Credit/collections supervisor
- Workers who say their job makes the world a worse place: 4.1%
Overseeing debt collectors is only a little less guilt-inducing than actually being the one who tracks down delinquent borrowers.
4.1% of supervisors say their jobs negatively affect the world around them, slightly lower than the 4.9% of collectors who felt that way about their job. Both professions had a higher response rate than the less than 1% of employees across all industries who believe they're making the world a worse place.
"In today's economy, [debt collectors] are dealing with a lot of people who can't make ends meet and going after them to get them to pay their bills," said PayScale's Bardaro. "Collections is just not a job that makes other people happy."
