The fact that only one healthcare-related job (namely, surgeon) is listed among the top 10 stressful jobs is also considerable.
Open Discussion: What do you think about this ranking? Do you think any other job should be listed in the top 10 list? Do you believe that a ranking for most stressful jobs in your country would include the same jobs listed here or is there (in your opinion) any other job which is more stressful in your country?

My cousin recommended this blog and she was totally right. Keep up the fantastic work!
i think being a surgeon is the most stressfull job coz saving a life is more complicated than driving a taxi …..
Well, that list definitely does not apply to my country (India) …. surgeons are one of the less stressed out doctors here… gynaecologists, physicians, paediatricians would top the list …. Even neurosurgery may be a more stressful branch… especially in my college…
I so agree. Definitely an ER physician/nurse faces lots and lots of stress. I’m also wondering how a taxi driver might face more stress than them!!! :-O
i’m thinking is a real state agent work more stressfull than an ER doctor or nurse????
i think it is not an accurate one!!!!
this time cnbc have done a big mistake i think.
