What kind of jobs allow for the /lit/ life?

I have my mind set on something

>easy
>not tiring
>outside
>talk with people

I have an engineering (computers) degree but I don't think a programming job will allow me the time to be lazy and experiment around town.

Sure I'm not hoping for a huge salary, just enough to live and buy shit here and there.

Something that makes you heavily depressed/insane. Only depressed/insane individuals make great writers. And if you're a woman, you will never become a great writer, so don't even bother trying.

What is it?

I would like one where I can take my laptop or better yet a remote one, to write and shitpost while I work

It's data entry, but a special kind specific to my area. I have to type all day, so I can't shitpost, but I can listen to anything I want all day, and that amounts to a loottt of reading/audio courses/music/whatever throughout the week.

It's like being forced to read slowly 8 hours a day.

Just the life and career of a writer.

Liberal-capitalism demands we work their hours at useless jobs so we can fill their pockets riches. Or you live like a hobo/neet-leech

Because of my career choice I did plenty computer work, I can do the 8 hours on a PC but it has to be on my terms outside and not in an office.

>>7044109
I'm might be moving to another country in a few months so the neet-leech life is coming to an end, it's too expensive

People say good things about being a night auditor--especially if you know how to program/Excel hack and can automate your work--but you risk getting shot.

The answer is "park ranger" or "conservationist" or some other bullshit academic job.

You know what those guys do most of the time? Nothing. They fly around in a plane once a week to "survey", make up some bullshit numbers to file in a report (because they can't see shit), and then just chill in their cabin.

>Incredible dangerous job. Any bag you lift could have a knife or some other shit poke out of it and stab you with botulism.

No thanks. Trashmen, I applaud you for your thankless and essential work. I hope you are reborn as devas.
