I have goals and ambitions. I just don't want to be stressed out like most people and I want to enjoy myself outside work. Most people just work and go home. They are too stress out to do anything else. I want to work to live. I don't care of a high paying job. I am not materialistic anyways, I can live a simple life.
Dude, you're so naïve....looks like your gonna have to learn the hard way.
In the meantime, buy some lottery tickets and hope for the best.
How about being an adventure tour guide somewhere or starting your own business doing it.
Janitorial, Delivery, Paper-Route (does a number on your car though).
Photography - of course takes time to get known
You are young though. I didn't like school either, but I do regret not finishing. I do okay now, but it took many, many years. Having a degree just opens doors that not having one can't.
It is tough at your age to see the future and life can take twists and turns that don't really allow you to go back and finish even if you want to. So just be aware that all decisions have long-term consequences good and bad. Try to really think this through and make sure it really is the lifestyle you want.
I think you can probably equate work stress to the ups and downs of the stock market. Generally, the higher the risk, the higher the reward. But you can also just add a little risk and still get decent returns. You can probably find something that is just a little stressful and get paid quite well. Or it may be stressful for a few years until the position is established (think sales) and then it isn't as stressful.
What is a good low stress job that is full time and doesn't require a degree?
The only thing I can think of is being a HOT "housewife" married a top Wallstreet Trader. All you have to do is sit around and look HOT all day, as well as run a vacuum across the floor every now and then. Pretty low stress, it's full time and no degree is required.
Lol, you can't have everything you want. You can't make a good amount of money today WITHOUT a job that doesn't provide some sort of stress and doesn't require some sort of higher education. I mean come on.....
I wish you the best. Picking a low-cost area to live relieves a lot of financial stress. Many young people are moving to second-tier cities that have low-cost housing and are walkable. People with on-line skills have found ways to make a living in remote locations allowing a great degree of flexibility to fit in with their lifestyle.
A town that I pass through in New Hampshire has several career McDonald's workers who are able to work their job and afford a comfortable lifestyle. This certainly would not be the case in places like Fairfield, Connecticut so picking a location is key. I'm not sure that Denver would be the place where low-stress, lower-wages jobs can support living costs.
Go work for a painter. I can't imagine a job less stressful than watching paint dry.
My grandfather was a painter and supported a family with 7 children through the depression. He was one of the most laid-back and wisest people I've known. He and my grandmother lived to be 96 and 95 and were great role models offering great advice to their grand children, great-grand children, and great-great grand children.
