No matter how much you enjoy your current job, you’ve probably daydreamed about making decent money doing something a whole lot easier.
A while back, redditoru/coco-beanzasked, “People who have insanely easy/lazy [jobs] and make good money…what do you do?'
Here are 14 of the top responses:
1.“I work for a university part time. My job is an e-learning assistant. Basically, if someone is too foolish to start a Zoom meeting, they call me, and I tell them how to do it. Haven’t had a call in 18 months. Still get paid.”
2.“While in school, I worked in a gym (still do but less) once or sometimes twice a week on the weekends. It consists of basically sitting around and doing nothing except help a customer once or twice in my 6.5h shifts and clean up at the end of the day. I earned about 450€ (in Germany) monthly and didn’t (and still don’t) have to pay for membership (35€ a month).”
" There are also lots of cool perks , like private alter room for the coaches , a smirch to hive away my own barbell ( I ’m a powerlifter ) , and free parking anytime in our city center .
Have to say I get down prosperous , because most other gymnasium are n’t as chill but still great if you do n’t want do do much . "

" I sour part - fourth dimension at a gym during the evenings . My only responsibleness is to take the air around and re - single-foot the weight people use and do n’t put back . The whole time I ’m there , I get to work out and lift weights , so I literally get paid to work out . "

7.“One of my best friends…was the art director for a major financial institution. Hisonlyjob was to ensure branding guidelines were being followed across all the many different groups. They would send him the materials or present to him on a call, and he would provide detailed feedback. That’s it. He worked about two hours a day, and his base salary was $200k.”
" He did this occupation for 18 months before quitting because he felt [ like ] his brain [ was ] dying from playing video games all daylight . "

8.“I worked for a school district. I was hired under the pretenses that I was going to be doing sysadmin work. I started doing this work, until the union literally stepped in and told me I was working too hard and to stop. After some arguments with my boss, the union got their wish. I was getting analyst level pay, picking up the phone saying, ‘Have you turned it off and on again?’ on repeat.”
" I got so bored that I automated 95 % of my job with PowerShell and recorded my voice to preserve me the intimation of saying the same things over and over again . I commence dabbling with AI to endeavor to get the calls in full automatize after a while and only tease me when the AI could n’t fix the issue . I was bore out of my nous until I in conclusion found a WFH problem that pay about the same .
And yes , my ' government ' coworkers consider full vantage of this . Two - time of day lunches , leaving early every Friday , doing maybe one time of day of real workplace a day , and the eternal sleep just hanging out and express joy . I will say , I watched some corking flick while I form there and taught myself a spate of technology to help me advance in my calling , though . But I felt bad knowing my salary was being give by revenue enhancement dollar , and I was n’t doing any tangible work . "

9.“Growing up, my friend was a bread-shelfing person. They’d go to a store, take bread from the back, and put it on the shelf. It got to be so easy, they grabbed a second route, then a third. Each route was 40 hours, and you were supposed to check the stores two times a day, three on holidays and storms. They just didn’t and gave each shift manager a business card to call if it needed stocked early. 120 (no OT pay) hours a week pay for probably 18 hours worth of work.”
10.“Security for government facilities. I make $55 an hour to sit on my ass and watch DVDs…assuming the TV and DVD player aren’t broken. That’s with no college education, and really anyone with any customer service experience can get into security easily.”
" I hate my business , though . No cell phones , no cyberspace access . The fop on day fracture founder our TV a while back ; we went like four months with nothing but staring at the bulwark to do . You ca n’t get up and walk around , you do n’t have even TV channel , there are n’t any receiving set , and as I suppose , nothing with WiFi / bluetooth / mike or tv camera are grant in . So … you just sat , for 12 hours … .It sounds nice , but after hour three , you wanna puke . "

11.“Packing boxes in a pharmaceutical factory. It’s easy but boring.”
12.“I work for a unionized food/drink production facility that is largely automated. I babysit systems, do a little hands on work here and there, and react to alarms going off. Also, I play a lot ofDiablo.”
" No degree or special skills involve , but I am stuck on a midnight shimmy basically incessantly .
It ’s a peachy gig that pays $ 80 - 100k a year , and it is SO gentle , but the down productivity and zero merit - based decisions still make it thwarting at clock time . Seniority is world-beater , so there is no incentive to work harder than anyone else — it literally will do nothing for you . "

13.“I work in a casino overseeing a team of hosts. Their job is mainly to print membership cards, sign people up as members, and handle general enquiries. I motivate them, handle promotions and responsible gambling, as well as talk shit with my team all day and just generally chill. Four days on/three days off, five weeks annual leave a year. About $90k.”

14.And finally: “I was recently hired for $150k a year to help a video game studio produce high-quality cinematics. They’re not actually making any right now, though, so I don’t really do much all day.”
" I have to opine it will deepen at some item , but it ’s been four months . I ’m honestly not sure why they hired me . "
