Some jobs in the lower half of our 200 rankings still require extensive higher education, such as physician and surgeon, but a larger percentage need only specialized training or, in the case of janitor, waiter/waitress, and salesperson, basic instruction to master. Surgeon may be a highly-paid, well respected profession, but scoring dead last in stress and fourth from the bottom in work environment helps to lower its overall ranking.
