Redditors who do jobs that are objectively bad for people/society (e.g. marketing cigarettes) how do you feel about it?

1. I used to work in a casino as a slot attendant/bartender and I saw a lot of shitty things. Just tried to filter everything out and not try to get into their heads cause it made me depressed. I only respect texas holdem players. It is very bad because of the way it is portraited (come in and win, "casino name" gives more etc etc. Never play anything against the house, the house always wins.

2. I worked as a dealer at a casino, and for the most part, it's fine. People are either there for a good time or they have a disgusting amount of money that if they are going to waste it rather than put it to good use, then at least part of it is paying the wages of the 2k people that work there. Sometimes it's hard, when you see people winning and then lose one bet and everything else trying to get it back in spite of me, their friends and sometimes the other players telling them to quit. What most don't realise about gambling is it isn't hard to win, but it is hard to walk away. It feels so good though when someone who you've been able to have a laugh with and be good to actually walks away with their winnings. It's like 'Yes you get the fuck out of here!' (Maybe it makes me a bad person but it's also delicious when someone is a c*** and you take all their money)

3. I used to do telemarketing. I was pretty desperate to do so.

4. Does anyone actually market cigarettes? At least in the UK cigarettes advertising is virtually non existent, and packages are covered in massive health warnings. People still buy them, smokers gonna smoke.

5. I work on the UK nuclear arsenal program Trident, which a lot of people are publicly against. No, I don't care. Realistically, if I didn't do this job, someone else would, and when I've been in the nuclear industry for 15 years I'll be making some serious bank. It's not that I want nuclear war, it's just that while other countries have nuclear weapons I'd rather be employed.

6. Im not one myself but some Tech Support Scammers admit that they are either blackmailed or forced into doing it in order to feed their family.

7. A friend of mine used to recruit people for a cult. He wasn't even a member or asked to join. They just hired him for his recruiting skills.

8. I used to rent out the party room at the pub where I bartended for speed seduction seminars. I was cool with it because those losers inevitably tipped well afterwards to better embody that alpha Sinatra stereotype.

9. I used to work at a factory that turned poor people into soap. I thought at first it was good, turning half of the unwashed masses into something to clean the other half.
