I can't think of any type of job that is both vilified AND one that you could take on the cusp of destitution.

And at least for me personally, setting the example to my kids of integrity being one of the most important characteristics you can develop, is a top priority. Taking a position in an evil industry doesn't top that.

Telemarketing?

(Edit) MLM would be another answer, and is pretty popular among some of my extended family who are deep in debt that they'll never get out of.

The people who give out parking tickets, but I agree that falls into a slightly different category.
