Photojournalists, air traffic controllers, librarians, surgeons,…Who has the most stress at work?  Psychologist Saqib Saddiq says that librarians have the most stressful job.  Why?  How is that possible?  A photojournalist often travels to dangerous places, but a librarian spends every day in a quiet room.  A surgeon looks inside people’s bodies, but a librarian only opens books.  An air traffic controller manages new situations every day, but a librarian sees the same old books all the time.  What, then, is so stressful about a librarian’s job?  To find out, Mr Saddiq interviewed a lot of librarians.  Here are the things that librarians say about their job: “Libraries are boring places.” “A librarian doesn’t do a lot of different things: every day at work is the same, week after week.”  “Other people often tell us what to do.”  People in dangerous jobs, for example police officers, get a lot of help and training, but librarians are all alone with their stress because we think they have an easy job.
