Would you rather be in a boring job where you could just browse the internet quite a lot/listen to music.

Or a stressfull job with high pressure.

Just curious, some people seem to like being stressed i dont think its worth it.

Quite suprised at the answers, expected more people to pick a easier job tbh.

I think a kind of 5 years on 2 years off in terms of stress levels would be ideal for me. My current job (15 years and counting) is very much the latter and I can't help but think i'm just wasting away doing it, even though it pays the bills and alot of family and friends are very envious of my situation.
5 years of stress, 2 of boredom?

I have no stress at all; no one breathing down my neck, decent wage and benefits, radio on, few cheeky naps now and then, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

If I want a challenge I'll do something challenging out of choice like restore a motorcycle, rather than be roped into being stressed and challenged for whatever % of my life a stressful working week entails.
Can i ask what you work as?
