So where do you belong?

The report by AP that ranks jobs by rate of depression is so damn reality.

Of course who wouldn't be depressed taking care of people you don't even know. Wiping their asses, bathing them just to earn a living.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- People who tend to the elderly, change diapers and serve up food and drinks have the highest rates of depression among U.S. workers.
Overall, 7 percent of full-time workers battled depression in the past year, according to a government report available Saturday.

Women were more likely than men to have had a major bout of depression, and younger workers had higher rates of depression than their older colleagues. Almost 11 percent of personal care workers -- which includes child care and helping the elderly and severely disabled with their daily needs -- reported depression lasting two weeks or longer.

Hmm, women are more likely to be depressed? I dunno. I always felt that it's the men who are more liable to to be depressed. Or maybe I'm just associating depression with them. But then again there are more women workers that have jobs as caregivers and nurses. I think. But you know, if you're serving the country and being dispatched to war torn countries, you're bound to have depression one way or the other-- being way from family and all that and then coming back after witnessing horrors of life as the job requires it.

Contiuning with the report.....

Workers who prepare and serve food -- cooks, bartenders, waiters and waitresses -- had the second highest rate of depression among full-time employees at 10.3 percent. In a tie for third were health care workers and social workers at 9.6 percent.

The lowest rate of depression, 4.3 percent, occurred in the job category that covers engineers, architects and surveyors.

Right. And the aforementioned men are the ones who are more in to those line of job. And here I am making a point somehow about men being more depressed.

Actually having no job is depressing unless of course you're skanky socialite. Shit. That's doubly depressing.
