These jobs could shorten your life

Work can be a killer, but there are a handful of jobs, ones that aren't necessarily dangerous, that could actually be taking years off your life.

A new study took a look at more than 5,000 people and their careers.

They found that salespeople, administrative staff and restaurant workers are among the unhealthy workers, WIVB reported.

Many salespeople were found to have poor eating habits and high cholesterol.

Administrative staff didn't have time to be physically active.

Restaurant workers had poor diets.

First responders also made the list due to being overweight and some were obese. and many had high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

The most unhealthy are truckers. The study found that almost a quarter of truckers smoke and they die from lung disease or heart problems.

But the report wasn't all bad news. There are some healthy careers. Managers, doctors and lawyers fare well, WIVB reported.
