(#11) Table Busser
Table bussers do not have glamorous jobs. The job has all the stress of working in a fast paced environment, with few of the perks. Bussers usually get small portions of the restaurant tips, but they generally only make minimum wage. These employees run around the restaurant clearing tables, carrying heavy bins, and washing dishes. Their clothes get stained; their legs get tired legs; and their arms are often sore.

(#3) Window Washer
Window washers have behind-the-scenes service jobs that almost always involve scary heights. Window washers also face daily exposure to chemicals, weather, and other malignant elements. Injury rates are high; about eight window washers in New York City are involved in accidents each year, and 75 died on the job there between 1983 and 2008.
These workers must all deal with the pressure of being watched by people on the other side of the windows.

(#2) Septic Tank Servicer
If you're having trouble with your sewage system, a septic tank servicer comes to help. Dealing with sewage is easier than it was in the past, but technicians still have to get their hands dirty. They climb into small, unsanitary places and do all sorts of he dirty work. Plus, they have to deal with frustrated home owners. Richard Rosano, owner of R.W. Rosano Excavation and Septic Specialists, said hiring for his latest tank servicer position took nine months because the job was so intensive. The starting hourly wage was $17.

(#8) Retail Woker
Customers constantly complain about prices and parents let their children run wild; no wonder working in retail is challenging. Retail employees endure long hours, demanding shoppers, and low wages. Plus they have to keep stores under control during the holiday season; working retail around Christmas means juggling late hours while everyone else attends holiday parties or family functions.

(#4) Restaurant Server
Being a restaurant server is tiring. Research has shown that while highly lauded jobs may seem challenging, work-related stress is largely dependent on whether or not your job allows you to feel in control and respected. Dealing with rude, demanding restaurant clientele, is emotionally draining work, and servers can't really expect to be in control of their work environments.
On top of that, serving is also physically demanding. Food service employees who track their steps claim to walk at least six miles per shift while carrying heavy plates and trays.

(#6) Barista
Baristas deal with cranky people who haven't have had their morning caffeine. To deal with crazy customized orders and people who want their drinks remade multiple times, you must have a lot of patience. One Starbucks barista said the worst customers were "the ones who felt their drink was wrong and... remarked to a friend with them... 'How hard can it be?'"
Indeed, being undervalued and underestimated can be extremely stressful. But, at least baristas have coffee to help them through the day!
