    This actually is a hard question. I assume it needs to be an industry that is small, doesn’t have huge margins and probably is primarily manual labour.

    Maybe something like blacksmithing?

    I don’t think the “natural properties” of a career or industry will be enough to be lowest. I think an industry or career with high oversight from many individuals and regulators. Likely something that has fucked up before, and massively.

    Slot machine programmer.

    • regulated industry
    • work can be checked many times
    • customers (casinos) don’t want to be fucked
    • gamblers don’t want to be fucked
    • loads of money to be made doing things well
    • lots of scary people willing to drop you in a hole

      Not criticizing it and it depends on whether you consider it “corruption”, but isn’t there a large underground market of sexual services via massage?

      I feel like it’s one of those things that if a cishet dude says they went to get a massage, it raises immediate jokes or suspicion.

        Pretty sure there is. Went for a massage recently, and ‘this is not a sexual encounter’ is explicitly in the terms of service you have to sign when making an appointment.

          That’s kinda wild.

          Yeah, I mostly get massages when I travel outside the country and what’s a massage and what’s more than a massage is much more explicit in countries where prostitution is allowed. So, what’s expected is more obvious.

          If I’m in the US and have a girlfriend, always have to do a couple’s massage at least to start so she doesn’t think I’m up to something. Maybe I’m paranoid about it though.

              Just wondering if I said something that prompted you to say that.

      Hmm… Wouldn’t be so sure. Some librarians have the power to selectively forgive late fees. They can give preferential treatment depending on their mood or the politeness of the person. You might also bribe a librarian to let you take out books from the special collection.

    Definitely not that new Jewelry store I saw at the mall the other day, Shauron’s gift emporium or something like that. That place look corrupting as can be, they have nine employees working there and they all look wraithlike. Do the employees ever leave the store? There is this one creepy fellow always hanging around in the corners of the store, whispering about some birthday gift he lost or something.

      Nah that place is fine. I got a ring there and they basically gave it to me. It’s really high quality and I love it. It is precious to me.

      If they go into influential people’s houses or into important businesses, I can think of a few reasons to bribe them to do things for you.

      A lot of men in my neighborhood seem to have died while being in proximity to a “cleaning lady.”
