Sometimes, the stress that comes along with certain jobs just isn’t worth it.

And, let’s be honest, everyone handles stress differently.

A TikTokker named Dez posted a video on the social media platform and talked about the big career change she made.

In the video, Dez can be seen watering plants at her job.

The text overlay reads, “How it feels to quit my 8-5 as a social worker and work a job where no one’s life depends on me.”

Dez seems happy in her new role and she did a little dance for the camera.

In the video’s caption, she wrote, “Just water flowers and be pretty.”
