7. Astronomer
Median Pay: $104,740
We are continuing our list of low stress jobs with high pay with astronomers that are studying certain types of events and celestial bodies, for instance, black holes. They may also study the nature of time or even the origin of the universe. Astronomers are spending their working hours in offices but, often they are conducting their research in observatories and laboratories. Typically, they need a Ph.D. if they want to work in research and academia. This job isn’t just one of the least stressful and highly paid, but it is also one of the most interesting.
