I’d like to just be a UPS or any delivery driver. Just drive around all day delivering things. Seems super easy.
Ehh.
Early mornings, late nights, no air conditioning, takes a toll on your lower extremities and back and those guys start in bullshite jobs in the warehouse which are absolute clusterfricks.

I can verify that delivering and dollying beer packages (plus 162 lb kegs) in a side-loader semi for 15 hours a day, in Houston heat with no A/C, is much tougher than hauling hay.

I used to drive and deliver cars for a car rental company..
They were all day trips and you worked (drive) about three to four days a week.
They would even call the day before and ask if you want to drive tomorrow.
You could say no if you wanted the day off.
Plus you could pick your route. Example, Shreveport to Little Rock or Shreveport to Alexandria and back.
Driving different cars all the time with some great stereo systems.
Part time and paid about $10 an hour. Mostly for retirees that wanted out of the house.
ZERO stress. Greatest laid back job of all time.

While walking around the lsu lake there is some type of construction crew that has two guys in a small boat taking measurements in the lake.
Six or seven guys just shooting the shite on the lake bank watching the two guys work.
I wanna be one of the six.

Cleaning gutters. No, it's not glamorous, but people can make a couple hundred bucks per job and do 4-5 jobs a day. Bring in $1k per day is doable. A great little gig for young dudes.
I had a buddy in high school who kept an extension ladder on his truck and would drive around and start cleaning people's gutters. When they came and asked what the hell he was doing he'd say "John asked me to clean the gutters". Of course most of the time they did not know who John was but more often than not paid him $20 to finish the job...sometimes not but more often than not. He could easily make a couple of hundred dollars on a Saturday and that was some serious money for a few hours work in the early 80s.

I know an old boy who makes about $100K from the end of August to the end of January running around a salt lake in an airboat chasing waterfowl off. Spends about 4 hours a day doing it but it is 7 days a week during the migration. Makes a little on the side in photography...he is perfectly content doing it. Not really a living but if you don't live large it would be...

Actually we're in 5,210' of water. So we're drilling ~ 25,000' foot wells with 2,000' feet of payzone. Multizone zinc completions. You must be on a little platform rig or barge rig smelling like diesel and shitting and showering next to each other and fighting roaches of the dinner tables. I'll take our drillship, thanks. I don't think highly of ourselves, but we are the current and future of O&G. HAHAHA. If your working out here, you know what I'm talking about brother!

Back in the day commercial fishing ruled. Dudes would work a few weeks in the summer and make 100k.

Seriously, highway construction. If you build a house or a high rise building or an industrial facility eventually the job is done...there ain't ever been a road finished in the history of roads. Just buy a bunch of delapidated equipment and one backhoe that actually works, scar up the shoulder of the road, park all of that delapidated equipment on the shoulder, hire 20 dudes to walk around doing frick all and bill the DOT every month for years and years and years...

It ain't awesome but installing traffic signals is nearly untapped and the business is ALWAYS booming. Most electrical contractors are skeered of concrete and most civil contractors know nothing about electrical work. There are, in most areas, only a few contractors who will do the work...it is not competitive at all. If you build the control cabinets yourself it is incredibly lucrative...and you won't have any competition to speak of...

I recently became aware of a job I had no idea existed. There is at least one company that is used by mattress companies like Purple, etc to pick up mattresses that people get delivered but return or exchange before the trial period expires. The mattress companies can’t resell them as new and they don’t want to be bothered with getting in the used mattress game. Like Uber, you see a listing of pickups in a certain distance and you choose whether to pick the item up or not. You give the mattress a quick cleaning and then store it at home. People aren’t allowed to return damaged mattresses so the cleanup is usually a wipe down with some fabric cleaner and spraying some Lysol on it. The company helps you market the mattress and buyers come to you to purchase. A cut of the proceeds go to the company but you still get to keep a ridiculous amount of money considering how little effort you put in.
That’s great if you can cash flow several grand a month but I wasn’t expecting clean and store people’s piss / sweat soaked mattresses in my house as one of the answers here.

I know right. Some people are listing odd jobs and not “cool” jobs. One fella submitted doing manual labor at a stranger’s house unsolicited in hopes they would pay him when complete.
Which to me is akin to the guy who tries to wash your windows at a stop light.

It's really quite difficult to stay on top of trends in the technologies I work in so I'm a voracious reader of white papers and attend/speak at many technical conferences. My NDA status with my clients prevents me from discussing details of my work and much of it is defense related, so I can only give a high level overview.
This sounds like dream job for most. What is your background in, engineering if I was going to guess.
