    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

    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 was going to say meteorologist, but it looks like Latin times says there are some people that disagree... https://www.latintimes.com/murdering-meteorologists-wont-stop-hurricanes-forecaster-flooded-violent-threats-weather-561991

      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.
