Hardest Job?

Recommended Posts

Darn! Someone brought up Alaskan fishing boats before I did! That was my choice. They pay really well though, all things considered. You work for 6 months a year, and are paid somewhere around $40,000 for it (I forget the exact figure). You just have to get around that whole "most dangerous occupation in the world" thing...

*resurects the thread from the bowels of the beast*

air traffic controller takes the cake for stress *in high volume airports, not dinky little airstrips*

I read *i'm sure it was Time Mag.* that high volume line cook was #2 on the list for stressful jobs, behind air traffic controller....which I can see, I spent a few years in the industry...left it for that reason..discovered I can sell...and decided to make more money, in a controlled environment, and not burn myself on a daily basis while getting yelled at by the chef for minimum wage

Think before you act, but act before it's too late.

How about a fulltime mom of 3 homeschooled children. Never gets a break. Always being hounded and followed around all day. And for no pay! A mother's love is amazing.

Try out these "worst jobs in Science" from Popular science magazine:

I tend to agree with #10 having worked with many Post Docs over the years and would like to give a personal nod to my job, Assistant Scientist, because I get to try and make life easier for these folks.

Yeh,

Air traffic controllers take it for stress

Alaskan Fisherman for danger....

but I'd rather be responsible for others' lives and risk my own than something really really horrible like.....Data Entry!!!

*Shout out to fellow adrenaline addicts for whom this kind of work would be tourture*

I know this is old, but I'm surprised nobody said inner-city middle school teacher.

My ex's mother worked at one of the toughest schools around. She quit the day a child urinated on her desk to protest a poor homework grade.
