I mean shitty as in immoral, unempathetic, pathological liars, untrustworthy, selfish
Cops. Without a doubt. Its the career path for highschool bullies who want authority and respect, but are too stupid to become doctors or lawyers, so they pick up a badge and a gun as a shortcut to “respect by implied threat”
Several assholes i knew became cops
Information Technology
Sales. Every fuckin time
I’m an attorney and I’ve met more than a few with “Dark Triad” (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) personality traits.

Injury lawyer. One of the worst people I’ve ever met.
Consultancy
I barely kept up with any of the good people I knew much less the assholes.
One of my schoolmate was a serious asshole. Our guesses for his future were either he’d be a lawyer, or he’ll make a career in the FDP (a more money for the rich kind of political party here, with a “liberal” label).
I was not surprised to learn that he is lawyer, working for exactly that party.
Grüezi ;)
Local politician … a member of town council but also a character that just hung onto any and all political positions related to local politics. He never did much expect make money for himself. If he didn’t get on council, he would try for mayor, and if he got neither, Financial Controller, Administrator, Manager, whatever, as long as it was with the town. He was in essence a salesman because he could talk circles around most people with political language and a bit of education, especially when he dealt with the uneducated or gullible people. It was basically his entire career and he’s well on his way to retiring after having done nothing for anyone else or the town.
Cops and ICE agents.
Seen lots of psychos in upper management. Lots of two faced weasling, lying, backstabbing, torching relationships, stepping over people in their thirst for power over others.
Pastors.
My high school bully graduated second in our class and clearly thought he was destined to great things. Ran into him four years later, he was attending grad school a few states over. Confirmed he was still an asshole.
Looked him up a decade later. He’s a grade school teacher. Teaching is an incredibly noble pursuit and a miserably thankless job. I hope he’s enjoying it.
