Oh gosh, Sheila, I really have to urge you to pass on the high stress job.  The money will not be worth it. 

One of the other posters mentioned being wary of places that advertise themselves as "fast paced" or "high energy".  I agree completely with her.  These places usually have a high turnover, and for a good reason.  Employees burn out fast in environments like that.

You can't really put a price on a having a job you like, with a good boss, flex time, and job autonomy, but your life will be much happier.
