Here are 10 jobs that come with equal amounts of stress and satisfaction

I focused on number 7 and decided to share with you.

"7. Real estate agents Why it's stressful: Many real estate agents work on commission, and relying on a sale to earn a paycheck is stressful. Home buyers don't like to commit to mortgages unless they're positive it's the right move; between their timid nature and the fickle economy, you never know what kind of client you're dealing with.Why it's worth it: Aside from having freedom from a regular office job, real-estate agents get to fulfill that quintessential dream of adulthood: to own property. People save for years to invest in a home, and you get to be part of that process.How much you'll earn: $39,968
