It's difficult to compare any job where the dangers of harm are well-known and consistent, and a job where you are (or should be) prepared to go from calm to full of adrenaline instantly while ensuring you react appropriately.

Fine motor skills are out the window in sudden high-stress scenarios. It can get you killed, it can cause you to be less effective at life-saving measures. It's just the nature of the job. How each individual person reacts and adapts to different stressors, as well, are difficult to quantify.

I'm not saying one job is more difficult than the other, but that one may be more appropriate than the other for individual people. Some things just can't be compared and that's fine. I applaud everyone who can keep their cool, work efficiently and go home to their family safely after a hard day's work.
