Job Descriptions

Some comical descriptions about the type of person who chooses a certain job. Maybe some of them resonate with you!

Doctor

Typically a very caring and intelligent individual. Often seeking money, reputation and respect. They may also suffer from insecurity and a lack of ability to stand up to their parents about what they really want to do in life.

Biomedical scientist

A failed doctor still desperately seeking social validation rather than stopping to reflect if there is something else they would actually rather do. Hopefully they are not disappointed when they actually become a doctor: what you think you want and what you actually want are often very different things...

Psychologist

Someone who is looking for answers to their own problems as they are too scared to ask someone else for help. They often cover up this reality by pretending to live a perfect life and offering to help everyone else live their (hypothetically) perfect life. This means they are often the last to seek help from someone else when needed as they believe that suggests they are not good enough at their job.

Engineer

Big boys who miss their Legos. I mean, hey, there's nothing wrong with that! At least being an engineer means you can imagine, design and create things! After all, creating something of your own if one of the most (if not the most) fulfilling thing someone can do.

Teacher

A strong and dedicated individual who is seeking neither money nor status. They are self-sacrificing, hard-working and constantly tired and under-valued. However, they probably also ended up in teaching as a last resort since they failed at everything else they wanted to do...

Lecturer

A smarter teacher. Not because they have more qualifications, but because they realised that all they have to do is speak for an hour, enjoy the sound of their own voice and not worry about what their students think of them as they will all be sleeping from pulling off consistent all-nighters.

Musician

Someone who does not have the ability to express their thoughts and emotions with words, and so resorts to notes instead. Typically they are a bit closed off and reserved. Whether this is because of the long hours they spend locked away in a practice room alone, or that they practice alone for so long because they do not want to have to open up and interact with others, it is often hard to tell.

Chef

Someone who is comforted by the thought of being surrounded by food. As a child, they are likely to have spent their morning lessons thinking about when it would be lunch break, and as soon as lunch break was over, they would spend their afternoon lessons thinking about when it would be home time so they could get their after-school cookie!

Vet

Someone who wants the money and respect of a doctor, but cannot face the idea of dealing with humans!

Lawyer

Someone who is really boring and has no hobbies. After all, who in their right mind wants to read legal contracts all day every day? They also tend to be argumentative, pessimistic and emotionally detached. Unfortunately, rates of depression and suicide are also high.

CEO

A true rebel. Someone who has never followed the rules, always thought outside of the box and could not possibly allow anyone to tell them what to do. They are at their happiest when they see others slaving away to make their own dreams come true.

Cleaner

Someone who really should aspire for a better job. (But please come and clean my house!)
