Does anyone have a job that is not at all stressful?

I need a career change away from the stress that's got me on medication. I can take a fairly hefty hit because ultimately it will mean I'm working less anyway.
Ideally working from home.

Not me. I'm an early years teacher. But I love it! Today I got paid to play (as well as looking after 30 children on their first day at school, mop up tears, some from parents, planning learning for them, assessing them and making it a happy day for them). Not at all stress free but fabulous.

Stress is the unfortunate buzzword of our era.

Not working from home mostly but I’m a cleaner and it’s pretty stress free. Not a high earner though.

I am a gardener. I love it. So stress free.

90% of stress in modern work is politics and email culture; of which I avoid entirely in my day job Grin

My friend who used to work in a spa found it boring calm. She changed to a homeless shelter so it wasn't for her but beautician stuff can be done mobile or at home.

@WilliamKnott, I'm not quite sure what your point is?
Cleaning must be satisfying but I'm not fit enough for it as I have an invisible disability that means that I wouldn't be able to take the physical strain.

Yes it’s taking it’s toll on my body. I’m looking for something else for that reason.

I’m an actuary, its not exciting, but it is very low stress, it can get a little stressful at the end of the financial year, but its managable.

Testing.
Not your problem if it’s broken, not your problem to fix it.
Just get to be unbelievably picky.

I work in social media. A little stress, but nothing a little organisation wouldn’t help!

I love my job, but it’s not a huge earner yet.
