I'd have to say the environmental services workers. They don't get a lot of recognition, and their jobs are pretty much thankless. But what they do is essential, and if it's not done, or if it's done ineptly, it can have catastrophic consequences.

I agree with Northwell. I was going to say anyone who works in any kind of job that involves cleaning, because they keep us safe and often dont get the respect they deserve.

The most under rated job in the medical field is Phlebotomist. A doctor can not diagnose, monitor medication, or release a patient without blood work. We attended a special school, received specialzed training, and depending on the state are licensed. We have many techniques, have to remember the order of draw, timed tests, etc, all while making the skill quick and easy. Yet phlebotomists are overlooked and considered part of the lab and not medical professionals. Please. The lab is usually inside the hospital, phlebotomists ARE medical professionals.

I would say a dental hygienist is one of the most underrated jobs. We are treated as the middleman. Sometimes we have to do the work of the dentist and all the time we must do the work of dental assistants. Hopefully at some point Texas will allow use independence so we can own our own business.

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?
