I'd fall into this category. I don't make nearly that kind of money, though. And it's most definitely not low stress.

Right? It should be top 5 based on pay and growth potential.

My wife is 8 years post grad and higher than #1's median pay.

doesn't even have to be a major city

the yoga studio my wife goes to in Shreveport has 2 studios, employs like 10 yoga instructors, an acupuncture guy, a dietitian, and a masseuse

I'm assuming the owner, who is also a yoga instructor, makes bank


Not to mention that these yoga and Pilates teachers probably have zero job related stress, don't need to go 100k in debt for schooling, and probably love what they do.

It's really odd how they completely leave some careers off of these lists. This was one of the more detailed lists, typically these lists include the BLS title which are pretty broad.

Speech pathologists, Audiologists, and Occupational Therapists were all left off of this list, but can be found on most other "best career" lists.

How is it being in software sales? You do a lot of conferences or something?


I "man the booth" at a couple of conferences / year. It got me to Australia and Sweden..so that was a bonus.

Houston/Hepatology

ETA: She's also fellowship trained, which adds a good bit to her earning potential.
