Thanks to a Silicon.com article, I came across a list of the most stressful and least stressful jobs as rated by CareerCast.com. I was surprised to see that people in IT related jobs such as computer system analyst and software engineer are considered to have some of the least stressful jobs around. Really, less stress in IT?
I wasn't always in information technology and my previous jobs over the years have ranged greatly from dish washer to meteorologist. My career in IT has brought to me fun challenges, stable work hours, good money, and many other rewards. However, I also have to say that the same IT career has brought me more stress and anxiety than any other job I have had in my life.
If you are in IT, do you feel the same high stress as I do? Or am I some type of computer geek oddball feeling more stress than I should? I really want to know! So please, take the latest poll at CMS Report and answer: How stressful is your information technology job?
