<p>name any unstressful jobs/careers that pay decently.</p>
<p>By unstressful, I mean less time at the office or on the road, and more time chilling with mates or at home with the family.</p>
<p>gold digger</p>
<p>trophy husband</p>
<p>prostitution</p>
<p>Anyone older than 15 want to pitch in?</p>
<p>Con artist.</p>
<p>most 9-5 jobs.</p>
<p>Garbage man. Seriously. They make over $60,000 a year in many areas.
And school bus driver. Usually they make around the same amount as teachers.</p>
<p>But usually you have to work longer to earn pay. And most jobs that aren’t very demanding time wise are payed less/less qualified people have those jobs. You gotta earn your pay in this world.</p>
<p>lol…dude just move to France.</p>
<p>Yeah… Or Soviet Russia.</p>
<p>When my dad was a software developer who DIDN’T own his own company, he seemed pretty chill and had a lot of time with us. He was home for dinner every day, never worked weekends, and only traveled a few times a year-- never for very long, usually just a few days. Can’t personally attest to the stress levels of his job, and it may have just been his company, but it was nice.</p>
<p>Now that he owns his own company though, forget about it. He works from home and we never see him, he works from 7am to 2am every single day and doesn’t take vacations anymore.</p>
<p>I’ve heard about the garbage man job. In fact, there are a lot of “dirty jobs” that were on the discovery channel show hosted by mike rowe. In a talk made by mike, he emphasized on how some people saw where most people were going and competing with each other, and they went the other way. Garbage is actually a multimillion dollar business in many places</p>
<p>Let’s not forget, though, what being a garbage man entails. You’re collecting garbage all day, most of the time in the cold depending on where you live, and it’s a job with a pretty high fatality rate due to car accidents. Of course, you don’t travel much as a garbage man and it’s not too stressful, but most menial jobs aren’t STRESSFUL, they just suck.</p>
<p>Other than the car accident issue that doesn’t sound so bad to me. But then, I used to muck out horse barns in the dead of winter for free.</p>
<p>Writer.</p>
<p>Though a job is less stressful if you love it, so do something like that.</p>
<p>Math teacher.</p>
<p>Work 180 days; summers off along with almost every holiday imaginable with very respectable pay. Stable and pretty low stress for math teachers. The teachers that really have the stress are English teachers because they have to talk a lot and physically grading hundreds of papers can be grueling. Math teachers teach a bit and give practice problems. Their tests are mostly graded through machine (MC) and the short answer is short. </p>
<p>Not to mention the high demand for math teachers and, at least in my state, teachers are only supposed to teach 5 periods (225 minutes). You can also teach in the summer/coach sports for extra money and many teachers do real estate over the summer.</p>
<p>yea, I guess you have to consider the environment you’re in.</p>
<p>For example, you probably won’t meet a lot of sophisticated coworkers doing stuff with garbage.</p>
<p>Also, if you hated high school like I did, I doubt you’d ever want to spend your adult life inside a high school.</p>
<p>I wonder how much you get paid as a ball boy in the US Open or a waterboy in the NFL. Front row seats and you get paid for it. It won’t be a full time job, but the schedule you get is incredible. But I have no idea how one would go about getting such an awesome job.</p>
<p>I would also say marine biologist, but I hear the pay is terrible.</p>
<p>I think McDonalds is an easy job, although I wouldn’t say it isnt stressful for them. I’ll never forget the look on their faces when about 50 of us walked in at the same time. I’m pretty sure they never worked that hard in their lives</p>
<p>I’d second writing. Being a potter would also be very low-stress, so long as you had enough money to live off of and weren’t starving.</p>
<p>I don’t know if writing wouldn’t be stressful, I guess maybe the severity of it depends on what you’re writing, but there are some pretty intense deadlines. And I am not one who can be creative on command, so that’d be mega stressful for me.</p>
