Most of the professions on the right require human connection, dealing with feelings ...Accountant?

Politician! Hands Down! Any “profession” that feels they have to run the lives of others gets my vote.

I’ve generally found accountants to be nice people.
MBA’s... not so much.

The (+) list doesn't include "Psychiatrist." Therefore, this is nonsense.

A high score on the PCL-R test should be grounds for managerial job exclusion.
Corporate psychopaths need to be identified and bounced before they destroy people and companies.

Notice that Veterans didn't make the list of psycho's despite the rantings of the past SecHS.

I’m surprised to see Psychiatrists and psychologists not on the list. I suspect a lot of people who pursue those fields are trying to “cure” themselves or at least understand themselves.
Second, there is no source or study referenced, so this could just be somebody’s hit list.
And I’m surprised to see Caregiver at the least of the list. My experience with caregivers are that a number of them are in it to steal drugs from their patients. And others are in it to steal money from them.

I don’t see accounting as a profession that requires caring and connection. That was one reason I chose it! I loved sitting in a cubicle with pages of numbers all day.

Gotta disagree with surgeon.I worked shoulder to shoulder with surgeons (as well as other physicians) for 20+ years.Yes,it's true that most of them are “Type A” personalities but that's a whole lot different than being a psychopath.I'd substitute “abortionist” for surgeon and add “progressive politician” to the list of psychopaths.

It’s interesting how “surgeon” and “doctor” are so far apart.
