I can't see one of these being stress free. Honestly, what are these people thinking? Accountants and graphic desingers don't have deadlines? Preschool teachers have no stress?
The only one that might have a low stress level as far as I can tell is a maassage therapist. Depending on where you worked and if you have enough of a clientele to make a living.
Whoever wrote this article is clearly ill-informed, if not intentionally misleading people for the sake of promoting online degree programs.
My husband has a degree on computer science and his job is certainly not low-stress.
The author has also never known an accountant during tax season!
Ha, ha. I remember my CNA days, and while I'll grant you that it had its positive moments, I also remember that it was a frenetic job even when we weren't horribly understaffed and the residents were happy. When we were understaffed, and the residents were sick, angry, or yelling, you'd want to rip your hair out. And the physical demands of the job only add to the stress.
False advertising, indeed.
please....trying to dodge work on days off cause we're always short-staffed...meeting everyone's needs from the demanding patient to the complete total care patient with family who is crazy....
trying to cram 18 hours of work into a 12 hr shift.....it is NOT low stress...and nursing adds to the stress of being responsible for someone's life while they're in your care.....I think somebody needs a dose of the real world.
