There are jobs that expect less more stress endurance than others and jobs that expect less, but it might also be helpful to consider if there's anything you don't find as stressful in the first place as other people. Like, separate from my overall stress tolerance, I find hunting small differences in numbers oddly soothing, so I might find being an accountant less stressful than someone who's frustrated when things don't add up right. (Uh, or possibly not, I don't realyly know what accountants do. But you get the idea.) Meanwhile, after years of customer service, the word "customer" makes my blood pressure shoot into the atmosphere. Anything positive -- have you had any particular tasks that calmed you down at work, is there anything you do at home that calms you down, etc.? Or anything neutral, like not being terrified of phone calls. (A bad example, everyone is terrified of phone calls.)
