?

I have had several under-appreciated jobs in my life. I've been a teacher and parents have nearly cussed me out for me sugesting that their child read a book outside of the classroom. Not to mention the 80 hours a week that I would sometimes work, or the nights I spend hours trying to contact parents about what their child did or did not do that day in class. I've worked in bookstores where people would tear up the books and rearrange the bookshelves. I've worked in card stores where people would purposly put the cards in the wrong spots and mix up the envelopes for spite. In short, I think that all jobs are under-appreciated in some way. Just like the old saying "You never know a person until you've walked a mile in their shoes," you never know how hard a person's job is, no matter how much money they make, until you've tried it yourself.

Here are my top three underappreciated jobs (in no particular order): garbage collectors, mechanics, and soldiers. This is a great question, by the way.

I was a housekeeper for a motel and you would not believe some of the mess I had get rid of.I think its housekeeping.

How about being a MOM?????

I think teachers are under appreciated.They are the ones who help teach our young.Yet they get so little pay.They deserve more.

Given that we trust our children to them every day and that they get paid paltry sums compared to others with the same level of intelligence and education, I'm going teacher. Mike

new york sports club employees! actually probably all TSI employees (phily sports club, ny sports club, boston sports club & washington sports club). you get paid minimum wage, the managers dont care what i great job you are doing, and take full advantage of you.
