The WORST Jobs in America

5 Divorce Lawyer

This is not a judgement of the work they do, just our opinion about the potential pitfalls of the job. If you’ve read up on the essential Law and Order episodes there’s no doubt you have seen a classic bitter divorce turned homicide turned great primetime television. And, without exception, the divorce lawyers are absolute bulldogs who seemed to turn the separation into sport.

Nearly every divorcee sees their life altered in some form because of the experience, and it is almost always in a negative capacity. For one’s job to require immersion in one nasty divorce proceeding after another must have a grating effect at some point.

Just watch Kramer v. Kramer to get the worst case scenario that too often ensues in courtrooms, and to choose that mayhem as a daily undertaking indicates that you might have some Tony Soprano in your spirit. In all seriousness, its a nasty business and even though it pays nicely, you need a strong stomach, thick skin, and a little mean streak to do this job.
