CEOs and high ranking business people, what they get to do is not work or work significantly less than a working class people therefore I have no respect for most of em
Accounting and banking.
Work shouldn't be the primary source of stress in our lives no matter what the job is.

Park ranger. There are two kinds: chill and friendly, or the kind that make you show all your documents, prove your park stickers are valid, make you repark your car, and then scold you for being too loud even though the next nearest campsite is several hundred feet away and nobody has complained and you arent even being loud...
You're that camper. Turn the music off.
Teaching. Everyone seems to think teachers are full of themselves until they become a teacher and become full of themselves themselves.
High school students are raging psychopaths. Being a teacher there is a life of eternal psychic warfare. It warps you, body and mind.
it's one of the most important professions but okay tell me more about how mrs dunn was mean to you and you suck at fractions
Read the OP title, it asks what job do people take too seriously. I answered. Anyone who ignores we did just fine without our current system of teachers for centuries is already doing exactly that, taking it too seriously. It has nothing to do with your strawman of me thinking a teacher was mean to me.
Go back to being an illiterate, muck raking peasant or die young in a workhouse then, I guess. Fucking hell.
People in all the past golden ages did just fine without having the teaching system we have currently.
You know who the "Golden Age" was golden for? The relatively few educated people.
And for general relative prosperity and trade.
And you somehow genuinely feel that the average person's prosperity was, relatively, better in that period?
Working 7 days a week, morning to night, producing that prosperity and trade for the educated class in exchange for a pittance. Whilst eating your table scraps in the dark, you can hope you don't die of a disease you have no idea how to prevent contracting.
I love teaching, but the job of being a schoolteacher scares the heck out of me. Trying to earn the respect of 30 kids, while working from some standardized lesson plan, it sounds awful. I wouldn’t last a month.
I took classes which would qualify me to be a teacher. The biggest thing that scared me out of it were the unions and the fact they're not even legally questionable sometimes. I didn't want to become that. In the United States, the occupation has so much control that the head of the teachers' union is considered the most dangerous individual in the nation according to a poll/ranking. Not sure if anyone would be willing to accept that as context for my answer though.
