Is it really that these jobs are difficult or just that you have a fair share of useless people doing them in the first place?

Ah I'm sorry but I work as a Customer support agent and it's a breeze compared to working in a nightclub as a barman - now that's a shíte job - crap hours, useless pay and nothing but abuse from drunks who've had to wait more than 5mins for a drink...ughh thank god I got outa that game!!

How in the name of god is being a stay-at-home Mum more difficult than the emergency services? If your child was possessed by Satan, then maybe, but I'd always assume someone who can easily die as a result of their job would be worse off than just being a parent.

Irelands most difficult job has to be Sean FitzPatricks postman.

Resisting the urge to post a juicy turd through his letterbox in the morning must
be incredibly hard!

Chuchoter

A midmorning show listened to by thousands of stay at home mums voted stay at home mums to be the hardest job. Shocking.

Why do Nurses get so much more credit than Doctors?

People assume Doctors are more important and work harder - they don't clean up the shít, vomit, deal with families after being given bad news, wash dead bodies before they're moved to the morgue etc. Doctor do tough work and have alot of it to do but Nurses are so underappreciated for the tough job they do it's sick!

thats ridiculous... sitting on yer backside, getting paid over the odds, taking phonecalls and all with the ability to hang up whenever you don't like where the call is going.

I used to work as a CSA for 2 and a half years for a large gambling company, and i moved on from it. Easiest job I ever had. Without a shadow of a doubt in my mind.

I've come out of college from working part time bar and club work and it's so much easier it's ridiculous - what you move onto afterwards you mind me asking...don't wanna be doing this forever!

Really this is just a list of occupations where you are afforded the time/chance to listen to the radio all day.

otherwise I'm pretty sure neurosurgeon would be on that list.

LMFAO Nurses are not unappreciated . All I ever hear about nurses is how unappreciated they are.

I'd say something if they were doing volunteer work - I'd actually treat them with respect but the way some of them force themselves upon you going about your daily business is annoying!! Also - you get past one on the street there's another 5yards away - space the fúck out people!

The missus is on placement at the moment she's studying nursing - I'm fairly up to speed on how she and other nurses are getting treated by what she's told me - and some of the jobs she's doing at the moment (unpaid) is fairly rotten

I would have thought honestly that lately it would have just have been "Someone working in the bank industry".

That just indicates that all darcy's listeners watch to much ****e yank t.v.
No way that is most difficult job in Ireland, dangerous at times.
Its a hard job and sometimes you dont get fcuk all pay but it aint as difficult as a lot of jobs.
You ask most skippers/crew what would be more difficult, wipen some old lads arse clean in a old folks home every day or tailing prawns for 8 hours?
Dont have to ask the answer to that one.
Get a grip darcy, difficult to you because you couldnt feckn work anyway!
They would'nt be all saying that if the were working the sea's and Ireland was'nt part of the E.U which is killing the fishing industry in this country, which is still employing people by the way!!!!

So your biased then. Doctors are far more important than nurses but don't get half as much appreciation. I think it's because people deal with nurses more and the nurse has more time to talk to them so they build up a bond with them. The relationship with Doctors is more professional.

I refuse to use that pathetic American "Stay at home MOM" reference or the other equally bullsh!t "Homemaker"...such bollocks.
HOUSEWIFE.
Anyway how is this job so fücking hard? OK it's a pain in the bollocks if she's got to take care of, say, 3 sprogs aged 2, 1, and a couple of months. But if they're of school age then the little **** are gone out of the house from 8:30 to 3:00. She gets them up, they dress themselves. She puts kettle on, squeezes the oranges, pours the cornflakes, butters the toast., etc. They eat, get their coats and bags and fück off. After that she can crash until 10:00 am. Then throw in the laundry and head up to the shops to get supplies for dinner and tea.
Come back home. Do the dusting and hoovering. Have coffee. Check the bills and make sure nothing's outstanding. Make some phone calls. Put laundry in dryer or hang on line or radiator. Wait for kids to return. Feed them, order them to their rooms to do homework. Call husband, tell him to pick up a bottle of plonk on the way home.
What so fücking gruelling about this job that it would be so much harder than a security guard in Abrekebabra or worse the poor cünt behind the counter? What about vegetable picker? Or parking attendant/clamper :eek:

housewife me bollocks.

But the nurses have to put up with more **** than Doctors. That's what makes their jobs more difficult.

10. Farmer
9. Construction Worker
8. Manager in any shape or form
7. The Emergency Services
6. ESB Linesman
5. A & E Nurse
4. Block Layer
3. Air Traffic Controller
2. Customer Service Agent

1. Deep Sea Fishing

Just in my personal opinion. I gave Farmer a token nod because it's a year round job but personally although I haven't done much farm work in my life I would find being my own boss rewarding and could see upsides to it.

I think Air Traffic Controller in a busy airport would be the worst but I put it behind the first 2 because it's probably not so tough in Ireland...

Stay at home moms and couriers my arse, atleast we know who listens to that show it's the stay at home moms with their whiny courier husbands.

What about the community welfare officer who gives out money to people not receiving social welfare.

In Edenderry they had to put up a perspex screen because she was assaulted a few times.
