Best area of finance to enter if you dont care about comp?

I wanted to know what the best area of finance is to enter if you dont care about comp / prestige. As long as I can live in NYC and make enough to cover rent, food and basic life expenses. If I dont want to make insane money is there a field of finance where I can have a good WLB and learn if it comes at the expense of comp?
