Regarding the Gawker link, I think a pretty depressing job at the moment would be working for Gawker fixing all the security holes they've just had exploited :P

I can't say I'm surprised to see health care workers (including nursing home workers) on the list. Actually, the appearance of nursing home workers is especially unsurprising. Nursing homes are some of the most depressing places ever if you ask me.

I used to work in a nursing home. I was depressed when I took the job there, so it didn't have much impact on my already existing depression. I actually liked the job.

Same as I'm now working in teaching (sort of). I get depressed because that's what I do. It's not really the teaching, now that I don't have to teach school drop-outs any more. I teach adults and I like it. I'm just naturally prone to depression.
