Would you rather have a low paying, low stress job that was a ten minute drive away, or a high paying, high stress job that was an hour away?

I work the former, I think I'd like to give the latter a shot.

high paying and high stress job......i could make myself stress free with all that money,and even if i choose a low paying and a low stress job,thats just gonna make me stressful again because i aint got no money!!!......
-
I'd say high stress high pay. i would hate to end up with a low paying job.
-
Yeah, I would go for the high stress, high pay. I am already used to the stress. I would gladly be paid more for it, even driving further.

I'll take the low pay, low stress. 1) All that money is going to be gone when you pay for those hospital stays due to heart attacks. 2) I don't require a lot of money to be happy, though it of course makes for nice things like trips and such. 3) I can probably make some real money in those 2 hrs per day I save driving (not to mention the travel expenses). 4) My significant other makes a decent wage. I'm pretty sure she'd rather have less money and me alive than lots of money and an irritable, unhealthy, and possibly soon-dead spouse.

My life is pretty low maintenance. I would choose the low stress/low pay/low commute. However, I have the low pay and short commute but the stress is high and I con't find a way out of it except being unemployed!

At this time in my life, low stress, low paying nearby
-
That's the PRICE we paid for high pay, high stress, and long travel distance.
-
I don't think I would want to drive an hour away on slick roads so I will take the closer but less paying and less stressful job.
-
Neither!!!!!!!!! I want a high paying job with less hours say(10hrs per wk) NOOOOOOOO stress, (my aide) will handle the stress. And I just phone in my work! AWWWWWWWWWWWWW what a LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

Well, after doing the higher paying, high stress, hour commute job for 5 years, I'll take the lower paying, lower stress, short commute job. Currently, that's what I'm looking for.

Right now I have a high paying, high stress job that's ten minutes away. I live a lifestyle that doesn't require all that money, and I've never been a materialistic person. I was raised to be thrifty. What I need is TIME to enjoy my life, as my high stress job forces me to work 50-60 hours a week. I would love it if my job let me work part time, that way (although I wouldn't be getting as much money) I could enjoy more time with my sweetie and my family. Plus I just got sent to the hospital with a stress-induced migraine that looked like a stroke, which cost me $1000 AFTER insurance, so...no I definitely don't need all this stress.
