Men at Work

A proven trait of males is that they usually suppress stress. They couldn't show it or display it to other people. They hide it because they don't want others to think they are weak. But, stress is a natural thing that everyone experience; men just can't deal with this fact. Male stress is oftentimes caused by their professional life. Male stress comes from the uncertainty that men always worry about uncertainties in his future, business, or career path.

On the other hand, there are ways to fight male stress. One way is to take a break from work and spend more time with your family. Your family helps you take things at a lighter pace. Since you're too pressured by work, let your family time ease your day. The best way, maybe, is to travel or take a rejuvenating European cruise for you to relax and refresh yourself.

One perfect example of male stress is the case among Japanese men. Japan has the highest record of stress-related cause of suicide. Japanese men, whose age ranges from 35-44 years old, are the common people who commit suicide because of work. Consequently, suicide has become the top 13 common cause of a man's death. Take the case of Japanese executives who died on the same day; their common problem was company financial matters.

Once there was an old crackpot wizard who said that: Find a job that you'll enjoy and you'll never work a day in your life." I started this blog with such a quote because our topic for today is searching the dream job---yes, DREAM. Aye! So to start with, let me give you my simple definition of the real, feasible job: It is something where you can do whatever that interests you or you're passionate of, provided that the compensation is more than enough to support your daily survival needs.

It's very plain guys: if you love what you're doing as of the moment and you know you can give your hundred percent for that job, then that is the job of your dreams. Even the perfect job can be very difficult, and it's not like sitting in a couch and playing your Xbox 360 games. You don't need to do the apply-and-resign thing every month, because you might lose the chance to meet success as you travel back and forth the career world. The problem with some guys is that their pessimistic side always wins when they see something wrong with the work that they have. Thus, they end up resigning and venturing towards the long hurdle that only the unemployed tackle.

Men who belong in the huge population of the human workforce barely get ample time for themselves to get prepared for the day's work. Yes, we guys are extremely busy nowadays. So busy, in fact, that we tend to forget doing several of our morning rituals like shaving goatee, polishing shoes, and the most crucial -- eating breakfast. It is the most important meal, not lunch nor supper. However, we tend to skip eating breakfast not because we're on a South Beach diet, but because we're way too late for work.

Driving a car without a full tank of gasoline in the morn won't take you very far. This also happens to your brain if you don't have carbohydrates to invigorate your whole system. The human body is just like a machine that needs enough amount of fuel for it to function properly. If you don't have time for a heavy meal, eat fruits like bananas, apples, oranges, and grapefruits to help you get the energy that you need. You'll also get the vitamins and minerals that you lack. Contrary to common practice, milk and orange juices are better alternatives for that morning cup of coffee. Why? Simply because milk and orange juice have carbs for your mind. The simple lesson here is always put something healthy in your mouth before you go to work.

Men love sports so much than their girlfriends, but kidding aside, guys are really born to be an athlete set for the Olympics. They love sports like surfing; whether that's in the water, wind, or sand. But amongst the surfing games that I know of, one stands out because it is the reported craze by men today and they enjoy it a lot even without the surf board. Based on the study by a certain publisher of web security software conducted to a selected office workers, male office employees are spending half their office time surfing the net. The survey revealed that there are guys who admitted that they access web sites which are not relevant to their work during office hours. Aside from that, 22 percent of the male respondents divulge that they view pornography sites in their office workstation sometimes by accident, but most of the time intentionally. On the query that, would they give up their early mocha frappe or their portal to the Internet, unsurprisingly, more than half said that they'd rather ditch coffee than Internet access.

I find this study amusing because rarely are guys who would admit that they do such things in the office. But it also gave way to the idea that we guys are really honest when asked straight to the point questions. I wonder if my boss would take this report lightly, hopefully he will or else I'll not be able to finish my researches about illegal flying witch broomsticks. Anyway, I think there's nothing to be worried about this fact, unless you know that the guy beside you is a computer criminal or a nasty virus writer.

