[quote=Anonymous]“Pleasant” and “restful” jobs that pay well exist but don’t last. People eliminate them by taking them for lower wages or merging positions or creating a layoff situation. If you see someone with one, don’t go for it. By the time you’re qualified there’s a good chance it’ll disappear. (Teachers beware: you may be envious of that mom who seems to have an easy, plush work from home gig, but you’re only seeing one year of her life, and she may be hiding some stress. The career is not as a whole easy and plush).

So you can’t find something permanently restful. The best you can do permanently is find something meaningful or fun.

Also you can stack a career with periods of hard work and rest. For example, you can do a residency and then take a part-time job as a doctor, or you can do a few years of banking, then take a lower stress job in a family office until that’s over and then go into something higher stress again. You can take a big risk financially and if it pays off, you can have a restful period afterwards. You can save a lot in a high-stress career, which can afford you periods when you can take more risks with less stress.[/quote]
