Senior IT consultants believe they have the most stressful job in the UK, as they struggle to deal with system breakdowns and virus attacks.
Seventy-one percent of these put-upon people reckon their working lives are extraordinarily stressful--a higher percentage than air-traffic controllers and even firefighters who (it could be argued) really do deal with some tricky situations.
That's if some research from low-cost travel insurance provider Journeywise is to be believed. Police officers also score highly on the stress-o-meter.
At the other end of the scale are activity specialists working in places such as hotels and nursing homes, and choreographers, who have a relatively stress-free and healthy lifestyle, as they practice their craft on a daily basis while focusing on a group endeavour.
But the award for the least stressed group of professionals (and we use the word 'professional' advisedly) goes to journalists.
Sadly, this means we can't take advantage of a 10 percent travel insurance discount being offered by Journeywise for het-up IT consultants who need a break.
