Based on the information provided, we have compared various occupations based on their stress tolerance scores, average annual salaries, and job characteristics. The data indicates that occupations such as environmental engineers, geographers, and materials scientists are considered to be less stressful with relatively high-paying salaries. The stress tolerance scores are measured on a scale of 0 to 100, with lower scores indicating less stressful job environments.
Using the O*NET database and the Bureau of Labor Statistics data, we identified several high-paying occupations in academia, including postsecondary teachers and researchers in fields such as economics, statistics, mathematics, and materials science. For example, postsecondary economics teachers have a stress tolerance score of 63 and an average annual wage of $122,750.
When considering occupations with an average annual wage of at least $75,000, models ranked as the least stressful job with a stress tolerance score of 51 and an average annual wage of $77,310. However, it's important to note that if median data for pay is used instead of averages, models would not make the list due to their lower median annual wage.
In cases of tied stress tolerance scores, occupations were ranked based on their average annual wages. For instance, occupations such as geoscientists and postsecondary mathematical science teachers, which both have a stress tolerance score of 68, were compared based on their average annual wages.
Overall, the data suggests that certain occupations in academia, including postsecondary teachers and researchers in specific fields, can offer high salaries while also being considered less stressful based on their stress tolerance scores.
