Inside the Grueling Professions Shaping the UK

The Challenge of Essential Professions
According to a recent study, the UK's most challenging everyday jobs include those of firefighters, paramedics, and farmers. Surgeons, police officers, and care workers are also seen as professions for only the toughest individuals, while teachers and social workers engage in some of the most mentally demanding tasks.

The Call for Greater Appreciation
The research revealed that the majority of Brits believe these tough job roles deserve greater recognition for their crucial part in keeping the nation ticking over. A whopping 64% of people think these workers are essential to keeping the country running with calls for more appreciation due to their long hours, minimal rest, daily exposure to hazardous conditions, and dealing with dangerous individuals.

Technology for Resilient Occupations
Samsung commissioned the study to coincide with the launch of their new Rugged device range, crafted to withstand the demands of challenging work environments. To highlight the demands of agricultural work, Samsung collaborated with television personality and farmer Amanda Owens.
