We all have stressors at our jobs, but in some jobs there is way more. I work on campus, so I do not experience too much stress in my job, but I know my summer job was pretty stressful. This article talks about job stress, which in small doses can be motivating to get tasks done, but too much can cause a person to burnout.

I think this website is very informational. I am getting my I/O certificate and we go over all of these things that the site discussed. It is very important for a person to fit well in their job. I've has a bed job before, and it makes everyday life almost intolerable. However, a good job where a person can have fun can make life more enjoyable. When you apply for a job its hard to imagine how much a job effects a person, but when you think about it, it takes up so much of your day's and weeks. It would be awful to be in a job that you do not enjoy. Great website!
Good article. I had a job that was fun and paid very well but the pay was all commission. No sales, no paycheck. The stress really gets to you when you know a non paycheck week is coming and the rent is due, the car is outta gas and you don't want to see mac and cheese on the menu again.
I found this article to be very true, when reading it I didn't look so much at my job, because I also work on campus and its not stressful at all, more enjoyable then anything, it gets me away from my studies and I like to think it keeps me sane. Furthermore, this article made me realize that my mom has a lot of stress at her job which is working for an OBGYN clinic, which includes checking in hundreds of patients daily, being yelled at by doctors and patients and so forth. Anyways what I'm getting at is my mom has high levels of stress in her life and doesn't know how to cope with it. I was struck by how the health care jobs burnout, beacause that is what I am going towards, which scared me because I don't want to go to college for so many years plus graduate school to get burnt out of my job, then what will i do? Overall, I do think these tips could help people with high stress levels in their jobs or just stressful jobs in general.
