Jobs that make the world a worse place

Not only are claims adjusters constantly dealing with people in the aftermath of an accident, but sometimes they have to break the news to them that they owe money, too.

Their job is to evaluate insurance claims from customers who have been in a car accident or fire or who have experienced a theft and then determine how much of the bill the insurance company will cover -- if anything.

It can be a hard job, because when settling claims for customers, adjusters must also think of their own company's bottom line and try to minimize the amount their employer has to pay, said career coach Garfinkle.

"For those trying to walk that fine line between settlement dollar amount and their customer's needs, it can be a very stressful position," said Garfinkle.
