A career in education is good but not good enough for people who want to make quick cash. This profession, though noble, has condemned millions of people to poverty due to low salaries attached to those in teaching career.

The worst career is a degree in front office/customer care services. This degree, in USA pays not more than $70,000 per annum.It doesn’t matter which grade you are or the amount of work you are assigned, as long as your work is this,you will earn peanuts.

What is unique about these careers is that most people prefer employing themselves, unlike a degree on education where you are under the mercies of your employer.
