7. Radio Broadcasters – At The Will Of Technology
Not knowing anything about working for a radio station, it seems like a job where no one can see you and you spend most of the time risking people not listening to you. It also comes off as one of the most relaxing and pretty cool jobs out there. But researching stressful jobs in previous years, it turns out that being on the radio is pretty darn stressful. It makes sense that any job in which thousands of people engage with you on any level would be pretty harrowing, but throw in all the technology the DJs need to use, cranky callers complaining about one’s latest thinly veiled Justin Bieber insult, and having to work at all hours of the day, and a perfect stress environment can occur.
Think about all the times you have had problems with your computer freezing or your Operating System flat out crashing, and then imagine that problem being broadcast live for everyone to hear. Stalling for time while rebooting one’s system does not make for entertaining radio, but does lead to a lot of panic and anxiety.
