Who knew I was in the company of such nerds? Yes, my job is low stress. It's because the job is pretty damn easy, and full of lots of bullshitting with patients and staff. And we call ourselves "Doctors." All good stuff. Really.

So Web Developer, Technical Writer and Test Software Development Engineer are all part of my job. And they are all ranked higher than Optometrist. That means I'm 3 times more relaxed than you. Haha.

Where's nursing? At the bottom....not a low stress job. We should make way more money than we do. :(

BTW Carrie: On the list for "most satisfying:"
10 Nurse Practitioner 65 86.2
(Maybe you should upgrade!)


I'm still not convinced J that you actually have a job. Now you're trying to explain away why you're so relaxed...
