8. School Teacher – Crappy Pay, Increase In School Shootings

 smiling-1280975_1920

In the past, being a school teacher was not considered a particularly dangerous job like some of the other jobs on this list, but in recent years, the amount of gun violence on school campuses has made people rethink the safety of teachers a little bit. Almost twenty school shootings in 2015 alone is about twenty-five too many school shootings, but other than the stress from constant fear one’s students may be armed, the vast amount of time it takes to plan the entire curriculum, actually follow through on the curriculum, and deal with the ramifications of the curriculum (grading papers, tests, and justifying your papers and tests to parents and administration) is extremely stressful.  In addition, teachers are paid a fraction of what they are worth which exacerbates the stress of this profession.  It is little wonder that many states deal with teacher shortages yearly.
