    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.

    • 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.

    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.
