Wasn't airline pilot also voted the most stressful job some time back? Let me sum it up then:

>Most stressful
>Cost of failure is potentially career ending/fatal
>Quickly becoming moderately/poorly paid
>Handles tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment and hundreds of lives at any one time, all day every day
>Airlines truly believe (and advertise) that we don't really do anything "up there"
>Get put through the ringer every 3-6 months in the simulator
>Get put through the ringer every year by a Doctor
>Have to beg for basic human right most days
>And don't forget, we have to indemnify ourselves against loss of licence too

Riiiiiiiiiight! What was I thinking? Should have become an accountant
