Contract geologist, except instead of the city you'll be seeing the world.
That seriously sounds pretty much exactly like the first 8-12 months of my career. I then took a salaried cubicle position and it has since changed, but you don't have to. You can stay field-based.
Yeah i was thinking of being a mailman. But isn't it competitive since it is being replace my computers? Honestly that would be a perfect job for me. I like how they just walk around the neighborhood casually. Too bad jobs are being cutback
I was also thinking of a self employed message therapist. Going to client houses and giving them massages
UPS driver probably wouldn't work for what he's looking for. The job is very physically demanding, lots of customer interaction, and can be very stressful since their drivers are held to a pretty strict timeline - they're all tracked with GPS now so managers know exactly where you're driving, how much time you've spent at a stop, etc. My UPS drivers have been pretty frustrated with it lately.
After hours office cleaning service ( if you don't mind working off hours.)
Everyone would be gone by the time you show up, the work is physical but not back breaking, you don't need to be sitting in front of a computer, you get to move from client to client etc. Eventually you could strike out on your own.
How about house painter?
You are your own boss, the weather won't be a factor in most cases, you stay fit, work your own hours, get paid well and have something to show for your work at the end.

You know what i also thought about that. It is a skilled trade that is not as stressful as other trades and does not take a toll on your body as much. I was also thinking of landscaping but the sun burns you up, digging messes up your wrist and back and i think it is more stressful.
With painting you can be your own boss, stay fit, and learn a skilled trade. Not a bad idea
I have respect for skilled painters who take pride in their work, especially those that can also hang wallpaper!
With the aging of the population many folks that used to paint DIY will now gladly pay handsomely for a good professional job. Perseverence, attention to detail, and a knowledge of the latest in wall covering/painting technology will lead to good references, solid employment, and genuine pride of workmanship.
Good luck to you Almeida93, whatever path you choose!
