The 7 Most Demanding Jobs in Missouri Require Nerves of Steel

How demanding is your job? A new survey has revealed the 7 most demanding jobs in Missouri and odds are you and I have it much easier than those in these professions do.

Few would argue that I have one of the easiest jobs in the world. Other than straining my voice or tripping over my shoelaces on the way to the snack machine, it's not very demanding to play songs on the radio while occasionally saying questionable things about them. A new survey shared by Study Finds lists 20 of the most demanding professions in the world. Here are the 7 toughest in Missouri.

I have friends and/or family in every single one of these professions and I can tell you that they had to invest years of dedication just to get the training they needed to get started. They also are among the most honorable people I've ever known on this Earth. It's easy to take for granted when you have a job that really doesn't ask that much of you. I think in this current environment many of us have stress levels that are higher than they've been in previous decades. Still, my career choice is cushy compared to any of the 7 on this list. Many of them save lives every day. As for me, I consider it a good day when I don't say something that results in an appearance at a city council meeting.
