8 Most Stressful Careers
I love Southwest’s magazine. I always find interesting articles to kill time during flights. This month was no exception. I am glad that let you bring these magazines home. (They do, don’t they?)
Do you feel like you have a stressful career?
According to a survey by careercast.com highlighted in Spirit Magazine, here are the jobs that send workers home most exhausted:
- Firefighter
- Surgeon
- Senior corporate executive
- Police officer
- Roustabout
- Sailor
- General practice physician
- Psychiatrist
I don’t know that I qualify, but if I can be considered a “Senior Corporate Executive” with our church, then the article helps explain why I seem to have so much stress in my work these days. I realize I am a pastor, but lately, with the growth of our church, I seem to do play administrative roles than spiritual roles. Read posts about that change in my role HERE and HERE.
I know a few careers I was surprised were not on the list. These jobs would stress me:
- Homemaker
- School teacher
- Lion trainer
- Daycare worker
- Soldier
- Small business owner
- Professional chess (or poker) player
- Santa Claus
Is your career on the list? If not, do you think it should be? I guess at any given time it could be our career on the list. What do you think?
