I would imagine lower stress industries, but then again maybe stress would be distracting and make you thrive?
I've considered getting into something like nursing but it seems like it would be more stressful/depressing but then again helping others could be rewarding.
Any ideas?  |
I think nursing is a terrific idea. Working with sick or less fortunate people gives you a unique perspective on life and makes you a more grateful person. When you focus on helping others, your own problems seem much more manageable in comparison.
