What are some low stress jobs?

Question

Know any low stress jobs? I know all jobs have some stress, but since I was a kid I've always been prone to stress, I feel it could have been due to being low-birth weight premature baby. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a challenge and I'm alright with hard work, I simply don't like the idea of having a job where there is a very high expectation of me (i.e. where if I mess up it could cause big problems and make people extremely mad). I've actually feared that since childhood - like making the teacher mad, for example.

I also like jobs where I can work by myself often. I've seen several online lists, but I was hoping anyone had personal experiences or know any occupations.

Have you seen these books by Laurence Shatkin? One of the titles is 150 Best Low-Stress Jobs

My local library has most of the titles.

Even the lowest pressure job can be high pressure with a bad boss, sometimes it's as much the people you work with as the job itself.

Have you seen a doctor about your anxiety? It could very well be preemie related, many adult preemies do have issues with anxiety, it's quite common. Doctors can help you. Do you meditate or walk? Both can help with stress and anxiety. Good luck.
