What types of enlisted soldiers get shit for the jobs they picked, and why? Are there any that are specific to your country?

US here, I know of two off the top of my head:

Cooks, likely because of the low intelligence requirement and how boring/unrelated to combat it is.

USAF Security Forces (inb4 shitstorm), low intelligence requirement, trained to fight like soldiers during the Vietnam war, supposedly akin to infantry, though they are normally just standing at a gate or aircraft, or patrolling a base.

Offer up your suggestions, and what you know of or think of the careers other people listed. What is good, what is bad?
