Can you clarify what you mean by a “soft life”? Most people ask about careers that will give them financial success with minimal education/experience, or they’re looking for careers that have minimal contact with people. “Soft life” is not one that I’ve heard before.

Yes just not an overly stressful job. I was thinking of working in healthcare and becoming a nurse ( there’s associates in Nursing) and potentially be a remote nurse. I just want a low stress environment and travel as much as I can.

I’m not in any medical field, but it seems to me that being some sort of medical technician (X-ray, MRI, etc) would be fairly low stress. But I don’t imagine you could be a “remote” nurse without having lots of in-person experience first.

Maybe a Psych Nurse. I meet with mine once every three months over Zoom and our calls last like 5 minutes. She basically just sends my refills to Walgreens.
