Top 6 Most Stressful Jobs In The World

There is no such thing as an easy job in this world as each one of them will have its very own challenges. Whether it is being your own boss and working at home to working for a company as there will always be problems that need to be handled. 

It is a matter of how things should be handled so that stress does not build up in our bodies. However, there are jobs out there where the amount of stress far exceeds other jobs out there and one might ask what made the job so stressful? Is it something that requires both physical and mental strength? Or perhaps the one that involves life and death?

Here we would like to share with you the top 6 most stressful jobs on the face of the earth.

6. Teacher

The career pathway of a teacher is undoubtedly one of the most challenging jobs. As a teacher, you are not just responsible to teach all the required subjects at school, in fact becoming the second parent for the students at school. If the parents happen to send their troublesome kids to school then the one that will be affected will be the teacher. 

Society has an impression that the job of a teacher is simple, highly paid as well as has a long holiday. What they don't know is that we got all eyes on the teacher meaning for every mistake made by the students, all fingers will be pointed towards the teacher.

Some examples of problems faced by teachers include when students get bad grades in their class as well as having social problems and bullying at school, the teacher is to be blamed in the end. 

In this modern era where the internet is of easy access by the fingertips, whenever the parents have something to report regarding school, the teacher will be contacted outside of office hours making the teacher not have any free time at home.

The amount of pressure that builds up from facing these nuisances each day is just absurd and we should all respect the amount of sacrifice our teacher has given to educate us toward becoming better people.

5. Police

It is the responsibility of the police force to keep peace and order among the people as well as ensure their safety. Anything related to dealing with civilians is very stressful and with crimes on the rise each day, it made their jobs a lot worse than it already is.

Even when there isn't a problem at all the police will be summoned just to make the other person happy and the amount of pressure society brings is immensely high.

Becoming a police will also mean that one will be at great risk which could lead to death, not to mention that you should also have the physical strength to do this job. The other stressful thing is dealing with corruption and bribery that lingers with dirty cops on the street.

ADVERT

There are also abundant complicated cases that need investigation without the people knowing it. Society only sees the tiny little cases that police will do in public while the other heavier cases that require special forces will take even longer for police to handle.

The stress level just increases each day waiting to explode.

4. Medical Officer

We all cannot deny that working as a medical officer is very challenging and it requires patience and mental strength to endure the stress each day. They are among our society that must serve no matter the time and protecting lives is what they do.

A job where you have to confront various patients with many complications and attitudes is definitely not easy. For a doctor, it is normal to work and sustain for 36 hours straight making some of them get stressed out and burn out in the end.

Things can get out of hand, especially when facing uncooperative patients resulting in the stress level building up even more. There have also been many cases where doctors died due to fatigue ness and working more than their bodies could take.

Despite what some people say about doctors being paid a high salary, one might question whether it is worth the money when lives are at stake and mostly no free time.

3. Pilot and Cabin Crew

A lot of people have the perception that working as a pilot is simple and easy with a lucrative salary. But this is all seen from the outside and the reality is completely different than what people expect. 

Many things need to be done by a pilot which puts a lot of stress on them while doing the work. Their responsibility as chief inside the plane is not that easy especially when all the lives inside the plane is in the hand of the pilot.

Controlling something big 4000 feet in the air not knowing what the weather would be like brings many difficulties to the pilot and when the passengers decide to be a "Karen" is definitely not helping.

The steward and stewardess's job is to make sure that all the passengers are safe and sound while making sure everybody is comfortable. We're not talking about a few people here but hundreds of people of all ages who all have their own attitudes while on board.

Sometimes they have to make the sacrifice to do something that they are not willing to do just to make sure that everyone on board is happy and satisfied. Most of the time they work in shifts similar to doctors and spend most of their time standing and walking around.

2. Soldiers on duty

Similar to police but slightly broader in terms of the tasks that need to be done since it involves the safety of the country overall. This job required both physical and mental strength to do what most out there cannot do.

As a soldier on duty, one has to go through many risky missions and the possibility of death. There's also strenuous training that needs to be done each day to maintain the body in a fit position. Some did not pass the qualifying exam or were unable to sustain the stress each day and decides to run away.

ADVERT

This job also requires the soldier to be prepared all the time as they will always be far away from their family in order to serve the country. All gratitude should be given to all fallen soldiers out there.

1. Prime Minister/President

If a teacher has to confront students in a whole class while a pilot deal with the nuisance of the passengers, then the ruler of a country has to deal with millions or even billions of people in a country.

It is definitely not an easy job to do which would bring a huge amount of stress to the person holding the position. A leader should be someone who knows how to lead as well as perform what's best for the whole nation.

Pressure will constantly rise each day especially when the job is not done properly. They also need to be fair and use their power accordingly to avoid corruption and bribery that will bring to a destruction of a country.

The stress to cope with maintaining the welfare of the people is definitely high and problems will come up each day that require proper attention. Everything is on the shoulder of the ruler whether the country will move ahead or fall behind other countries.
