Top 15 Depressing Jobs Can All Be Found In New Jersey

Many of us have had at least one job, at some point in our lives, that we couldn't stand.

Maybe it was the hours, commute, extreme workload, annoying co-workers or horrible boss.

All of that, especially combined, can be extremely exhausting.

But, there are certain occupations that are considered more depressing than others.

So what makes a job depressing?

It has to be the stress, anxiety, responsibility, right?

There are jobs where someone's life could be on the line, schedules are constantly changing, the job doesn't pay well, there's little to no appreciation, the job is dangerous or you're required to work extremely long hours.
