Which jobs give the highest annual leaves in 2020?

As i grow older, time begins to be more important than money. When young, we are usually attracted to jobs which pay the best. When we reach our 30s to 40s, time becomes more important especially when we have children. 

Is it possible to have our cake and eat it too? A job that pays well and also have more annual leave. 

It seems it's possible. 

The data below are taken from the Ministry of Manpower.

https://data.gov.sg/dataset/distribution-of-full-time-employees-by-annual-leave-entitlement?resource_id=1b56422d-73e4-4853-9aab-88a8ddb753af

Those working in the financial services sector have the highest amount of annual leave with 62.7% of them having annual leave of over 21 days. Compare this with those working in the cleaning and landscaping sector where 97% of them have annual leave of 14 days and below.

While the above are just purely based on numbers, it pays to also consider whether one can truly "rest " during annual leave without mental stress or or thinking about work deadlines.

My friend commented that Pilots have the best jobs because not only are they paid quite well, when they are on leave or breaks, they are totally switched off and truly resting.
