The insider Article about high paying, low stress jobs was one of the stupidest articles I’ve ever read. Many of the jobs require a PhD, meaning they’re not well paid for the amount of education. And almost all of them are fields that it’s nearly impossible to get them into. There is literally no point for the list.
I lol’d at the sports/talent agent one. I have actually worked in sports and managed talent and (1) it is NOT low stress and (2) you definitely DO NOT make a lot of money for the first 5 – 10 years (if not longer). I have no idea where they got that list from but it is ridiculous!
I learned to take these kinds of lists with a grain of salt when I saw one that said “historian” was a good career choice. PLEASE. I laughed so hard. (I was a history major who had to go back to school for something different to be able to find a job).
I was coming here to say exactly this. Really, really stupid and pintless article (with little foundation in reality).
Lol #16 is “epidemiologist”… Pretty sure 2020 proved that one is NOT low stress!
Ha, yes.
Yeah, I’m a technical writer and it’s pretty low stress but I make significantly less than $78k. And even $78k doesn’t go very far in a big city if you don’t have a spouse or roommate.
