Any job that pays well, is secure, and is low-stress is not going to be underrated.
There are jobs in most industries that fit the bill, though the amount in each field is going to vary wildly, but I’m not sure there’s a career path out there that fits all of the criteria you’ve listed across the board. Even in tech, where there are probably the most opportunities like you’ve described, I wouldn’t say most positions have all 3.
Literally every person on this planet is looking for the trifecta you’ve posted.
Not a lot of jobs that describe what you mentioned. Most jobs have 1-2 of the three and you have to choose what’s the most important to YOU.
Also “stress” is relative. I could care less if someone yells at me, it just rolls off my back so an environment that has people that yell but pays well and I enjoy, sign me up. Doing something that will either save or end someone’s life (think emergency surgery, fire, police) I’m fully out. For a lot of people yelling is a huge stressor, but they deal with other stressors.
Let me know when you find one
Good paying is always in the eye of the beholder, and job security is fairly relative.
Real estate and estate law is fairly stable, mostly a 9-5 weekday job, and you are paid fairly. It isn’t doctor money, but it isn’t doctor stress.
AI is certainly going to put pressure on many industries though, and law is one where the copy / pasting / filing of forms that today is a few hours of work for a few thousand dollars is unlikely to continue in its current form.
Be a tenured professor at a good school and you can make solid money without wild stress.
Many government jobs offer good benefits. Not “high” wages, but often solid middle class and high job security.

You mention computer science — there will be plenty of openings for it in good or bad markets. But needs shift regularly. Skills need to be refreshed regularly. And while some are more stable than others, those who want to be in the 1% working at the top companies must always be prepared for some turbulence.
Government jobs have security and low stress but not the pay thing.
Insurance claims. Maybe accounting if you’re with a smaller company or firm.
-good paying, low stress, job security
I feel like you have to pick two. I work retail, it has the second two things & it pays the bills. If there was something with all three & doesn’t require a degree it would get over saturated very quickly
Define good paying?
Librarians can make $80-$100k and it’s the definition of low stress. But you need a graduate degree.
Government contracting, specifically defense and IT.
Sanitation worker
Costco Manager I’ve heard
I’ve been relatively stress free as a Graphic Designer for the last 20 years roughly. I mean, there is stress but some stress is healthy, and I’ve always made good money. Plus I fuck around in Photoshop for a living, I mean, the odds of life being better than this is pretty astronomical.
I work in a steel mill. It’s low stress, usually 36 hours (3 days) a week and pays low 6 figures. Is it mundane work? Yes! Am I ok with that? Also yes.
Garbage men, any properly unionised but ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL job will deliver decent pay and benefits, sometimes even pensions etc, but you gotta be willing to do hard work or stinky work etc but if you have a good team it should be fairly low stress. Plumbers too. Everyone will always need a plumber. And they get paid well too. So ya stinky or at least anything considered “dirty” type work that is essential to daily life will usually provide a decent life. You wont be buying vacation homes or a maserati but you’ll be able to live a good life. #bringbackunions
Fund accounting, the dream ticket 😁
High skill trade jobs. Certified plumbers and electricians make good money and I’ve never seen one in a hurry. (Note that many/most people who work in these fields have lower levels of training and make far less money)
Costco or government! Whenever I’m done with aerospace I know where I’m going!
Engineering Inspector – decent money (92K)- ZERO Stress. I am SO grateful for my job.
aaaaaaahahhahah Haahahahahahah HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
HAHAHAHAHAHGGGGHHHLLLUUUGGHGUHA choked on my own spit.
Software tester. You find defects and someone else fixes them.
Audiologist, polysomnographic technologist, water and wastewater treatment plant operators.
Stress is a personal thing. Not only is it relative to what you consider stressful, it’s highly within your control if boundaries are set and maintained.
Landlord
Good paying is relative. What’s good for you is low paying for someone else.
As for stress. Even postmen have stress. Nurses have stress. Taxi drivers have stress.
Maybe administrative government jobs? Where you’re behind the scenes doing data entry? It depends what’s low stress for you. Or admin jobs at universities. Strike at the right time and you can get a good paying one
doesn’t exist sir
Bart operator
Every job has some degree of stress, but really the stress for this well paying position is extremely limited, in comparison to other well paying stressful jobs.
Of course – to get hired for such a job with Bart you gotta’ know someone.
Being a senator🤦♂️😃
Sometimes stress is self generated.
Dental hygienist
Housekeeping.
If you don’t mind cleaning and are very detail-oriented and organized and if you can find a hospital or a nursing home that pays more than at least 15, yeah.
How about looking into the field of technical writing? It’s not as flashy as coding, but it pays decently and can be pretty chill. Plus, there’s always a demand for good technical writers since companies need manuals, guides, and documentation for their products. Another one to consider is being a data analyst. You get to play around with numbers, and if you’re good at it, you can rake in a solid paycheck without pulling your hair out from stress.
So, don’t just follow the crowd into CS if it’s not your thing. There are plenty of other paths to success out there!
Radiology, X-Ray, or Ultrasound technician is what you’re looking for. They key word there is TECHNICIAN. You’re going to be the one working the machines, you only need a 2-year degree that most colleges offer, and you can get certifications that make you VERY attractive in the matter of months for only a few thousand.
I will say, the one problem in those technician fields is that you are required to stay up to date on the latest machines and know how/why they work and be able to explain it in very simple terms to a normal person. And also depending on where you work, you might be required to be on call 24/7, but then you get juicy overtime. Also depending on where you work, you are required to live within “30 minutes” of your place of work because of the aforementioned requirement.
Now that I think about it, this might not be a great suggestion. Sorry!
I work for the Australian government – high pay for an assistant PM ($70.16/hr for 38 hour weeks and working from home).
Stress is always depends on your mindset. I find being a design engineer was way more stressful than being a PM. Others find being a PM stressful because soft skills arent their strength.
I work for the water industry so I would say it is ‘good’. The role is crucial to a community and i’m working on projects that people need.
Trust fund baby.
You get paid a lot because of the high stress or danger or responsibility factor.
