Here’s me rating every job I’ve ever had… from caller life to dental assistant to working in AI public health to running my own startup 👩‍⚕️🤖💻

Some were fun, some were painful, and some paid shockingly low for how impressive they sounded.

#ratingjobs #lemon8challenge

Comment your worst (or weirdest) job with pay + rating… I’m ready for the chaos 🫠

2025/6/5 Edited to

In today's competitive job market, job satisfaction often holds more weight than salary. The experience of working in various roles—from a Dental Lab Intern where I gained hands-on skills despite no pay, rated 8/10, to a Dental Assistant earning $950/month with a rating of 7/10—illustrates this clearly. While titles may sound impressive, such as being involved in AI public health with a pay of $1,200/month and rated 7.5/10, the reality often involves being overworked and underappreciated. Many individuals, like myself, have found that passion and fulfillment can outweigh monetary compensation. My current role as a startup founder, currently bootstrapped with no pay but rated 9.5/10, showcases the thrill of pursuing a mission-driven venture. Amidst the challenges—the high risks and pressure—there’s a sense of freedom and creativity that makes it all worthwhile. If you've had intriguing or frustrating job experiences, join the conversation. Share your job ratings and let’s discuss how salary affects job quality and personal satisfaction!
