Ok I have 20 years experience and no degree. My background is in network administration and all the desktop support that goes along with it and application support etc. My last job burned me out so bad I dont ever want to be the emergency room of the IT dept again. I now have a nice high paying software support job but it aint gonna last forever. Has anyone found a low stress niche in IT? Does it mean a big company? I might be able to go for a degree or some certs. I am just not willing to go back to being the guy who has to save the world if it goes down and you stay at work until its fixed (sometimes for days) and get called in the middle of the night. I want a max of a 45-50 hr work week with no emergency aspect to it.
My dream job would be to teach theology or something meaningful but teaching IT doesnt sound too bad. As long as its teaching and not doing demos to help sell widgets.
I wouldnt mind working for the gov or non profit as a pension would be nice too. I am 40. Do I have to totally change careers?
The other bad thing. I cant take much of a pay cut. I am just under 70k now. In a lower cost area I could probably go down to 50k but my debt is unbearably high.
I think I will end up leaving my work in a pine box if I have to have job that is anything like the last three I have had before this one.

I don’t want to work. I am lazy. But not personally lazy. I am “other people” lazy. In other words, I am lazy when I have to work for other people but work hard for myself such as lifting weights, working out, making money in a job I enjoy, doing something I love.
I also hate running a timetable according to someone else. I dont like being obligated or committed. It is the lifestyle of being free that I love so much. I was tied to a career, a home and relationship and was msierable. I recently was laid off, filed bankrutpcy, and relationship is over. I am free and i love it.
I wish I could stay home and make tons of money. I hate having to be somewhere to make money for someone else only to increase my bank account with a small amount just to pay my bills. I tried starting an internet business so many times and failed. Its all a scam. Anything that is offered to me is a scam. The only way to make money is so find a niche ON YOUR OWN and start from there.
I wish I could do what I want and make my own hours. I love freedom! I need flexible hours. Maybe work two jobs acording my schedule? I actually got layed off from a full time teaching job and now work as a subsitute teacher and love it! I don’t make much money, but I don’t have to work if I don’t want to. I have no boss to answer to, dont have to work that day if I dont want to either. I only make 80 dollars a day, but I love it. No more teacher meetings, no papers to grade, different student faces everyday, if i had a bad day i never have to go back to that school again, and no coaching after school sports. it’s a dream job. Now if I could find another flexible job to supplement my subsitute job.
Again, I will work very hard if it benefits me personally like working out at the gym or writing or doing something i love. But having to start a career and work for someone else give me knots. I love having a flexible lifestyle.
Money is something we all need but im miserable when I have to work hard for someone else in order to make money to survive. That is the part that sucks.
I thought of several careers for fun or easy jobs–but most are low paying–
Flight attendant, actor, writer, subsittute teacher, call center job sitting on your butt, working hotel service jobs. Im much older in my 40’s and im done with the career, home, get rich, have a family lifestyle. I just enjoy being single, free, money in the bank and making my own hours and having fun. That is the best life. Free of chains!
Anyone got ideas for a lazy guy who wants to make a lot of money sitting on my butt and working my own hours?

Hi guys, I’m going to be a freshman in college this upcoming fall. I’m filipino and a girl.. I dunno if you guys know the stereotype of how filipina girls are nurses and such, it’s somewhat true, because ALL of my aunts are nurses, besides my mom. She wanted to wear a business suit and work in a cubicle. 😛 My mom has stressed all my life how I will be set with money + having a job when I get out of school. She has told me all these things about nursing that just made me feel so set.. So I grew up wanting to be a nurse. I took a health sciences course, and it was alright. It was nice to wear the lab coat and go see surgeries and shadow doctors and such, but…
lately I’ve been having some sort of doubt when I think of nursing. Although I would be making good money, have no trouble finding a job, I don’t know if this is really what I want to be. I’m just SUPER confused about what to do, because I don’t know if a job is really something you’re supposed to like, that’s what it seems. My mom says how ‘it’s just a dream job’, nursing is what will keep you living well.
Baking is a hobby of mine, and it relaxes me, and I feel so free when I bake. My niches are being creative, and drawing. I don’t like saying it, but I have always been the ‘good drawer’ in class, and I don’t know how to explain it, I know I have great potential to be a baker… This is what I made for a cake walk. I only used those $1 cake mixes, but I tried to make them pretty:

I made 10 cakes in 12 hours..

I’ve never had a baking class or even really an art class… Agh, this is sort of just a rant, but I honestly don’t know what to do…
