“Recently, my nine-year-old son proudly announced to me that he wanted to become a commercial airline pilot when he grows up. I\u2019m happy for him because he spends hours reading books about airplanes, and he loves to play airplane game apps. It\u2019s great to know what career you want at such a young age. As well, the average annual salary for an airline pilot is quite good: US$105,270. Also, being an airline pilot means that you might travel to many exotic locations around the world places that most people might never get a chance to see. However, I wonder if his choice of career is one that I should encourage. You see, this morning I googled \u201cmost stressful jobs\u201d and I discovered that my son\u2019s dream career is actually the third most stressful job on a list of top ten most stressful jobs. This makes sense because as a pilot you are responsible for the lives of hundreds of people, you are away from home for many days at a time, and you may have to fly through many different time zones which can be very difficult to adjust to. Number one on the list was \u201cmilitary personnel\u201d (soldier) and number two was \u201cfirefighter\u201d. Of course, jobs like these are very dangerous \u2013 you must put your life in danger almost daily. Interestingly, however, \u201ctaxi driver\u201d was also on the list (at number ten). “<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
