Taking a low stress job to enjoy life

I’m not rich in-fact closer to homeless than rich. But chasing a higher paying career is making me depressed. Being underpaid with more stress and problems. Is this why people are happy to take on lower paying jobs Or what is classed as “lower class jobs”. I hate the why haven’t you done this yet. Without the care of that I’m overloaded.

Do you understand where I’m coming from. I hate the feeling of yesterdays work coming into todays. But there’s no other option with the heavy workloads.
