Public school teachers. Not willing to extend this to admin, though.
Everything single teacher ive even heard of is doing the job because either
- They love children unconditionally
- They want to raise the next generation to become productive adults who are prepared for the real world
- They believe that everyone deserves enlightenment
- They agree with Thomas Jefferson that school is preparation for participation in democratic society
Teachers that value money over one of these things typically do not last long.
Just to be clear, most teachers are just doing a 9-5 job they are good at. But if you ask them why they are teaching instead of making actual money in some other field, you eventually drill down to one or more of these beliefs.
I don’t think the “natural properties” of a career or industry will be enough to be lowest. I think an industry or career with high oversight from many individuals and regulators. Likely something that has fucked up before, and massively.

- regulated industry
- work can be checked many times
- customers (casinos) don’t want to be fucked
- gamblers don’t want to be fucked
- loads of money to be made doing things well
- lots of scary people willing to drop you in a hole

This actually is a hard question. I assume it needs to be an industry that is small, doesn’t have huge margins and probably is primarily manual labour.
Maybe something like blacksmithing?
Definitely not that new Jewelry store I saw at the mall the other day, Shauron’s gift emporium or something like that. That place look corrupt
ingas can be, they have nine employees working there and they all look wraithlike. Do the employees ever leave the store? There is this one creepy fellow always hanging around in the corners of the store, whispering about some birthday gift he lost or something.Nah that place is fine. I got a ring there and they basically gave it to me. It’s really high quality and I love it. It is precious to me.

What are they going to do, rub you extra rough if you’re a Democrat?
Not criticizing it and it depends on whether you consider it “corruption”, but isn’t there a large underground market of sexual services via massage?
I feel like it’s one of those things that if a cishet dude says they went to get a massage, it raises immediate jokes or suspicion.
Sex work is work
Did I say otherwise?
Did I say you said otherwise?
Just wondering if I said something that prompted you to say that.
Pretty sure there is. Went for a massage recently, and ‘this is not a sexual encounter’ is explicitly in the terms of service you have to sign when making an appointment.
That’s kinda wild.
Yeah, I mostly get massages when I travel outside the country and what’s a massage and what’s more than a massage is much more explicit in countries where prostitution is allowed. So, what’s expected is more obvious.
If I’m in the US and have a girlfriend, always have to do a couple’s massage at least to start so she doesn’t think I’m up to something. Maybe I’m paranoid about it though.
I was going to say meteorologist, but it looks like Latin times says there are some people that disagree… https://www.latintimes.com/murdering-meteorologists-wont-stop-hurricanes-forecaster-flooded-violent-threats-weather-561991
Cleaning services, can’t think of any reason to bribe them
If they go into influential people’s houses or into important businesses, I can think of a few reasons to bribe them to do things for you.
I also can see how a cleaning service might be able to get dirt on important businesses or people and later leak it after a delay. Which to me isnt corruption however
A lot of men in my neighborhood seem to have died while being in proximity to a “cleaning lady.”
We must live in very different places
Maybe. Maybe not.
