Tech jobs take stress to whole new levels
I have always enjoyed my career in IT, but what do you guys think of this..
Attention all you laid-back IT professionals: a new study claims that IT is the most stressful occupation, ahead of engineering, sales, finance, HR, and pretty much everything else.
The study, commissioned by e-learning provider Skillsoft, surveyed 3,000 people and found that 97 percent of IT pros report daily stress stemming from user complaints, managers, and deadlines. Common complaints included stress due to taking on other people’s work; lack of job satisfaction; lack of control over daily duties; and managerial pressure, interruptions, and bullying.
This is true. Most of my friends that are in IT are almost stressed everytime. Though the pay is little more than other profession - the workload is too much.
I am enjoying being in IT.
