That type of job?

You're awesome!

Thanks for making me LOL!

As to the OP, the poster who replied with "entrepreneur" probably gave you the best answer. I've been an entrepreneur for 30 years, and it's not an easy path but it is a wild ride. I've had five small businesses (some concurrently), and good grief, I'm not sure it was the smartest move.

A small business will have you working 80+ hours a week the first few years and then, if you're really, really lucky, you'll make about 80% of what your 40-hour-a-week friends are making, but the taxes (double social security tax) and the paperwork and the government and the bookkeeping and the hassles take away a lot of the fun.

In my early 40s, I finally found some success (as far as "fame" goes), but I never did make much money. I survived, but looking over the shoulder at my 40-hour-a-week friends, I think they made the better choice (some days).

Someone said public works. When I read your OP I was thinking of some kind of meter reader for the power, gas, or water companies. Low stress, you're out and about all the time without it being too physically demanding and very little interaction with the public. Only draw back is you wouldn't be your own boss, but I hear the utility companies have great benefits. Lets face it entrepreneurship is very demanding and stressful.

Yeah that is also a good idea. I was also thinking a surveyor or something but that is more competitive and requires a bachelors i believe
