Sure, there are more challenging fields, but PR has its fair share of stressors. Check it out and weigh in.

At the risk of this post coming off as slightly depressing for anyone interested in pursuing a career in PR, I’ve decided to have a little fun and run this list anyway.
I want to stress that I realize there are many other jobs that are much more challenging (being in the military, a doctor, teacher, etc.) than working in PR, but like I said, let’s have a little fun with this.

10. Demanding clients. They always want more results.
9. Demanding bosses. See above.

7. Time management difficulties. No matter how many clients you may have, the work has to get done.
