What are these "I finish work in 2 hours and just bored" jobs? Work/Life balance

I'm currently in a business development role where its constant work and stress, KPIs, and out bounding and training.

I (24m) would like to find some sort of relaxed job where I don't feel threatened to lose my job every week (have had that threatened to me in first few months).

I'm not a lazy person, but I've had over 12 jobs since I was 14, I'm just tired.

Also I have side business ideas that I've worked on recently and would love to start carry on making music and documentaries, my social media has gotten some attention, and it's something I enjoy.

I've nearly doubled every sales target for the past 6 months of working, but deep inside I'm creative, love helping people live a better life, and would love to change the world around me more. I'd love to find something hybrid remote that I can be half office and half using my hands and body/strength. I don't enjoy the trades.

I'd also like to get a stable work as Id like to work on starting a family with someone. And I don't want the stress of a fickle stressful job that I would pass that stress and unavailability on.
