What are casual, comfy careers that allow you to pursue your independent interests on the side while making enough salary to travel periodically? The catch for this kind of career is you can't have a family since usually the salary isn't high enough to attract a woman and pay for kids, but that's not a problem for most of 4chan.

The one example I can think of is school teacher. You work at most 9 hour days (6-7 classroom teaching, 2-3 grading) for a 40-50 hour work week. Guaranteed weekends off, periodic holidays and breaks, guaranteed 2 months summer vacation. This would give you plenty of time to read, travel, etc. You would probably even have time to become a brilliant expert at some outside field. You could research mathematics, practice boxing, write novels, or whatever the fuck you wanted to if you had the drive. I bet teaching is annoying as fuck to do but it is at least varied and it isn't mind numbing physical labor.

The contrast to this is something like corporate lawyer or investment banker where you make shit tons of money and if you work 100+ hours a week can plan on being a multimillionaire in your forties, getting any bitch you want, and send all your kids to Harvard or to be fratdaddies at State U.

But what are some other kinds of career like the first? Where you have low/stable hours and can make a comfy living?
