There's something awfully broken in a society that would argue that the entire youth of a nation should be conditioned to accept stress as normal or acceptable, and that stress should be considered normal in any working environment.

- rewmie 3y agoThere's a colossal difference between encountering stressful situations and thinking it's normal that jobs should be so stressful so often that the national school curriculum should prepare people to endure mental and emotional abuse. There is no way around it: it's screwed up.

But if you really want a less stressful job there are plenty outside of silicon valley and wall street, you'll just have to live with being paid significantly less. Don't see why you have to ruin the jobs that work well for so many others.
