Is Nuclear Engineering a Stress-Free Field?

[QUOTE="jbriggs444, post: 6308259, member: 422467"] Speaking from where I sit, the stress is pretty managable (network engineer, late in career, pretty well burned out). The primary stressor is: Network is down. I'm the only guy who knows enough to get it back up. It's late friday, I'm not sure what's going on yet and the phone is ringing with folks asking for status updates, suggesting quick fixes or asking that I disprove theories that I'd already discarded half an hour ago. The stress is manageable because 1. I'm not in the on-call rotation any more. 2. I can almost always solve their little problems. 3. Tricky problems with well-defined symptoms are a blast to solve. 4. I am well respected in my little community. [/QUOTE]
