4. Airplane Pilot – Thousands Of Feet In The Sky
As technology gets more and more advanced, being an airplane pilot gets easier and easier. You have more buttons and monitors to deal with, but the planes themselves fly automatically to a much greater extent than they used to. This doesn’t seem to lower the stress of actually being a pilot, though. In order to fly for a major airline, one needs to have extensive training and experience. But feeling like you are responsible for hundreds of passengers’ and flight crews’ lives creates a field of constant anxiety. If the worst happens, it is up to the pilot to save everyone, him or herself included, on board, and in some cases on the ground depending on where the plane can land. There is a reason that pilots who save lives in a crash are heralded so heroically.
