These Are Apparently the Best Jobs for Work/Life Balance


Want a job that doesn't essentially require sleeping under your desk? (DON'T WE ALL.) According to job-listings site Glassdoor, there are 25 gigs with particularly great hours you should have on your radar.



Glassdoor asked reviewers to rate their sense of work/life balance on a scale of 0 to 5, and they found that people are feeling less and less balanced every year. Back in 2009, the average rating was a 3.5, but now it's a 3.2. There ​are​, though, jobs where employees rate highly — like data scientists, who had the highest work/life balance rating at 4.2 out of 5, and the highest salary on the list, with a whopping $114,808.
