Stress

No one will be surprised if the stress of your job has you reaching for a cigarette or two. Or ten. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised if you became a chain-smoker to cope with the stress of brokering multi-billion-dollar deals. You think corporate lawyers have it bad? Pssshhh. Their clients may be megalomaniac hotel magnates, oil tycoons, or upper-level execs at a fast food chain. But you work crazy-long hours, never more than a foot away from your BlackBerry (a.k.a. your best friend and only companion) for crazy-important clients in an industry where the walls are rapidly closing in from all sides. (Thanks, government.) Life isn’t easy for you.
