Ok, I dont know anything about CareerCast, so I am not sure how much actual science went into this, but in their recent guide to the nations (United States) most and least stressful jobs, photojournalism came in as the fourth most stressful. Here is a bit of the list:
1. Commercial Airline Pilot
Pay: $117,060
2. Public Relations Executive
Pay: $101,850
3. Senior Corporate Executive
Pay: $167,280
4. Photojournalist
Pay: $43,270
The articles also gave figures such as "stress rank, stress score, hiring outlook etc." What was most interesting to me was what was listed as the average income for each job (I have included their quoted figures above.) Of course no one gets into photography for the money, but you would think that the fourth most stressful job would be at least a little bit closer to the rate of pay of the third...not 1/4th of the pay! I would have liked for them to also include factors such as "likelihood of stepping on a land mine, possibility of getting shot or kidnapped, chances of ending up with PTSD etc." I think that if these things were considered we may have made our way further up the list.
Anyway, the executives can keep all that money and I will keep all of my experiences and friends in every corner of the globe. $43,270 is not the worst thing in the world, as long as you are not having to make payments on a mercedes and 2nd home :)
IMHO - The stressfull is raw food in photojournalism and turn to sweetness once their images give positive impact to the matter which they want to highlight it...that was from my experiances.

I guess I better prepare myself then. It's always been a factor in the back of my mind, but then you leave your front door and you meet the people and the experiences (and this is just from city living) and well....money suddenly becomes of a slightly less relevance (can't completely deny it's need).

The basic rules that most photojournalists agree to is that news photojournalists are not allowed to add, move or delete anything in the photo.One of the most important qualities of a photojournalist is his ability to react quickly when he comes along a scene that may be news worthy.

Being shot at and targeted with roadside bombs is certainly nerve-racking and dangerous, so it’s no surprise that the job of being an enlisted soldier in the U.S. military ranks as the nation’s most stressful job. That’s according to CareerCast.com’s annual survey of 200 different professions. The survey measures work environment, job competitiveness, risk and related factors. For enduring that peril and stress, enlisted military soldiers earn an average yearly income of $35,580. Military generals were ranked as having the fourth-most stressful job in the nation, but their average annual income is $196,300.
