Your job should get less stressful as you get older
As people climb the career ladder, they often get jobs that are more stressful and come with more responsibilities - as a reward for their years of experience, and accumulated qualifications etc. Of course the jobs come with higher pay too, which is a a plus. But there's a lot of pressure to climb the career ladder and reach the 'pinnacle of success'. A lot of times I see these people being very stressed.
I think it should be the opposite. As you get older, you probably have growing children, aging parents, relationship and health issues etc, you should have a job with less stress and responsibility. Life is already difficult in mature adulthood - to add a demanding job to that is adding a lot.
I think the time for more stressful jobs is in your 20's - when you're probably single and relatively free to carry more 'load'.
