What about professional City Data posters (you know, the posters with 10,000+ rep points and have averaged 40 posts a day for three years)?

do you mean people like yourself? if so, you should be paid for posting and receiving rep points.

Actually I se many jobs on that list that are very heavy on the stress on your body from the work load. Then many have the stress of being constntly looking for work in that area.many will require you to wor all your life and many of tose jobs you better stay very healhy to do the job.I know because I worked summer with some of those manuakl labor jobs and saw what happened to them as they aged.Stress is many times relative to the person and his skill level at waht he does IMO.Wear on the body from heavy labor is pretty much equal without problem or accidents.I personallt hated boring job as they were the worse to work with people and tiring on their own.Working in a assembly line is very stresful but it sure is voring and hard on the personal attitude;IMO.

Why on earth would you want a low stress job? I want a job where I am effective and useful to my community, not one that lets me slip through without having to work hard/be a little stress. If you have a low stress job I personally think that means you aren't working as hard as you could...

A low stress job could just mean you are good at what you do and like it as well. Also, those jobs that allow a completion oof task also tend to be lower stress than those that are more open ended.

Hard work does not equal stress.

Stress often comes from hard work. The inverse is not true.

Low stress does not mean good time management as well.
