Finally some recognition :)

Actually, I have it pretty easy... my students are great.

ETA: After looking through the article, i found that 100% of photogs were stressed, while only 58% of parole officers found their jobs stressful.

No, should be single parent - mother or father. (Note: may be biased, I was the father type of single parent)

I was wondering why my wife and I hardly see eachother anymore.... the fact that both of our jobs are right up there on that list explains an aweful lot! But, we're both happy and in love with our careers, so who am I to complain?

Agreed, but let us not forget FATHER, let's call it PARENTS! But truly, the non-monetary benefits are priceless <<>>

I would also add medical and surgical residents...low pay, extremely high pressure/stress...but I very much recognize the low pay is only for a few years.

Ha! Good point!

I'm disappointed that our social workers and educators are not on this list, although it's only the top 10. I also wonder why docs only came in at 77%. Maybe they lost a malpractice case? Medicine has changed and often it can feel like a factory churning out appointments, so maybe burnout?

Do you glow in the dark? I knew a deck ape that was on a nuke, he saw a guy come running from the reactor glowing green. I might add that the idiot had broken a chem light and rubbed it in his skin. He went to mast, got kicked out and had his skin dyed green for the rest of his life. I guess he didn't know that there is glass in those things. I also feel your pain at military pay, I used to be a PH on the JFK. 20 yrs ago.

School bus driver isn't on there???? How about Firefighter? EMT?

I do all three and don't make a lot of money. Well, to be honest the school bus driver gig pays pretty good. *grin* But the stress is crazy. In the ten weeks schools been in I've done 17 write-ups and had three kids kicked off the bus.

Nope. I'd put it back to mother.

As fathers, we don't as much as a mother. You'll understand more when that infant gets bigger.

Plus, as fathers, we get to leave the house and go to work. Mothers don't.

Being a banker in this economy is threating to put me on medication or in a mental hospital.
