What is a low stress, well paid job?

Have you considered becoming a professional footballer or film star?

Some of the pharmaceutical technican roles in the pharmaceutical plants around the Dublin region are well paid.

With shift work and a little overtime wages north of €70,000 are easily achieved.

When the day is done the day is done in those jobs. Very little stress.

OP did state they wouldn't mind shift.

I won't do it myself, but it is a leave it at the door type, well paid position

The low stress bit depends as much on the person as the job.

By and large, well paid jobs require skill and/or ability to manage.

Both are likely to bring stress in terms of responsibility, deadlines etc

Then there's the general office politics, personality clashes etc

Any job has the potential to be stressful depending on the people involved

because they don't know what stress is!

Either I'm having a very vivid deja vu or I have seen this exact steaming pile of horseapples posted elsewhere on boards in the last few months. That's odd...

Often supervising before 8:30, almost never finished by 4. Often scheduled to teach the entire day, plus extra pointless 'admin.' Opening evenings, parent teacher meetings, various committee meetings, extra curricular activities and endless endless homework fill your days nicely.

Vast majority won't reach €75,000.

Pension and holidays are a huge plus, but not many teachers are able to work right up to full pension due to burnout.

The unvouched sick days thing is fiction. I think you can take 7 uncertified sick days over a rolling two year period but you are usually required to send in work and correct it, so you're essentially working from home. It's easier to go in and teach. You can take a maximum of three days in a row, and if you take a Friday and the following Monday it's counted as four days. Certified sick leave is more generous and more complicated and you will have Medmark on the phone asking to see your bleeding wounds and quizzing you on whether you really need all that medication.

And yet you advised the OP to 'walk into' teaching, suggesting they'd be pulling down 75k!

Actuary a low stress job ?

There are huge burnout levels in the profession and the remuneration is a fraction of what it used to be.

Constantly doing mental work is extremely tiring and demanding.

its a tough one to be honest, i think everyone is looking for that job, but only a few truly succeed, i certainly would entertain all options at the moment, and see whats required for moving, but my gut says, you d probably have to take a pay cut, but i could be wrong. best of luck, your health is absolutely your wealth

I'll let you explain it to everybody. You're the knowledgeable one after all.

Well my wife gets up at between 4am and 5am each day to prepare for her classes. Sometimes evening work too. Absolutely not a job you can just leave at the door.

How is the unvouched thing fiction?

You say it's a fiction and then go on to explain how it works. Ergo, it is not a fiction.

Pro-rated, your 7 days unvouched scales up to 10 days for someone working full years (assuming working for 48 weeks). So the same as a private sector worker getting 5 unvouched days a year.

Regarding your weekend complaint for holidays, the flip side of that is that if you miss a day unpaid, say a Wednesday, then you are docked one-seventh (not one fifth) of your wages. If you are sick on a Friday and still sick on the Monday then you can get a doctors note and keep your unvouched holidays.

Now I'm not complaining about anything. Just pointing out you have no real case to moan about it.

bullsh1t, public sector workers are also under astonishing pressure here to, nobodies getting a free ride!

....and according to the same source, many have lavish lifestyles, and portray and life of fulfillment!

...and the kids have arrived! yes its holidays, but you still have homework to do!

Ah now. Don't forget about all those new mountains that keep popping up every year that you have to learn about to keep up to date.

A veritable mountain to climb so to speak!

Well a poster said that unvouched sick days were a fiction ............ but then proceeded to explain, not only that they existed, but how they worked.

When I pointed that out, you appeared to get your knickers in a twist. I never complained about it - just said they were not a fiction based on what the poster themselves said.

Perhaps if you have no info, then have a deep breath before jumping in and making a fool of yourself
