I often hear people moaning about how stressed they are at work, but what is the most stressful job?. Im thinking it's going to be something like a air traffic controller or a nurse/doctor or bomb disposal expert. |

I would go with ambulance staff who regularly have people's lives depend on them doing their job right.
All these medical lawyers who try to make money out of the tiniest mistake from health professionals really make me angry!!!  |

Army or emergency services. If you are faced with a life or death situation you don't have time to think, what you do in that split second is the difference between someone living or someone dying. Being responsible for someone's life is a little stressful, I've been there and done it! |

my heart goes out to ordinary people stuck in a dead end job for minimum wage taking crap from their boss ,but can't tell his boss to stuff it because he's trying to support his family and too proud to be on benefits.i take my hat off to these people. |

Much truth I agree, and from a personal perspective. But doesn't stress manifest itself in many ways for different people?
Caring professions in my opinion carry muchstress, given that they take on oothers problems?
And lets face it, most people who join the forces or similar have done so because they seek excitement and thrive on the buzz ?
You've got to be foolish to join up then have a gripe that its all a bit dangerous now ?
I'd say surgeons have it bad and to be honest were all wired differently when it comes to dealing with stress ? |

I can't comment about the armed forces, only from 20 years as a firefighter. It can be a "buzz" but its not why I joined. Many people have differing levels when it comes to stress and we all cope with things differently. I know a guy who left the job after attending the Paddington rail crash and it still affects him now, didn't really affect me at all. Life can be stressful for many reasons, not just through your job, some are able to cope better than others I guess, what some find stressful, others thrive on. |

Unemployment but wanting to work can't be that stress free we'd imagine. It could be due to location, circumstance, health or a number of reasons. Yes there are those who choose to absolutely not want to work, but there are plenty who do but can't, we think this must be pretty stressful if family and children are involved... |

I agree with this, having frontline experience myself. A very close friend is a paramedic and think A&E on a Friday or Saturday night is worse than frontline!!! Trying to help people while getting a mouthful of abuse and trying to keep your cool. Don'tthink i could do it! |

Dentist.
Lots of people hate going to see them. They never get any sensible conversations from their patients.
People are constantly asking them not to hurt them.
It is a lonely job I recon |

Parking Regulations Enforcement Officers (Traffic Wardens to you and I) get alot of stick.
Targeted by their employers to write so many tickets per day, then get abuse and threats even from people that's not been caught. Police don't seem to have much love for them either. That's got to be the most stressful job. |

If we take the suicide rate as a measure of stress then its a tossup between military (and and ex military...there is a standing instruction to coroners to exclude a suicide verdict unless there is a suicide note and record an open verdict) Doctors Dentists and Vets.  |

Having been fired twice in 5 years, both times as unfair dismissal (want to reduce heads but not pay severance), I found that very stressful. Nearly lost house, blood pressure at 220/120 ... Stress arises by not being able to control the circumstances, whatever they are. Front line, in theatre must be one of the worst. |

" Front line, in theatre must be one of the worst. "
Its quite funny really but active service is not that stressful at the time. You do your job and your training and mates help you eat the fear then when someone gets hurt you get angry, very angry (that helps too)! But your mates and the black humor get you through it. (I served in NI and the Falklands.) The problems come when its all over and you return to "normal" life and have to live with what you have seen and done.
Sorry about your bad luck with your employers, but I think most are getting that way... |
