4 to Watch: The Top High-Paying Jobs with Low Stress

1. High pay, low pressure?

Is it possible to be paid well without working crazy hours under a lot of stress? Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine’s Jeff Gardere and FNC’s Monica Crowley says yes. Orthodontists make over $186,000 a year, says Gardere, and there’s not a ton of stress involved. Economists and mathematicians make more than $90,000 a year; Crowley says these jobs may be less stressful because they’re primarily solitary positions.

2. Helping America’s heroes
