The world's most & least stressful jobs

Location: Hadal Zone Job/hobbies: State Liquidator

From real estate agents to bomb disposal experts, there are many jobs that get your adrenalin pumping, but which one do you think tops the list?

A careers and recruitment website recently attempted to list of the world's most stressful jobs - and at the top were commercial air pilots, public relations officers, corporate executives, photojournalists, newscasters, advertising executives, architects, stockbrokers, medical technicians, and real estate agents.

According to their list, the least stressful jobs were audiologists, dieticians, software engineers, computer programmers, dental hygienists, speech pathologists, philosophers, mathematicians, occupational therapists and chiropractors.

The blue collar jobs that topped the high-stress list included firefighter, police officer and taxi driver, while occupations such as bookbinders, photo process workers, musical instrument repairers and auto assemblers were considered low-stress.

CareerCast researchers analysed 200 jobs in the US according to their environment, competitiveness and risk and then assigned a numerical value to factors that invoked stress.

They then looked at whether or not that factor was central to the job being evaluated. They apparently broke it down into factors like travel, deadlines, whether the work was in the public eye. They also looked at competitiveness, hazards and whether your own life or that of another was at risk.
