The Most Overrated Jobs of 2015

Would you believe events coordinator is on that list? Advertising executive, broadcaster, architect? Being an attorney is overrated, too, according to CareerCast, as well as management consultant, public relations manager and sales manager.

These can be great jobs. And many of these fields are growing, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. But they come with a great deal of competition and stress, too.
