BUT, the only reason people have jobs is because they need money. And they need money why? Oh, to eat, pay bills, clothe themselves, shelter themselves, and pay for the expenses of going to work. What if you just went to the end of the Appalacian Trail and hiked it for 4 months? They don't work, just walk. Some of them do it all the time.

Yes, a company maserati and unlimited expense account would be nice, but also consider: How vital are issues like flexibility; creativity; working environment etc? Do you like working in a team or are you far more of an independent operator? How do you really feel about managing staff and taking the lead? Do you fancy a job that challenges you or one that you are able to do quickly? The clearer you are about what you want, the much more likely you are going to get it.

That's six years of higher education. It's now a very competitive field and you spend a lot your time public speaking, doing outreach with other organizations and basically busting your butt to promote the library. Those story times are well planned and based on Early Literacy Education factors. Not a lazy gig by any means. Academic librarians often have two Master's degrees and teach college classes. Everyone who works at the library is not a librarian. The librarian who is sitting at the reference desk "looking bored" is waiting for you to ask them a reference question and will probably only be there an hour or two before going back to their work desks.

Geez I'm soooo tired now that I'm in my fifties. I've gotten by with some easy jobs in the past but you gave me some more ideas. Thanks for the ideas. Geez I'm soooo tired now that I'm in my fifties.

Let me tell all of those whom may be reading this... It says for the job description: "Work on your tan all summer long, without having to do much of anything other than sit in a large chair, occasionally blow a whistle, and remind children to stop running every once in a while." That is FALSE. From the eyes of somebody who is pretty experienced with the life guard life, they want to make it sound like its laid back. I get in trouble if I miss things such as kids running or people jumping off the ledge of the pool. I've already done a few mediocre saves where you jump in and save somebody from drowning.. so you have to constantly keep your attention on ALL the people in the water, which can really sky rocket on hot days.

Lets see, blogger, been there, done that. Still do. Easy cash. Mystery Shopper, been there, done that. (Let me tell you, you don't make enough money and you spend it all getting the calluses off your feet and curing your carpal tunnel). Babysitter, haven't done it in years but yeah I loved those gigs where the kids were in bed when I got there and didn't wake up while I was there. Nice! Librarian, wow that was a tough job, my problem was I wanted to sit down and read all the books, but it was a sweet gig! Other lazy jobs I've had, transcribing tv video tapes of shows for HGTV, dead simple! Watch a VHS tape of people ripping down their house, type what they say while they do it, better yet, get the job transcribing the B-Roll, all you had to do was describe what was in the frame. I could do that and watch soaps at the same time (neither required much work). Posting and selling stuff on Craig's LIst, another easy job! Hardest part was scanning the photos! Oh and collecting the cash! Crossing guard, never did it but I woulnd't want to, don't like standing in the rain and snow! Ah I am the queen of the lazy jobs!

Lifeguards do have to go through rigorous training to get certified and hired. I watched the lifeguards train and it is really physical, you must be in good shape to pass the physical exam. i think aside from the lifeguard the rest of the list is pretty good.
