This secret was bound to be leaked at some point

Uh-oh. This secret was bound to be leaked at some point.


The authors of the new book "Crap Jobs" took an unscientific email survey
among people in the United Kingdom, asking them to list what they thought
were the worst jobs in their homeland. And, as one might imagine, the
Brits came through with some rather candid responses.

When all the ballots were counted, there it was for all to see: Listed
just below phone sex operator (No. 1) and ferry cabin cleaner (No. 2), was
being an IT manager (No. 3). No surprise to you, right?

The poll also placed database builder at No. 14 on the list of bad jobs
(just behind landfill executive); Internet consultant came in at No. 72,
just behind maggot farmer. It wasn't immediately clear if the results
reflect the perceived difficulty of a job in IT, or whether they simply
indicate a lack of respect for technology.
