what is the career path that I should go down if I want a low-stress

All of those are stressful, almost the most stressful possible, are you serious? Maybe if you can become a consultant or something, but you would need years of stressful job experience first anyways. Be a bank teller if you're ok with politics and sucking up. Really any job that you work part-time or 9-5 (exactly, no more, period). Going into education isn't a bad choice (on the administration side, not the dirty teaching side lol) How about library administration? It pays well and is clean.

really, programming is stressful? it seems like it would be a relatively low stress thing. I can see the others being stressful, though

I suggest you get a basic job in accountancy or any other kind of numeracy based work if you want free time on the side of your work

Engineering is honestly the worst kind of job for people who want free time and dont want to take work home with them, you are a slave to whatever project your company is working on.

Law and programming are also high workload careers and this is why they pay so well.

Protip: Any job that sounds "impressive" enough to make your parents proud, is going to require pretty much all of your attention and energy. Especially if you want to have a personal life too, you're not going to get your novels written in addition to a real career.

If writing is your passion, then you should honestly be a security guard or a truck driver or something like that. A regular-ass job with enough built-in idle time to get some thinking/writing done while you're on the clock.

so is there no way to not be a disgrace to my family until I get my novel published?
t. guy with lawyer/doctor parents constantly pressuring me to get a good respectable job

Well, are you a good writer or not? Good writers are very well-respected, but it takes time to get paid for it. You'll need to make some money in the meantime, but you also need time to develop your craft and write the book, so... there's no perfect solution here. Humble yourself and get a dumb day-job like every other aspiring artist

Yeah I'm pretty good. I couldn't imagine living without writing. That's how much it means to me. The only thing I'm worried about is my parents' reaction to me geting some dead-end job after paying for my college education. They're not very supportive of my writing, which is too bad, but understandable. I don't mind working a bad job, it's just that I don't want to disappoint my parents too much
