May 16: Oh dear, We IT folk are the most Stressed

A poll shows what us IT folk (we are very nice really)  have known for years, that IT support is one of the most stressful jobs around. Well so says Skillsoft after it polled over 3500 IT 'experts', if it's the same experts I have heard of, I'm not surprised they find it stressful, most don't even know how to install more than 1 operating system, know how to fix a BSOD (a nasty problem that when happens can be a bit of a worry, but most times it's ok)
So what are the other jobs? Well the folks at El Reg have a report on it, here are the results.
  1. IT
  2. Medicine/Caring Profession
  3. Engineering
  4. Sales and Marketing
  5. Education
  6. Finance
  7. Human Resources
  8. Operations
  9. Production
  10. Clerical
There you go, us IT peeps get pestered by those below the in the list.
To go further, there are obviously far more stressful jobs, and again the folks at El Reg have delivered.

  1. Iraqi police recruit
  2. US Army bomb disposal expert
  3. Baghdad A&E doctor
  4. British Airways pilot
  5. Naomi Campbell's personal assistant
  6. Naomi Campbell's housekeeper
  7. Dick Cheney's shooting buddy
  8. Steve Ballmer's office furniture supplier
  9. President Bush's grammatical consultant
  10. Wayne Rooney's fiancée
  11. IT journalist
I think the guy who does the grammar for Bush has given up! I suppose if you Cheney's shooting buddy, but not a lawyer, you may just be ok, or disguise yourself as a quail and you'll be safe. Just make sure he's not sober!