There are many guys engrossed with computer toady that is why they look for jobs that will lead them closer to their interest. After taking courses like Computer Science, Information Technology, and Information Management, they enter jobs as software developers, computer programmers and information technologists. But among those work related to computers, there is one that stood out and I think it is the noblest of them all. Being a technical support representative is not as easy as everyone think because contrary to that, being on the other end of the phone line looking for solutions to fix the vulnerable computer machine is as hard as developing a device that would make one richer than president Bill Gates. Pressure, intensity and stress is what tech supports get during and after their work shift because just like customer service representatives these helpful and patient people can get the nastiest and the foulest breed of callers 24/7.

And who are these callers I'm referring to that make the lives of tech support reps as bad as fiery, scourging heat and hell? It's no other than us, computer users who will deliberately give them a call whenever are PCs are sick. Despite the fact that these people get higher salaries than most people, there are more prone to diseases like ulcers, chronic laryngitis, and lung cancers since what they do to live is incessant talking over the phone. Although there are also women engaging in this job, the number of men is still bigger.

Aside from being a police or soldier, I think among the two that can be categorized as a very, super, ultra dangerous job is being a secret spy agent. Don't mind the exaggeration there because I really intend to do that to give you the feeling that it's really the kind of work that will put your life near great peril. But no matter the riskiness of the job, there are still some guys who are aiming and dreaming of being the real James Bond someday. Well, all I can do is give them my warmest good luck, because I really think they badly need luck top survive a life long thrill and suspense for a salary.

Being a secret spy agent is decent, although the danger that is attach to the said work makes me think that those guys are always looking for some action. With the popularity of the James Bond film and Mission Impossible, I won't blame people if they're really more than willing to put their lives to the ultimate test. Yes, there's more adventure and action to be found and experience with such a job, but I think this is only good for single men so that they have no family to join the endangered circle.

As a matter of fact, I can't see any fascinating in the job not unless you look like Pierce Brosnan or Tom Cruise, which is a must for spy agent wannabes. I think you guys should surf the net more often with your personal digital assistants and ask experts' advice before jumping to that impossible bandwagon. Secret agents in movies like Ethan Hunt were cracked up to look cute and cool in a harness while hanging outside a hundred and fifty-story building, but in real life, being head first 40 meters above doesn't exactly mean cute even if you check in your dictionary online or the old book. But no offense meant to spy agents out there, I'm proud and with you guys being nosy and always curious, and aside from that, I like your gadgets.

It is considered one of the most perilous occupation in the world, yet many choose to live a life of service to the community. Although more and more women are becoming cops, detectives, and federal agents, most of our law enforcers is still comprised of men. Undoubtedly,working in the law enforcement are very much rewarding with the high salary and numerous government benefits. So how does a man wake up to a day when he wants to become a cop?

During the early days, only men were allowed to enter the police force for several reasons. The main reason is that men has the strength and energy to knock down an amuck felon, the speed to chase a fleeing burglar, and the agility in combat and self-defense. Boys are taught to be tough, brave, well fit. More so, we all know that in the days of our forefathers only men were active in the society, with women left at home to do the chores and take care of their husband's children.

Despite so many controversy surrounding law enforcement resulting to the bad image of cops in the country, they still deserve respect from us as citizens of this country. These unsung heroes patrol our streets 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to guarantee our safety in the community that we live in. They take pride in performing their task, from assisting a kid or an elderly to cross the street to laying themselves in the path of a speeding bullet in the name of peace and justice.

This entry is definitely for all the women out there. I'll be sharing some insights about the most sought after men in the world. They can be sexy, most of them actually. They are all muscled, strong and a hunk for all season. This is not an exaggeration, but these guys are really the hottest men I've ever met. Okay, before your brains start imagining wild things, I'll go down to business. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm actually talking about firefighters. These brawny men are just around the corner. Bare-chested men in canvas pants and suspenders with axes and host, I 'm sure you'll set your house on fire just to be rescued by these guys. Our everyday heroes are not all looks and muscles.

Their main job is to save a dwelling from the blazing fire and from thefts as well who will likely take advantage of the fearful situation. They're brave and help people put out fire. They wait in their respective firehouses and wait for a fire alarm. When they hear a ring, off they'll fly to the place before disaster strikes. Ladder 59 is a great, stunning film dedicated to firefighters. If you ever had the chance to watch the movie, I'm sure you'll cry buckets of tears and admire these guys even more.

