Some people crack under pressure, while others thrive in stressful situations. If you happen to fall into the latter category, you may want to consider a career as a urologist or an agent. Business Insider combed through data from the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), a US Department of Labor database that compiles detailed information on hundreds of jobs, to find the positions with a high "stress tolerance" score. We then looked at salary data on the US Bureau of Labor Statistics website to see which jobs have a mean annual salary of over $70,000. O*NET assigns each job a score between one and 100 based on the degree to which the job involves operating in high-stress scenarios with calmness. Here are 18 high-paying positions with a "stress tolerance" score of 93 or higher.
