Are high paying job worth the stress?

Despite the fact that one in three people in the United States report feeling continual concern about their financial situation, recent research reveals that increasing one's income may potentially cause more problems than it solves. According to the online career site LinkedIn, those who report generating a greater salary tend to suffer higher levels of stress at work and do not necessarily reflect better levels of overall job satisfaction.

Researchers discovered that those who earn between $51,000 and $75,000 had, on average, the least amount of stress in their lives. These findings are based on a poll that included 1,000 LinkedIn users who are actively working in the United States. On the other hand, close to seventy percent of those with incomes of two hundred thousand dollars or more reported they experience stress.

In addition, the researchers from LinkedIn discovered that greater wages were not correlated with better levels of work satisfaction: People who earn between $75,000 and $100,000 annually are about as likely to express contentment with their work as those who make more than $250,000 annually. Those who earn more than $250,000 annually are more likely to express discontentment with their professions.

Those with annual incomes ranging from $51,000 to $75,000 had the greatest levels of job satisfaction, according to respondents' reports. Those who make less than $50,000 annually report the lowest levels of happiness.

When it comes to age groups, there is a discernible difference in how men and women, on average, feel about the amount of stress they are under at work as well as how satisfied they are with their professions.

Millennials are the generation that reports the least amount of stress caused by their employment; nevertheless, they are also the generation that is the least content with their jobs. In the meanwhile, seventy-eight percent of baby boomers, or adults aged 53 and over, are content with their careers.

Even those who have made millions of dollars would admit that having more money does not always result in a better life, and it most definitely does not lead to a life devoid of worry.

A new research conducted by Harvard Business School on 4,000 wealthy individuals revealed that the price of happiness might really be rather high: it varies between $8 million and $10 million. Only at these levels, "are wealthier millionaires happier than millionaires with lower levels of wealth," the study reports, and even then, a larger fortune is only associated with "modestly greater well-being."

Recently, an entrepreneur who makes $1 million a year told The Cut that "money and power make people hungry and insane, and I am not immune from this." She acknowledges that she constantly wants more, adding that when you earn that much money, "you get in this rut where you're still exhausted, anxious, and sad." This is true despite the fact that she lives a life of extraordinary affluence.

Regardless of how much money you make, it's important to educate yourself on the ways in which purchasing your way out of unpleasant responsibilities may help you enjoy a substantially better life.
