Legal assistant
- Workers who say their job makes the world a worse place: 3.4%
Just like lawyers who may be on the wrong side of a case, legal assistants can face moral dilemmas on their jobs as well.
"Some are assisting lawyers in cases either they know are not right or helping a lawyer defend a criminal they know is guilty," said PayScale's Bardaro. "There's a lot of opportunity to do good but also a fair amount of opportunity to do bad."