If we'll have a short flashback of time, news reports reveal stories about these uniformed men in picket lines instead of the firehouse. They were taught to serve the public, and they're very good at it. But the disheartening part is that no matter how risky their job is, their salary is sinking lower each year. I hope the government will make feasible resolution about this problem because the art of fire fighting means risking and saving lives.

Forensic experts are those guys who live to crack codes and clues, investigate crimes and explore
mysterious pasts of several suspects. The job maybe exciting and adventurous. However, being a forensic expert spells choosing between life and death.

There are guys who became interested about landing in the forensic job ever since the first episode of Crime Scene Investigation was aired in national television. But in real life, experts are like scavengers in the crime scene looking for possible evidence that link the clues and eventually lead to a valid answer. As an expert, searching for evidence can be exciting but most of the time it's grueling, really, and the best thing is, the work doesn't end there. They also used new computer tools and gadgets for DNA and ballistic examination.

Now, that's not funny anymore. Investigators still have to conduct special examination or sometimes experiments on the evidence that they've gathered. They interrogate prime suspects to check if they're just framed up and continue their normal lives or continue their lives in jail. There are myriad of mind boggling questions to solve. The answers, well they're like the blood orchid in the movie Anacondas. You have passed through a family of 40 feet snakes to get it, yeah, cool.
The field is actually a branch of law that deals which includes crime scene processing,forensic psychiatry, profiling and personal identification.

When we say teacher, we immediately think of a sinister-looking strict old lady, wearing cheap framed glasses with her hair tight in a bun. That's the first vivid image that comes in our mind. However, that was centuries ago. Now, when we hear the word teacher, we can also think of a hunk reading a passage from a story book to young pupils.

Yes, although females dominate the teaching industry, there are also male teachers out there. They are doing a great job as far as imparting discipline and patience is concerned. Male teachers understand young boys who concentrate more on their Xbox games than their studies, but they're not tolerating them. Though based on current reports, unfortunately, the population of male teachers is continually decreasing. It has been said that some consider it as a woman's job and the details on child abuse threaten some schools to hire men.

History says they're incorrect assumptions. And he brought you proof. Males have been the finest teachers in the world. Look at Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Lao Tzu, Frank McCourt, and the man who taught us the greatest lessons in life, Jesus Christ. I'm not saying that females don't have the right to become teachers, I'm telling the goodness of having guys as teachers.

Before, men's work is often characterized with energy, strength and power. Usually, when we hear the phrase " a man's job, we immediately think of construction or factory workers, body builders, baggers, seamen, and anything that deals with heavy equipment. I don't have any idea about the reason behind this, but sometimes, when we see guys who cannot perform death-defying stunts, we think of them as less masculine.

I think otherwise. I really admire guys who work as care givers. Yeah, right, I knew you're thinking that its a woman's job. And I also have the premonition that some of us consider that guys can't take care of themselves that's why they're not fit for the care giving situation. Well, if you think that way, you're an embarrassment to nature. Statistic shows that more males are engaging into the care giving job and most of them have better work performance than females.

I know it's a difficult job for them. Not all of them are used to changing adult diapers, feeding mentally retarded patients and other tasks. It is something that is not innate to them. In despite of that scenario, they are still up to the job. And I guess, they're effective particularly to male patients. This only proves that guys are also capable of making other people's lives worth living. The greatest tragedy of life is not that men die, but that they cease to love.

They start early in the morning and get home late. They spend the whole day outdoors, sweating under the heat of the intense sun. Still, girls love them. Have you already guessed who am I referring to?

That's right, the construction workers. In the United States, this is likely one of the top ten chosen professions of men. Why? I do not know exactly, but you understand how men are eager beavers when it comes tinkering with things and building objects? Well, that's probably the reason why men desire to go into the construction industry despite the obvious fact that it requires a lot of heavy work and outdoor endurance.

Some carpenters who are contracted to address house problems eventually end up as construction workers because aside from the opportunity to be manlier and to work in women's homes, it is the closest career to what they have been doing. Even though the pay is not that high, you get to be more respectable somehow with a construction worker status. So, what are you waiting for? Grab that hammer and hard hat now and start the testosterone-driven show.
