Been doing this damn firewatch job at one of the local refineries, man is it boring. Literally, stand around all day and do nothing.

On the other hand, I'm not breaking my back diggin a ditch let alone even working up a sweat. Boring but extremely easy. Good practice for bow hunting [;)].

So who else here makes a decent living doing next to nothing? What is or was the best combonation job/pay you ever had?

I feel the same way, I am a designer for an engineering company, we havent had work in a few months, so I just sit in my office and play on the internet, I feel really worthless at work though.

One time I was the night monitor at a substance abuse halfway house. I was paid the princely wage of $6 an hour to lay on the couch, watch cable tv, drink coffee and do my homework.

One every 3 hours or so I had to "tuck the kids in" or make sure the residents were in their beds. They didn't pay OT, but I didn't care.  I quit because 2 of the days were on weekends.

I'm into buying rundown houses, rehabbing them, then resell. I work 3 months out of 12 and reap the rewards of my labors.


I also do some stock trading and selling items on ebay. It's a pretty good living if you can make it work[:D]

I worked as a security guard in graduate school where I spent 90%+ of my time sitting at a desk in an empty building. I tried to study, but wow was that boring. Beat factory and farming by quite a bit, though!
