0:00.0 | To those of you who earn a good salary in a low-stressed job, what do you do? |
0:05.2 | I'm a medical radiation technologist. I think my job is one of the least stressful. |
0:10.2 | We don't work long hours like nurses and doctors, and our only main priority is to take |
0:14.9 | diagnostic images of patients. But once we're done, they're taken away by porters, so we spend |
0:20.1 | little time on patients. |
0:21.6 | At the end of the day, when we finish our hours, we just head home and relax. |
0:25.6 | I find it a relaxing job. |
0:27.4 | Gets easier, the better your skill set, and there's usually people to help you. |
0:31.0 | This is strictly for x-rays only, not CT or MRI, of which is more stressful since you're on a schedule. |
0:36.8 | I kind of like my job. I'm an |
0:39.3 | operator at a nuke plant. I make up to 180K depending on how much overtime I work. If I don't work |

0:54.9 | where if you can pass the monthly exams demonstrating your knowledge of nuclear plant operations, |
0:59.7 | you shouldn't be concerned. But if you're not as book smart as the rest of the crew, |
1:03.3 | you can have some problems passing the initial training you receive and the continuing. |
1:07.7 | So moral of the story, if you can pass the training, it's very low stress. I'm a truck |
1:13.5 | driver. Home every day. Just listen to music and watch the sunrise. Make about 80K. Could make much more |
1:19.7 | if I put in the hours. The worst is having people complain about you existing. Just got to have a |
1:24.5 | screwing mentality. I wouldn't recommend truck driving to others, though. It's very |
1:28.5 | hard to get a good paying job. I got very lucky and had a home daily company hire me the moment I got |
1:34.0 | my commercial driver's license. Long-haul drivers actually make less than home daily drivers, |
