^^^ I think thats what they call 'Retirement'

 

[MidwestElkHutner]

Let me know when you find that "holy grail"...I'll join you!!

 

[Antarctica]

Por..... - Nevermind.

Shift work in the Gulf of Mexico hits three of those. Maybe only two.

You don't list any skills, but writing code would meet all four. If you can stand that sort of thing (I can't).

 

[tgus59]

There are sales jobs that fit that bill.

 

[justin84]

You sound like a millennial

All kidding aside, that's a hard question to answer without knowing what experience you have. I'm sure you could find statistics on industries that tend to offer more flexible benefits like you listed.

Maybe start playing the lottery

 

[Crowmangler]

Just pick a trade & become a subcontractor...
you determine your price
no drug tests
some just show up whenever the heck they feel like it & take the whole damn hunting season off

You a male or female?


I understand there is decent money to be made with a webcam.

But 41 maybe you have aged out.

I’ve considered getting a masters and teaching online classes. A retired game warden I know makes decent money teaching troops taking online criminal justice classes. Tons of freedom.

 

[Sterlingsilva]

whatever it is... let me know where to sign up

 

[wildwilderness]

The simple answer is be an entrepreneur. There is no "job" that will fit your requirements, you have to create the "business" . Read the book "4hr work week" will give you some ideas. If you don't understand what I mean, read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" to learn about passive income.

How about being a shepherd? (as noted in the wonderful comedy, Fletch).
I am actually at this crossroads as well...

 

[Professor]

I think there really are no jobs that would meet all of your conditions. 1 and 2 can be done together. 3 is more difficult but 4 is the breaker. Jobs that meet the first 3 conditions tend to carry significant responsibility. Somewhere up the line there will be someone with a deadline or a budget issue demanding your attention. Contrary to popular belief, owning a business does not give you more freedom. It is possible to build a business to that level but your free time will be dependent on the competence of those you employ, and it is shocking how incompetent employees can be when the boss is in the Mountains.

I think the answer is the same as the old joke about how to get rich. "First, get a million dollars." You might need to adjust that figure for inflation.

Do you have any specific knowledge that could help others? For the last 13 years I've created and sold online training courses, coaching, marketing systems and field training for real estate brokers/agents and contractors. I have no office, no employees and no obligation to continue past tomorrow if I decide to completely retire. I typically work a couple days a week, spend summers away (too hot in AZ) and hunt wherever and whenever I can draw tags. All I need is my laptop, internet and a few hours a week. If you have any interest in starting a web based business I'd recommend you buy Russel Brunsons books "Expert Secrets" and "Dotcom Secrets". I'd be happy to take 10 min to answer any questions you may have about my journey but I have nothing to sell to you or any other Rockslide members. This place is where I come to escape from anything business related.

I should also mention that although I didn't "go back to school", I do read a dozen or more books, attend a couple live training events, and complete several web based trainings each year. I am a firm believer that you have to learn more to earn more.

Bottom of the list from Google search:



Maybe you could look into life coaching once you figure it out.

Influencer on social media.

Influencer on social media.

I’d posit 0% of people on social media actually making money work solo. Most have full-on staff to generate the simulacrum you see...
