CareerCast is at it again. Two years after naming “Public Relations Executive” the 7th stressful-est job on the planet, the listings group released the latest version of its annual report designed to determine which careers correlate most directly with chronic alcoholism.

You may be shocked to learn that “Event Coordinator” and “PR Exec” each jumped one place on the top ten list—they’re now at #5 and #6, respectively.

We’ve already established the fact that such lists are totally subjective and serve primarily to start “conversations”, so let’s ask some alternate questions…

  • Why did the “median salary” for said exec drop from $91,810 to $54,170? Did we miss something, or has Bitcoin derailed the entire monetary system?
  • What’s so stressful about being a “newspaper reporter“, anyway? (Just kidding.)
