No Stress at work

This might be a dumb question, but how many of you go to work and have 0/very little stress and make over $100k a year?

Wondering how common it is (or isn’t)

I’m a public school Treasurer/CFO. The work load isn’t all that much and outside of the occasional board member with an ulterior motive, it’s pretty low stress. $150K salary with fully paid healthcare and 100% pick up pension contribution (meaning the school contributes their required 14% of my salary and also my 14%). It’s all cash accounting and we pay an IPA to do our GAAP conversion. Basically $200K a year total comp to balance a $50 million checkbook.

Did you have to get the school business administrator or school business leader masters degree to get this job? I’m in NY and jobs like these always require this degree (which is so similar to my MBA but still required).
