10-year growth projection: –14.0 percent

Typical education: High school diploma or equivalent
Stress score: 63.0
Mobile Apps like Expedia, Travelocity, and Kayak are making things tough for traditional travel agents because these apps can do what an agent can with better options, and most importantly you get to access it on the go.  So looking for a job in this profession might not make sense. Ticket agents are the individuals who work at airports, railroad depots and bus stations and more often than not absorb the brunt of travelers' frustrations. So it's no surprise that these workers report one of the highest stress levels on this list and more often deal with criticism, come across angry people and handle time pressures.
To further add on to their woos technology has made a significant impact on the number of ticket agent jobs available. Many airlines are moving to automated travel and therefore have reduced the need for some workers.
