I’ve always thought like a Tony Martinez with Fox 12 job is the cushiest. Look at traffic cameras and tell people where the traffic is fucked like once an hour. In a cozy newsroom studio. My cousin actually used to have this job in St Louis area. Left and took a job being a spokesperson for the fire department there. So the money must not be great. What’s a job that you’ve thought about and been like damn. That person doesn’t do shit and I’d like to do that?
I went to high school with a guy who became a long time local sports newscaster. I always thought he had it cushy but it was essentially a "swing shift" schedule with a lot of prep time up front. He had to put in a lot of hours and he missed a lot of time with his kids when they were growing up. As he was pretty well known, it also messed with his privacy quite a bit. As this place proves, everyone has an opinion and everyone is eager to share it. Eventually he got tired of it and got into the dry cleaning business. There's definitely easier ways to make a living......
Comedy writer. Comedy is kind of a hobby of mine. Well, actually, it's a little more than just a hobby, Reader's Digest is considering publishing two of my jokes.
Moderator in this forum is another one. Get to live in a castle and merge a couple threads here and there.
Republican member of Congress. Don't have to pass any bills, do any governing. Just think of pithy sound bites attacking immigrants, trans people, "liberals" to play on Fox.
I actually love what I do for work. But I’m sitting here on paid leave watching the news imagining how people can have such an easy job. Like telling people what the traffic cameras say twice an hour for about 3 hours a day.
Trying to figure it out right now, actually. I just finished up what is hopefully my last w-2 job as I move to launch a start up in the coming months. Here's to being your own boss!
I have a friend who got a huge govt grant to study the leisure lifestyles of indigenous people all around the world...that's the best job I've ever seen anyone get..he literally partied for a living and got to see the world at the same time. I was a tour guide for female Japanese college exchange students in Hawaii for a while...that was an easy job...hang at the beach and take them shopping and dining and sight seeing places like Kona or Akaka Falls, the Parker Ranch and Hilo...etc
