somebody in the comments section pointed out that that entire yahoo page seems to be sponsored by university of phoenix. "being a http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/0gBZwi0EaRJmRIGHZs2d9A--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTE5MA--/http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/power-your-future/surgeon.gif isn't really that great, might as well go to phoenix..."

(sbs self)

haha i was going to o_O at the idea that being a http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/HYZNN0dlwBWM_BIcGIqMOQ--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTE5MA--/http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/power-your-future/physician.gif is overrated, but if u of phoenix is behind this, it makes sense.

The average annual salary of a http://l1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/MF_QciZkZFdHXNp8fGMhuQ--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTE5MA--/http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/power-your-future/stockbroker.gif is $67,470, according to CareerCast.com. The primary stressor that makes the job overrated is the burden of being responsible for the financial well-being of multiple clients. This holds particularly true in today's volatile and unpredictable stock market.

yeah i don't think stockbrokers are really stressed about that

"I just can't handle the burden of being responsible for the financial well-being of multiple clients in today's volatile and unpredictable stock market"
