Yes its true, lots of people hate their job from time to time… Or at the very least dislike it enough that from time to time they conjure up wild “hookie” stories just so they don’t have to go in and see that co-worker who’s just a little too chipper in the mornings (check to make sure this isn’t YOU!). However, in the grand scheme of things there are some jobs that bring about so much stress that a lil hookie might be needed to maintain a sense of sanity, and here are a few of them.
A recent survey conducted by CareerCast asked respondents to rank 200 different jobs based on the level of stress. To quantify workplace anxiety, the survey asked respondents to rate eleven stress factors found in the workplace: outlook/growth potential, travel, deadlines, working in the public eye, competitiveness, physical demands, environmental conditions, hazards encountered, own life at risk, life of another at risk and meeting the public.
What they found was that stress can show itself in a number of ways. For real estate agents, it’s the unusual hours, while the responsibility of caring for others, as in occupations like emergency medical technicians and airline pilots, can foster more palpable stress. Among newscasters and corporate executives, instead, it’s the expectations of the job that induces performance anxiety
