Can Job Stress Kill?

This is one of my pet-peeves about modern American culture: most people live to work, rather than working to live. Everything is done in the name of the career, and very little is done in the name of physical and spiritual well-being.

I wonder if more people realized that their bodies are their most prized possessions and are more important than their careers, whether people would choose jobs for reasons other than just money. Especially if they knew that certain jobs can kill you through stress (See the infographic below from HR MBA). Part of the problem with our economy and society is that everything gets evaluated by the bottom line, the almighty dollar. So your value as a person is often equated with your career and the amount of money you make.

Start making choices for your quality of life!
