I knew that

According to this article, I work at two of the Top Ten most depressing jobs -- artist, and administrative support.

This is not a surprise, exactly -- both careers feature high performance expectations from people who are. . .less than completely educated. . .about the reality of the work involved, as well as huge chunks of stuff that has a Critical Bearing on your work and the ultimate success of same that are completely out of your control.

What I do find disturbing about this article is the commentary that suggests artists ought to find medical treatment for their stress; a recommendation that is made for none of the other careers listed.

Anybody here read "Phoenix" by Lee and Miller?

Ah, I have Loose Cannon on my Kindle, just not good about the names of individual stories. It does fit the article perfectly, should have thought of that. Kathy
