I've always thought that being a daycare person would be very stressful. I know I can get stressed out with my own kids and I could not imagine having to deal with 5 or 6 or more kids, every day, all day! Your examples darius would be one of the more dangerous jobs, but there is some level of excitement and adrenaline that would accompany those sorts of jobs. I guess this is my perception, and its not like I dont like kids, I love them. I just dont think I would last very long in that type of environment
I think that air traffic controller has to be the most stressful job. I can't imagine having to juggle several planes that are either taking off or landing, all at the same time. Having the responsiblity of all those lives, plus the lives of people on the ground should you make a mistake. Of course, second most stressful job would have to be that of a pilot. It takes some large..... um..... attachments to do those jobs.
Yeah Malexander the NYPD and LAPD would make the most dangerous job list. But I see it as being stressful also. Just imagine the stress of raiding a drug dealers house and something goes wrong. Or even worst , to arrive on a scene involving children being murdered or raped. It would be too much for me to handle. And yeah a day care provider would be stressful , I didn't think of that one.

Um...I guess most stressful in a administrative assistant...they have to juggle schedules of many people canceling and opening meeting here and there...plus file this or copy that and filter out the good e-mails from the bad...not to meantion they have to support a whole department of people usually and be asked constant questions....I know all this because my mom is an administrative assistant...hopt I spelled that right...
Wow, I am really surprised no one has mentioned this yet: being the President of the United States of America. I can't even begin to fathom the stress of being responsible for millions and millions of lives and being accountable to them, having to answer for every decision and act. Many people around the world really look to the president for leadership and guidance and to set an example. I really admire President Bush for all that he does for this country and for the world. Some may not think this way, saying he is well paid for it, that this is what he wanted to do with his life, and that he brings it all on himself. I think the pressure to NEVER make one mistake and to be constantly 'on your toes' for all the world to see and judge you by would be more than most could handle. I say, unless you've walked a mile in another's shoes, give them the benefit of the doubt.
P.S. Please don't bash me if there are any Bush haters here.
