5. Emergency medicine
Emergency doctors, who earn $322,000 annually, occupy fifth place in the ranking of 11 least stressful medical specialties and careers that pay well, which might seem odd. When someone mentions emergency medicine the first thought that comes to the most people’s minds is stress, a lot of stress. However, these doctors obviously do not feel the same – although more than a half of them report experiencing burn out (55%) the average rate they gave to that feeling of tiredness was 4.1, which is fifth lowest among surveyed specialties.
