Leave low-paying job for higher-paying job with more stress

I'm considering leaving a low-paying job for a higher-paying job with more stress, despite having a stable job and a degree in environmental sustainability.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew if I'm making the right decision for my career and mental health."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't be afraid to take risks and pursue opportunities that can lead to growth and financial stability."

Clear regret.
The downsides outweighed what was gained.
