UK's toughest jobs that include farming and emergency services
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 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. 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. Owens shed light on the taxing demands of farm work, including dealing with animals and machinery early in cold mornings and during severe weather conditions. Amanda Owen expressed the importance of resilient technology on the farm: " Farming isn't for the faint hearted – we're up before dawn, battling the elements, and it takes real resilience out here." She added: "In this environment, our tech needs to be just as tough – anything that can't handle water or a drop is a liability. We need something rugged on the outside, smart on the inside, that can keep up with the job." Recent findings indicate that almost half of Britons doubt their ability to handle physically demanding jobs. This figure falls to 40% among men, while 52% of women feel confident in tackling roles requiring greater emotional and mental strength. Young people appear more willing to embrace labour-intensive roles, with 61% of those aged 18-24 open to such work compared to a mere 11% of Boomers who are reluctant to engage in these types of jobs. Annika Bizon from Samsung UK and Ireland, makers of the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro and Tab Active5 Pro Enterprise Edition devised for extreme conditions, expressed: "Tough roles demand robust support." She added: "Whether it's maintaining connectivity in the field or ensuring mission-critical tasks aren't interrupted, having the right tech in place is essential. "The Rugged range has been engineered specifically for these environments - combining military-grade durability with the business tools workforces require."

Toughest jobs in the UK include firefighters, farmers and paramedics
Research carried out among 2,000 adults found the majority of people believe the UK needs to do more to recognise those who perform tough jobs Firefighters, paramedics, and farmers are ranked among the UK's toughest jobs according to a recent study, which also recognises the demanding roles of surgeons, police officers, and care workers. In addition, teachers and social workers were also noted as performing some of the most mentally exhausting work there is. The survey revealed that over two thirds of Brits think it is time we show more appreciation for those in tough positions and who, many believe, are essential to keeping the country running. They believe these heroes deserve greater accolades for enduring long hours, hazardous conditions, and frequently dealing with dangerous individuals. The study was commissioned by Samsung to launch their latest Rugged device range, which is designed to withstand the demands of challenging work environments. As part of its campaign, Samsung collaborated with TV farmer Amanda Owens to give an insight into the realities of working life on a farm: from mucking out and herding animals to operating machinery and navigating unpredictable weather. Amanda commented: "Farming isn't for the faint hearted – we're up before dawn, battling the elements, and it takes real resilience out here. In this environment, our tech needs to be just as tough – anything that can't handle water or a drop is a liability. We need something rugged on the outside, smart on the inside, that can keep up with the job." Almost half of Brits admitted they don't believe they have the resilience to take on a physically demanding role. This figure dropped to 40% among men. Meanwhile, 52% of women believe they have what it takes to handle roles that might require higher levels of emotional and mental capacity. The younger crowd seems more open to challenging work, with 61% of 18-24 year olds considering physically tough careers. This compares with just 11% of Boomers, who prefer to steer clear of jobs they'd deem tough. There's a common misconception that physically strenuous jobs don't need advanced technology; however, 90% of respondents believe that devices designed for harsh conditions are crucial for making these jobs more doable. Annika Bizon from Samsung UK & Ireland, which produces the durable Galaxy XCover7 Pro and Tab Active5 Pro Enterprise Edition, stated: "Tough roles demand robust support." She emphasised the importance of reliable technology in challenging work environments, saying, "Whether it's maintaining connectivity in the field or ensuring mission-critical tasks aren't interrupted, having the right tech in place is essential." "The Rugged range has been engineered specifically for these environments - combining military-grade durability with the business tools workforces require."
