don't forget the stress of a low skill job stays at the job, you don't take them home with you. A career job (for lack of a better word) can very easily come home with you. As a programmer I've been stressed out day and night worrying about deadlines. When I worked at a corner store I went home and slept like a baby.
Whether you worty about work at home or not is really up to you, not the job. I see what you are saying, but after clocking out (figuratively) I may take a message from a coworker here and there, but I don't think about work at all. And similarly, with the gas station, I could get called in if someone called off. It was usually something I could turn down, but still.
no, leaving stress at work is not up to the individual, it's up to the job. Financial advisor? Sure, you go home and you've done what you can do for the day. A software engineer working 14 hour days to meet an unrealistic deadline, sorry, you don't just shut that off when you go home. You're thinking about the next day and everything you need to get done. As for the gas station job, getting called into work isn't stressful. It's annoying, not stressful.
Sounds like you are working wrong. Also, you are in demand, you don't need to be worked like a rented mule. You have those hours and that stress because you allow it.
