to maximise income and minimise the chances of people hating you?
I was thinking this watching Kelly Hoppen on This Morning - and thinking if you are an interior designer, chances are this is a good job for 'non-hatred' but also + ££.. Because people will probably only use you if they like your style anyway. It would be very difficult to be "negligent" at it because its really a question of taste and it's not a job where people sit around thinking "I had interior designers".
Obviousy for her, being on television is a minus point in my question because I think if you are in the public eye at all there will always be trolls and nutters who hate you. But just talking generally.
I have a job that is in the class of banker/lawyer/accountant type - ie. the job itself attracts public hatred as a class and also where if there is negligence the financial damage to clients can be huge = they hate you.
& most of those sorts of professional jobs have high negligence risk. So eg doctors and surgeons, if you are negligent you can inadvertently cause a death or serious injury by missing something or actively cause death/serious injury by making a mistake.
Successful author of fiction seemed like a good bet - but then look at the ire JK Rowling attracts.
Journalism - probably not well paid enough and if you make a mistake you could be in for defamation damages or contempt of court in criminal cases.
What jobs do you think would be good for being as highly paid as possible but low risk for people hating you (whether because the job itself is "hated" generally or because the capacity for mistake/severe fall out is high)?
