My job is very physical in a moving around kind of way, not heavy weights. I find myself slowing down and having trouble going as fast as I used to. The only low physical activity jobs I can think of that don't pay jack shit are computer jobs, and I suppose some types of management could be like that. I would like to learning programming type stuff, but I find it to be boring as shit. These days I don't want to spend my non-working time doing much of anything that isn't leisurely.
The most do-nothing job I ever had was monitoring the removal of storm debris. The only problems were it's temporary, and it required working all day, every day. There were some people who did this stuff full time, and they travel around the country to where the disasters are. I would assume you would need management experience in order to do this full time. It will also heavily interfere with your life being sent to wherever you're needed. It probably pays a good bit, though. The actual job mostly involves dealing with people problems and management stuff. I guess at times there was truck cert that involves actually measuring the trucks. If you really can't do that, there are usually other people you can get to go up in the truck and measure while you stand there with a clipboard.
The 2 top paying jobs in the world are advertising and then sales. Sadly.
I forgot about those kinds of things, because I don't think I'd be good at them.
Advertising: How am I going to appeal to morons today?
Sales. Well, I just tend to care about people too much and want to help rather than just seeing them as someone I need to manipulate into doing something. For some sales jobs, there is also the appealing to morons aspect of things. "Car goes vroom vroom. Very fast."
In my category, I'm looking for very specific contractors, they know their customer pays for their sand paper and they also write their consumables off in taxes at the end of every year. So when they get their gun, knife, TV, what ever they used their points on. Someone else paid for it. Even though our stuff is expensive, the contractor technically shouldn't care because we don't teary to be anybody especially main supplier either.
