don’t forget about the guy who figured out how to automate the entire process of creating a video that gets its script from reddit narrated by an AI voice on a random gaming clip.

Watching this it feels like there are a few common direction :
1- people working for large very profitable sector (oil and gaz, pharma)
2- people working in smaller company with good management that actually care about people.
4- job that have specific hours requirements on emergency / time sensitive industry for which company is required to have extra capacity
5- specific technical niches.

I'm a unionized security guard for a major auto company. I make a decent living just driving a company car for eight hours a day. I'm 60 years old and it perfect for me. ❤️

Watching this, I just realized....I've never had a low stress job in my life....time to rethink my career strategy.

I work as an analyst for a pharmacy insurance company. Pretty much I ensure letters that are sent to members contain accurate information. So its a lot of speed reading and is repetitive but I find it relaxing. Huge perk is I work full time from home, listen to youtube while I work, don't deal with the public, have a small team, & we mainly communicate via IM. It is the ideal job for an introvert such as myself. 😊

Homer Simpson's job is low stress and pays six figures? Dammit.

[McTaco]

I own a small window and gutter cleaning company. It’s not unusual for me to show up to someone’s home, work for 4 hours and leave with $300-$500. I make my own schedule, listen to podcasts while working and live a great life that supports my family. Honestly if more people knew how great it was so many would do it.

[pandorabox]

I think a job being stressful depends a lot on
1. The company that's hiring you / work environment
2. Personality
I've quit jobs that were extremely stressing for me but my colleagues couldn't empathize with it since they were doing just fine, and vise versa. Or found that the same exact job is a lot more stressing in a company while it is ok in another.

I do pest control. Once your good at its low stress. I visit 15 homes a day and usually just preventive spraying. I work for 20-30 mins and then drive for 20-30 minutes and listen to music/podcast. My company hired me from a minimum wage job and now I’m making 85k+ a year. They changed my life!

[TheMikeybo]

Crane operator. Learning the job is stressful. Now that I've learned it is very easy, pretty much stress free. I don't work hard, the crane does the heavy lifting. 130k/year.

[a.x]

I went from being a pharmacy technician to a laboratory technician in a small lab. The reduction in my stress levels has improved so much of my life.

[FeelnLikeIDoEveryDay]

I work as a postman. Walk anywhere from 10k-30k steps a day. Gives me a good excuse to stay in shape, pays well enough and I work down the street from the house I grew up in. I’m not stressed at all

[MrNommerz]

My dad works for the federal government in Canada and he said he probably does 3 hours of honest work in a week. I went with him for Take Your Kid to Work Day, and we literally didn't do any work, we just went and met everyone in his office, went for a walk around town, and to get coffee a few times. You would not believe his salary.

[johnnyboy]

I make $80k a year salary along with $10k in bonuses for a total of $90k a year. I work as a Manager for a smaller cell phone company. Came in as tech support, then specialized tech support after 1 year, then supervisor 6 months after that, then Manager 6 months after that. Super low stress running a team, yes we have numbers to meet but everyone is an adult so they know and I never micro manage, just let everyone do their thing as long as the numbers look good.

No degree, no prior experience, just got on during a good time of company growth and showed up to work everyday.

[laurenb]

I’m an licensed vocational nurse. Most nursing jobs are stressful, but I do home health. I get paid 47$ an hour to sit in mansions in LA and give people their medicine.

[hollywoodnaturalist]

I'm an archaeologist who monitors construction sites. If you are on top of your paperwork and don't mind getting muddy from time to time it can be an incredibly low stress and fun job! You don't need a graduate degree to do it either. I've met people without degrees who have learned field skills from volunteering and field schools. I live comfortably in Downtown Los Angeles. Don't give up hope folks, you can achieve your dreams. Keep your head up and don't settle!!

[stormyweather]

The day I started ignoring my coworkers and only interacting with them for work reasons while just focusing on work the better my days become. People bring their stress from home with them and quite honestly I don’t care about their drama. I realized I’m paid to be around them and started acting accordingly. They are not your friends.

[princessmarlena]

I’m the night guard at a Mega Pizzaplex. It pays a little better due to the late hours, but the animatronic characters are pretty awesome to me, though they tend to get a bit quirky at night.

They used to despise me, except for the bear who was always cool to me, but after beating the chicken at the maze attraction, the gator at mini golf, the wolf at go-kart racing (the company rebuilt the track), and all four of them at laser tag, they left me alone after that and even became my friends along with the bear.
