1. Social Worker
Median pay: $43,200
% who say their job is stressful: 72%
Social workers step in when everyone else steps aside to help people and families in vulnerable situations. They provide patients with education and counseling, advise care givers and make referrals for other services. And with social workers in short supply and programs underfunded, few must juggle the work of many, while reaping little reward.
Just ask Heather Griffith, a social worker who works with children in intensive foster care in Boston: "You're getting paid $12 an hour and kids are screaming at you, telling you that you are just in it for the money and you're just like, really?"

i wonder how much "microsoft software engineer" pays lmfao

I didn't see Chef, and that is easily one of the most fast-paced jobs I can think of, which includes both stress and shitty pay.

I dont know why 'prostitute' isn't there, thats a professional job, it must get quite stressful loving so many people a day. Mind you, they don't pay taxes so maybe thats why they're not included in the poll.
-
Don't most "professional" jobs suck? Unless you are a rock star, or a video game tester, or involved in some other rare/fun type of employment, I would have to say so.

@VROTK the guy who had to program the BSOD and all of those viruses... lol thats y i said lmfao

This is upsetting, I am a social worker and I do not feel this way. This women was not properly trained, and she has no awareness as to why these children are angry. Of course foster youth are mean to her, they have a lot going on in their lives, it's her job to work with them!
-
Social workers will burn out really fast thats when bad things happen. To much abuse not enough workers.
-
