Excerpt:

Among the jobs readers say make the world a worse place were politicians, drug salesmen, missile builders and horror film actors. NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- While fast food workers, casino dealers and telemarketers topped a recent list of jobs that make the world a worse place, CNNMoney readers have their own ideas about the careers that hurt the world the most. After CNNMoney ran a slideshow based on a Payscale. com survey of workers who said their job makes the world a worst place, readers sent in a wave of e-mails and posted dozens of comments sounding off about their own jobs -- or jobs of others -- that they think are just as despicable.

"But making missiles and working in bomb factories, you don't feel like you're adding to the world by creating peace -- you're thinking, 'How do I build a better bomb? How do I make sure this thing blows up?'"

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
