Which career has the dumbest, but highest paid individuals?

I’d say a lot of sales jobs - sure, requires social intelligence but these aren’t people you have deep conversations with


Wealth managers, which is pretty much sales in finance, as well. Portfolio managers generally smart though. I’d say real estate development and anything in that industry as well

They have work ethic and focus yeah, incredibly positive traits, just they arent as intelligent as people (and themselves) think them to be.

Anachron don't say that. People who are "dumb as rocks" don't read Isaac Asimov and Arthur Clarke.

Mortgage loan officers and real estate agents. Most didn't graduate college, or they did in a degree for which they couldn't get a job. They fell into a sales position out of desperation and ended up making a chit load of money. They're mostly dumber than fukk.

Nurses, pharmacists, PHysician Assistants generally a little above average but not super intelligent

we're talking about actual dumbesst tho. and doctors aint on it bud. no need to jsut slide medical in their to slam the profession.

i think most professioins with high pay you have to have some sort of smarts, athletes have game sense. even cam whores, rag on them all you want but they have the smarts too.
fictional account.
closer to the lung.

Office jobs - Not all office jobs by any means, mind you. But there are a ridiculous amount of ~40 hour per week office jobs that don't require a significant amount of intelligence. Tons of bs office jobs have been made up over the past couple decades just to provide comfy jobs to people who would probably otherwise struggle to get middle class level work.

Think of stuff like HR and scheduling departments. All that stuff used to just fall on regular managers to do. Which in turn devalues and dumbs down said regular management positions. Not to mention a lot of places have excessive layers of management in general, which further degrades the intelligence/effort needed to succeed at said management jobs as well.

Then you've got all kinds of office jobs these days devoted to stuff like "head of diversity committees". People who probably hold upper-middle class to lower-upper class paying positions where there job is to lord over all the normal employees from their comfy office/home office by railing on about SJW woke agenda material. Tons of that stuff especially goes on in academia and government jobs the past 15+ years. How many people in well paying "professional" positions like those would be excel at anything other than low-paying menial labor/cleaning/etc. type jobs if it weren't for their cushy PC invented office careers?

Correct answer here. Real estate agents are at the lowest end of the totem pole for respectability and value to society.

> Glorified key holders
> Biggest value is to open the front door of a house
> Never in the history of human kind has a person decided to purchase a property because of how well an estate agent sold it
> 100% of the time willing to engage in unethical activities such as withholding information, not passing on low house offers which are a legal obligation or lying to a buyer to benefit the house sale.
> Career is being replaced by 100% online agencies that don't even operate in person

HR Recruiters battle the spot for the lowest point of the totem pole, but they only slightly just pip Estate Agents by 1 point.
