While doing rather meaningless tasks at my job, I began to wonder what the worst occupations in Middle Earth would look like. Here is what I have come up with so far:

1. Dentist to the Mouth of Sauron.
2. Shire Nutritionist.
3. Harbinger of bad news to Morgoth.
4. Feanor’s anger management coach.
5. Orkin man in the realm of Mordor.
6. Polisher of Grond.

Please add on if you wish....

Well if we can stretch Middle Earth to include Numenor then I should think that being Aldarion and Erendis' marriage guidance counsellor would have been a bit of a challenge...

Okay this is just a bit stereotypical but I couldn't resist.

Aragorn's mother in law. I mean like if he were not with Arwen. I could picture her nagging him.

Erendis

Just imagine her:
''Were the Mordor(hell)have you been?Alas my daughter that didn't listen to my advice and got married to you!She does this all alone to give you spare time and YOU ARE NOT KING YET!'':D:D:D

Hakon

"Look at that throne there. It has dirt on it. If you are going to be a King you need a clean throne. Why does your sword have blood on it? Are you abusing my daughter?"

If Sauron had a mother in law that would just be really funny.
