We all have to deal with a certain amount of stress at the workplace. Some jobs can be more stressful than others, as well as being physically dangerous.Some of the factors to determine the stress levels of a particular occupation include: travel, deadlines, competitiveness, physical demands, environmental conditions, hazards encountered, the life of oneself or others at risk, and interacting with the public.

Does your job make the list? According to careercast.com a broadcasting career comes in at number 8 for 2016. In my opinion, I don't know how you could compare the levels of stress in my job with the top five that made this year's list.
