The common saying about the workplace is – ‘Do what you love’ or ‘Love your job’. However, in reality, this idea is often difficult to follow due to work pressure. Work pressure is normal in the workplace. There are some jobs that cause excessive mental stress. However, not all jobs are like this. There are many high-paying and low-stress job opportunities in 2025 that can bring back your interest in work.
A recent report by ‘Resume Genius’, a CV writing platform for professionals, has mentioned some high-paying and low-stress jobs. These jobs will be in high demand in the coming years. The qualitative difference between these jobs is that they ensure a good work-life balance for employees. The work pressure in these jobs is relatively low, but their salary is quite good.
The ‘Low-Stress, High-Paying Jobs’ report mentions 15 such jobs in 2025.
For example, a water resources specialist can earn $157,740 a year, while astronauts earn about $149,530. Actuaries can also earn $120,000 and environmental economists can earn $115,730.
In addition, jobs like mathematicians can earn $144,860, computer systems analysts can earn $138,000 and fuel cell engineers can earn $99,510.
However, jobs like remote sensing scientists, geographers and transportation planners can also be less stressful, while still paying well. The average annual income for these occupations is $92,580, $90,880 and $81,800, respectively.
Some jobs, such as railcar repairer, taper, pump operator, tire builder, and craft artist, may be low-paying, but they are relatively low-stress and offer plenty of opportunities.
According to a report by Resume Genius, low-stress jobs are jobs that typically offer low physical exertion, scheduled work hours, and a supportive environment. These types of jobs offer good income opportunities without excessive work pressure or overwork.
So if you are looking for a low-stress job, look for jobs that are less physically demanding or that offer remote work opportunities. Remote work can help make your work environment more comfortable and also relieve you of the hassle of wasting extra time commuting.
