> Being a CEO is one of the highest impact careers in terms of lowering life expectancy. Most high paid careers are extremely stressful and come with more serious health impact than the average worker. Perhaps, though that effect must be offset by other things (and/or access to healthcare), since the life expectancy based on income graph is monotonically increasing for both genders. http://www.equality-of-opportunity.org/health/ http://www.equality-of-opportunity.org/health/ My hunch is that the well off might have stress on the job (though again, this is a subset of well-paid positions, and I think the subset is actually smaller than you think), but everyone else has a lot more stress outside of the job which is much more important. The stress associated with poverty cannot be understated - it lowers IQ by ~15 points.
