The biggest career stressor? Dealing with frequent, hard deadlines — 38 percent of people agreed on this point. Growth potential and interacting with the public tied for second place, with 14 percent of people naming each of these the top culprit.
Throw some danger into the job description and you’ve got the perfect storm, at least according to an analysis by CareerCast.
