10 Best Jobs for Balancing Work and Life (June 2020) 10 Best Jobs for Balancing Work and Life in 2020 Image Source: iStockBalancing  work and life is a tough nut to crack in the boundary-eroding modern age, where the technology in our pockets has the potential to link us directly to work issues at any hour of the day or night. As technological development accelerates, the concept of balancing work and life has, to a great extent,  become a myth for entrepreneurs, business managers and team leaders.This does not apply solely to the tech arena. AGENT recently spoke to London-based entrepreneur Grace Regan, who departed the tech sector to pursue Spicebox, a startup opportunity in the culinary sector. She is working, almost literally, 24-7. “The startup life is really hard, and it is not glamorous… but Im doing Spicebox because it’s the thing I have to do,” she said.Such a life is not for everyone. That is why game-changing entrepreneurs are a special breed. For the rest of us, though, work-life balance continues to be a key aspiration, especially if you have greater commitments to consider on the ‘life’ side of the equation, such as family and children.There is a host of fantastic literature on work life balance, including such definitive studies as  Jim Loehr’s and Tony Schwartz’s The Power of Full Engagement; Matthew Kelly’s Off Balance; Bill Collier’s great How to Succeed as a Small Business Owner and Still Have a Life; and John C Bogle’s Enough: True Measures of Money, Business, and Life.But what about the day to day reality of work-life balance, and the actual jobs?  Glassdoor, one of the world’s swiftest growing jobs and recruitment websites, regards balancing work and life as  one of its most important  factors in recruitment. They monitor data on work-life balance  annually, and have expressed concern that even for career professionals, work-life balance satisfaction appears to be on the wane.For those who really can’t pursue something that demands a 24/7 professional commitment, the recruitment specialists have  identified 25 key jobs that score highest on a 5-point scale, 1.0 being very dissatisfied; 3.0 being OK, and 5.0 being very satisifed.Glassdoor compiled the list from the feedback shared with the website during 2015, and here are the jobs with the highest work-life balance (WLB) rating: (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Top 10 Jobs for Balancing Work and Life  (2015) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); 1.
