WOAH! U.K. Has 20 Low-Stress Jobs That Pay More Than 40 Lakhs Per Year

While the dream job inevitably involves rubbing baby oil into Leonardo DiCaprio's naked body, the opportunity to do this hasn't been particularly forthcoming - which is where these low stress jobs that pay more than £50,000 a year come in.

Because they sounds like pretty much the dream scenario, right? According to this list put together by Business Insider, they really do exist, too - after the publication utilised the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), a database put together by the US Department of Labor, to discover 20 jobs that aren't particularly anxiety-inducing, but pay very well.

The O*NET database rates the "stress tolerance" for various professions (100 being a job with a maximum stress level), with the following 20 jobs having a 70 or lower rating while paying an average salary of £55,000 or higher.

Count us in.

Side note: this was based on American statistics, but is presumably comparable in the UK.
