We're all a little jaded with work, part of which can be explained by what we thought we were getting into vs. what its actually like. Which profession has the biggest gap between the prestige & glamor that the general population perceives a job entails, and the reality that actually exists?

Use personal experience, experience of friends/family, anything else you'd like in responding. Also, I just generally picked some professions based on people that came to the top of my head and what I've seen a lot of CB. Feel free to add more in the comments, especially if it comes with traumatic experiences where you learned firsthand how different the reality is than the expectation
