Ome of those “fell through the cracks” WFH positions where a person goes undiscovered for long periods of time with essentially no work to do
That just sounds like independently wealthy enough not to need a job.
There are so many things that are more important to me than what the actual job is. Working close to home (but not at home), predictable half-time hours, mostly working alone, working for a non-profit/government/individual, etc.
But all that aside for the sake of discussion, if I could operate a train that’d be awesome.
Honorable mention for bike mechanic and lab science grunt.
I would absolutely LOVE to plan events for non profit organizations

I did make good money writing custom erotica at one point, but the internet killed that after a few years. Why buy when there’s something almost as specific out there for free? Which meant that when someone did want something, what they’d pay for it dipped way below what it was worth to do.
