    Deep sea fishermen have the most difficult job in Ireland, followed by A & E Nurses and Farmers. That’s according a study by IrishJobs.ie, Ireland’s leading recruitment website in conjunction with the Ray Darcy Show on Today FM.

    The Top 10 Most Difficult Jobs in Ireland, in reverse order, are:


    10. Construction Worker
    9. Courier
    8. ESB Linesman
    7. The Emergency Services
    6. Stay-at-home Mum
    5. Chicken Processing Plant Worker
    4. Customer Service Agent
    3. Farmer
    2. A & E Nurse

    1. Deep Sea Fishing

    Thats ray darcy's listeners opinion what do you guys think is the most difficult job?

    I reckon its a paramedic or fireman.

    Beauty therapists have the worst job in my opinion, having to do a back, sack and crack wax on a bloke is my idea of pure hell.

    Has anyone ever been to one of these places before?... It's sheer terror. I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. Should be number one on the list.

    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?

    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!

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

    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!
