[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on what stress you mean. For me, I can take on a lot of projects and juggle a lot of work. I like that. Others would find that stressful. I also like managing people but others find it very stressful.

I'd say any job where you deal with the public or a lot of clients which will involve emotions will be stressful. I think having to pretty much always please or help others is the hardest thing to do and causes burnout. Sales, especially, but the right person can love it.

People who work with numbers and support their organization internally always seemed to like their jobs. But being a CPA at tax time would be about as stressful as you could get.

During my career, I learned new things and changed my mind about what I liked doing. So you evolve. But there were certain things I knew I'd never want to do, like run my own business or be in sales, that never changed. I would suggest doing something they have a talent for and see what happens. Another thing is that sometimes a job is different than what you thought it would be--both better or worse.[/quote]
This. It also makes a difference if your kids are introverts or extroverts, are they natural leaders etc. It all matters. I, for example, am a registered nurse. I am very detail oriented, good at science/math- so nursing school is easy for me. However, I am an introvert and don't like to talk to strangers much. Yet, everyday at work, I have to meet new patients and establish a fast rapport with them which for me is very emotionally draining and at the end of the day makes me exhausted. But there are people at my work who love talking to other people all day long and don't seem to be tired. [/quote]
