You could list a dozen reasons why your job stresses you out. But believe it or not, there are some jobs out there that are considered not-so-stressful.  Here are the top five least stressful jobs according to careercast.com.

1.  University professor -- The average salary is around $62,000/year.  There are multiple benefits to this job, growth opportunities, good pay and low-risk.

2.  Seamstress/tailor -- The average salary is around $25,000/year.  The reason why this is considered a stress-free job is because of time flexibility.  A customer brings in an item to be tailored, and the seamstress gives a timeline of when it will be done.

3.  Medical records technician -- The average salary is around $32,000/year.  Their job deals with accuracy so they're allowed to work at their own pace to avoid mistakes.  It's also a 9 to 5 job.

4.  Jeweler -- The average salary is around $35,000/year.  Careercast.com says most jewelers are self-employed and have a lot of flexibility and leeway in their jobs.

5.  Medical lab technician -- The average salary is around $46,000/year.  Like medical records technicians, a lab technician's job requires accurate analysis.  Because of that, they can work more at their own pace to avoid mistakes.
