Physical Strength vs. Emotional Resilience in High-Stress Jobs
Working as an appliance repair tech, I’ve had my share of long, grueling days, but I can’t imagine what coroners go through. The physical demands seem intense, but the emotional toll has to be next level. It got me wondering for jobs like that, what’s more important: being physically strong or emotionally resilient?
I’ve dealt with my fair share of stress, both from heavy lifting and frustrating customer situations, but high-stress fields like emergency response or forensic work seem like a whole different beast. Do you think one outweighs the other, or is it more about finding a balance? Curious to hear from folks in similar roles how do you handle it?
