Holy Chromoly! No wonder school PR folks are stressed! – SCN Encourager

We’re all on this list… somewhere!

Screen Shot 2016-04-20 at 8.19.24 PMThree cheers for #6!

That’s the spot CareerCast slotted for “PR pros” when compiling their list of the Top Ten “Most Stressful” positions.

I’m not making this up.

The proof is right here.

But this list is very, very interesting, don’tcha think?

Sure, a number of jobs are totally ignored (brain surgeon, little league baseball umpire, shark whisperer, etc.) but so what?

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t print this out and hang it on your office door.

I am.
You should, too!

1) Enlisted military personnel

2) Firefighter

3) Airline pilot

4) Police officer

5) Event co-ordinator

6) PR executive

7) Senior corporate executive

8) Broadcaster

9) Newspaper reporter

10) Taxi driver

AND – if you’ve ever done something like nabbing a trio of 3rd grade boys playing with matches in the bathroom or getting caught up in one of your school lockdowns – you may even want to give yourself credit for #s 2 and 4 as well.

Of course, all of this may be a stretch, but think of all that you do.

It’s a stretch that shouldn’t be all that hard to make.

Only a superintendent (coming in at spot #7) can proudly sport an additional “red star” with any integrity.

So let’s face it.

Your stress is well earned.

Mine too.

Well done!
