Maybe George or Harry2 will be along later to delete this thread. It makes for such exhaustive reading.
Disgraceful Ways To Earn Money
Roulette free since December 2011.
Traffic warden isn't a bad shout. Of course that's only the tip of the iceberg. The real villains are the Masonic 'elite' who reside within your local council. Parking regulation and enforcement isn't inherently a bad thing. However when it becomes more about greed, hovering in the bushes for the meter to tick over etc and less about keeping the flow of traffic clear and steady availability of spaces it all leads back to hidden taxes and screwing people over unnecessarily for the benefit of the secret handshake club.

And... there is no Glamour in being a traffic warden. Clearly you need a thick skin, aa you're never likely to recieve any positivity from the public, but it's not what i would term disgraceful. It can at least be justified, the fact that those attracted to the position are likely to be power hungry and self-righteous is a different thing entirely.
I suggested Estate Agents and Car Salesman. I might even extend that to any form of salesman. As someone who routinely has to jusitify my place in society, I feel these jobs are the benchmark for both respectability and dispensability. The feeling of paying extra money to someone, so they can talk shit about something over which they have had no input... Or take some photos of something someone else has worked to make desirable, is SO annoying.
Perhaps, and this is indicative of my own personal struggle, the most annoying thing is that these positions are still considered legitimate. Surely, as more purchases are made online, and the marketplace shrinks to the point that it is clear where the best deal can be had (Google is your friend), the very notion of the salesman will vanish. Or you will be left with a husk of a job, one in which you really are convincing people to purchase what they do not need. Teeth whitening, and a move to JML to star in infomercials are then the only avenue left. And that really is a disgraceful way to make money.
