Greetings Aluxers and welcome back for another insightful video we carefully crafted here at alux.com.
Today we’re going to be talking a little about the most stressful jobs in the world, why are they so stressing and what you can do to make it better.
We’ve seen it time and time again how work-related stress can damage relationships, productivity, physical and mental health, and so much more…
It’s sad to say that in our society, stress is almost a given.
You start young worrying about getting good grades, then worrying about passing exams, then gettings good results at work, then when you’re older,
stressing about your health-giving out before you can enjoy your pension and more time with your loved ones.
It’s kinda terrible, let’s be honest.
When it comes to professions, some naturally come with higher levels of stress, while others will take you totally by surprise, because stress takes many shapes and forms.
When it came down to ranking the most stressful jobs the system took into account 11 job demands that evoke stress.
These factors included:
So, without going too much into detail, let's have a look at the top most stressful jobs in the world:
Potential causes of stress: Traffic, directions, vulnerability.
Taxi drivers face a rather unique type of stress because they never know who their next passenger could be.
It might be someone running late for a flight, some cranky old people coming back from a doctor’s visit, or it could even be a serial killer.
The combination of low wages, slow employment growth, bad weather, lunatic traffic participants, drunk and rude passengers,
along with other undesirable work environment issues
not to mention the fact their jobs are going to be among the first replaced by robots in the near future makes this job highly stressful.
Also, according to statistics, this profession faces the highest murder rates on the job than any other.
Potential causes of stress: People management, high-stakes decision-making.
Making this high on the corporate ladder comes with plenty of responsibilities, pressure and of course lots of stress.
More often than not, this role comes with plenty of pressure from having to manage a lot of people with different personalities,
various commitments, and in many cases thousands or millions of dollars at any given time.
Furthermore, being the top person that makes important decisions and affects the way things are running,
requires that you spend quite a few hours outside those mentioned in the initial contract to make sure everything runs as smooth as possible.
And, that sooner or later can result in burnout, depression, anxiety or even substance abuse.
Potential causes of stress: High public visibility, public speaking, management of bad publicity.
These professionals are responsible for managing a diverse pallet of people with different needs and personalities
and these clients can sometimes carry unrealistic expectations about how public relations can solve their problems.
Nowadays, with the media constantly changing and keeping up with the latest trends, along with dealing with different celebrities and public figures
will lead to exhaustion coupled with varying degrees of stress in no time flat.
Potential causes of stress: Strict deadlines.
Having to deal with the uncertainty of not knowing what tomorrow’s destination for a story will be,
along with the pressure of constantly publishing before your competition, can cause serious physical and mental taxing in the long run.
The competitiveness in this field is fierce and getting more eyeballs on your piece first, can lead to some bold, reckless decisions, which can endanger one’s safety.
This alone speaks of the high level of stress reporting jobs can lead to.
Potential causes of stress: Strict deadlines, large-scale organizations.
Juggling deadlines, vendors, intricate details, unique client personalities and last-minute chaos that can potentially rise to ruin your plans
requires constant multitasking, hypervigilance, good memory all of which can result in excess stress.

Also, having to deal with environmental hazards, overtime, fatigue, agitation,
along with other physical and psychological symptoms makes this job one of the most stressful around.

and deal with life-threatening situations such as armed robberies and making arrests and confronting dangerous people.

along with ensuring that communities run smoothly and safely on a regular basis,
this continuous tension can wear out even the toughest of individuals and includes a lot of stress, which is tipically accompanied by other health issues.

during the long hours while being in the air, along with unexpected changes in schedules can be very taxing on pilots.
Airline pilots often experience irregular working hours, which can result in fatigue and jet lag.
These coupled with time away from friends and family can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression.
However, this position is quite prestigious and, although it comes with its unique stress factors,
having a high paycheck at the end of the day makes it all worth it for many pilots.
