Working at The Worst Job of All-Time should be a right-of-passage for everyone. I agree with the memes that say everyone should work in fast food at some point in their lives, just to learn a little empathy. And to know which places to avoid ordering food from.

If you think fast food workers are lazy, well I've got news for you, son: these are the top 10 most unmotivated jobs in Minnesota and "fast food" isn't #1.

#10: Human Resources Assistant

HR gets to hear ALL of the office dirt, but the HR assistant gets to do the filing and the scheduling and the answering the same GD question over and over and over.

On top of that, artificial intelligence is targeting these kinds of jobs, so why try when you'll be replaced in the near future.


#9: Data Entry Clerk

It's the computer version of "White Line Fever": on and on with the same crap, every hour, every day, every week...

Predictability in your job can be nice, but this level of monotony is brain-melting; and, it's another industry targeted by our good buddy, A.I.


#8: Fast Food/Service Industry

Mandatory conscription into the fast food industry should be the norm, if only for a summer. Who DOESN'T love to be yelled at by little old ladies who are fresh out of Sunday mass?

Add in the heat of a kitchen, the insanity of the lunch/dinner rush, and typically low wages, this is an industry that A.I. can just have (what a twist!).


#7: Language Translator

A.I. is already making this career path absolutely obsolete. As if Americans needed another excuse to not be bilingual.


#6: Claims Adjusters/Processors

A lack of subjectivity could be a good thing in this field, and A.I. is all about data analytics at breakneck speed...just be sure your broken neck isn't your fault.


#5: Administrative Assistant

They're the behind-the-scenes heroes who keep an office running, in spite of a dumbass boss. Unfortunately, A.I. (seeing a pattern, yet?) will soon take over the duties of an administrative assistant. Well...most of them.


#4: Bookkeepers

A solitary position like bookkeeper is great for the solitary types (*cough* people haters), but is ripe for A.I. pickings.


#3: Telemarketers

The cold-calling telemarketer is one of the most hated industries ever. It makes for a miserable profession that, quite frankly, deserves to be overtaken by A.I.


#2: Bank Teller

Greet, count cash, record transaction, farewell. Repeat. Repeat.

A bank teller does more than that, but since that part of their job is easy to replace with (UGH) A.I., the whole job will likely go the way of the DJ...I mean dodo. Right?


#1: Call Center Representative

This was the single worst job I have ever worked. People don't call customer service because they're happy about something, and since you're just a voice on the other side of the phone line you'll be treated as less-than-human. My heaviest drinking days happened when I worked this godforsaken job.

With A.I. already jumping in with virtual assistants and chatbots, this mainstay of cubicle farms is getting dusty, fast. Goodbye, and good riddance.
