Dusseldorf To say it straight away: There is no such thing as a job without stress. And yet many employees ask themselves: Couldn’t I also do something where the pressure is less? Where the gray hair doesn’t sprout quite as quickly as it does at the moment?

The good news is these jobs exist, and they’re anything but boring. On the contrary: many jobs in which the stress level is not quite as high even offer top career and future prospects.

The online job exchange Indeed has therefore identified 14 specialist jobs that are considered to be less stressful and still promise above-average pay. Indeed compiled the list exclusively for the Handelsblatt.

In order to determine the stress level, the evaluation is based on so-called O*NET stress tolerance rating of the US Department of Labor. The ranking ranks jobs based on the degree to which they “accept criticism and deal with stressful situations calmly and effectively.”
