This x1000

I had summer jobs that were mindless. i.e. I had to stuff envelopes for some academic survey for two weeks. I could do it by myself, when I felt like it. The first day was fine. By the second day I was daydreaming about doing anything else.

Remember - It's important to be comfortable in your own skin... because it turns out society frowns on wearing other people's

I spent 2 summers driving a fork lift on a loading dock. It was shift work, but for someone with 1/2 a brain that can keep things organized it was great. I was pursuing an engineering degree at the time and possessed 2/3 of the brain power in a crew of 20.

Work night shifts monday, tuesday, thrusday, friday 10 hrs each, with union protection making over time at 8 hours.

Its colder than a witches tit on the dock in the winter however.

Spent a summer working at a marina on a very large lake in the metro, paid dirt but it was fun as hell. Customer service work, but it was people out having fun.

Pactimo brand ambassador, ask me about promo codes

 
Tenured* Professor.

* meaning you have to get through school, grad-school, post-doc, and the publish or perish phase of academia... but then when you've got tenure, you can just sit back. Had a prof that made his name in STEM field, then when tenured went all religious and didn't do any STEM work (or much of any work) for years before officially retiring.

POTUS

  Bicycle messenger. Retired now. It was a second career as well as a second childhood. Pay was modest with some bumps, bruising and broken bones to be expected during a break-in period.

I have a friend who spent a winter caretaking a lodge in the Brooks Range in Alaska. 24 hrs of darkness for a lot of it. Only company was a couple of dogs.

 
Art Handler at a Museum

Actually a real job/role. They're the guys (or gals) that setup and break down a museum's curated exhibitions, as well as handling and prepping art pieces for transport (to/from loan). For obvious reasons, there's a skill (trainable) to knowing how to handle art. The AHs we've known happen to be artists themselves, and use the job to support themselves (but being an artist is not a pre-requisite to do the job).

I suppose, working for a moving company would also fit the bill.

1. "Absolutely no sales, marketing, or self-promotion (especially no selling anything that has been bought or processed)"

Was that a deliberate reference to John Cusack in Say Anything?




"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed."

Boom! Kickboxer!

takes training I suppose

Be a great place to work if we could get rid of the hired help and customers. Sounds like OP is looking for the unicorn wrangler position.

YES, I'm amazed that it took until post #33 to get a comment on that!!!!!!!

Zoo keeper ticks many of the criteria, assuming you're someone who has a strong interest in animals. If that's you, the necessary training, skills and knowledge comes pretty easily.

Admittedly the hours and days are on a set roster, so there isn't flexibility regarding time.

The job occasionally presents travel opportunities if you want to pursue them (eg field work), but it's not usually mandatory.
