There are certain professions out there that are just plain evil. If you want to avoid doing or supporting soul-killing work, here are the jobs you should always, ALWAYS avoid.

Health insurance adjusters.
Here's an example that happens thousands of times every day: You go to the doctor's office because of some pain -- abdominal, knee pain, whatever. Doctor is slightly concerned and says we should check for abnormalities and orders an MRI.
You show up at the imaging place and are told insurance isn't covering it, and without insurance it's $900. Could be f--king cancer, some internal damage, but nope, insurance won't cover a simple imaging.
A company with $250 billion of revenue just can't afford it, even though you are paying them precisely to do this. Who made this medical decision for you? Your doctor, who went through 4 years of medical education and several more of residency, who knows your medical history? Nope. This pencil pusher at their f--king desk made it, based on how much you are likely going to cost for their company.
So, unless you're decently wealthy or just desperate, you don't get to know what's causing your pain because an insurance adjuster thinks you should take an aspirin instead and see how that works because it's cheaper. They are incentivized to NOT pay for your medical care.
Most companies will suffer from making s--tty products or providing poor services, but insurance companies will profit from going against your interests breaking their own rules and hoping you don't call them out or litigate.
Car insurance is better because at least if other drivers are at fault, incentives are aligned and they will fight for you. But to health insurers, your body is always the enemy. It's absolutely insane to me how this is allowed in this day and age.12
Psychics.Especially every single one that's "worked with" police or a family looking for a missing loved one etc.One time in a Target, a random woman came up to me and said, "You have to call me right away, I already know you need help. Here's my card, please don't wait to call." Because apparently, I look like a sucker. Incredibly predatory.

Predatory towing. The scummiest tow truck story I’ve heard was after hurricane sandy. Parts of the Jersey shore were evacuated and some tow companies went through grabbing as many cars as they could after the area was evacuated and since it would often takes weeks before people found out their car was in the impound the fees were insane.
