40 and looking for a new career, money not really an object

The biggest problem I have that I haven't found a solution for yet is having someone to help me shave my taint. Maybe you could start a new profession if there are enough people out there like me.

have worked to hard till now, looking for something with no over time, low stress, little interacting with customers and that pays ~35k+ and is either kinda fun/interesting or super damn easy

so far, in order of appeal:

Park Ranger: outside!/ low pay,too many people in som cases

Brewer: beer! low pay, grueling

Radiological Tech: decent pay!/ not fun

If money isn’t an object why are you asking? Just do what you want. Since money isn’t an object.

Or is it?

Anyway, you sound like a nightmare employee. Lazy and dumb.

I need a job, but can meet my needs on a in. wage jobs.

Not lazy or dumb, at the top of my current field and ready for a change.

* min. wage job

All minimum wage jobs are easy unless they're filled by illegal immigrants. Do you have at least $2M in retirement savings? If so, have fun at your next McJob.

$2 million for retirement is something they tell scared sheep too scared to live.

the best use of my life isn't saving up a bunch of money to pay a health care provider when i'm 85.

A simple "no" would have sufficed.

lol, yeah that was a bit harsh.

just so used to the knee jerk reaction of people thinking you have to work till your 70 unless you have millions in the bank. Most people don't and they are fine. And the people that do are only marginally better of. Being old is going to suck no matter how much money you have. Being young doesn't have to.

What's your current job?

VFX (Star Wars, Avengers etc)

not looking to get into anything related, spent enough time staring at a computer on a deadline

have thought about freelance graphic design for indie book covers, but would probably need to supplement that with something else

I'll take your word that you aren't dumb. But the entire premise of your post is how lazy you are.

And since you can't seem to figure out how to make $35k a year, you seem sort of dumb. Maybe others see it differently.

I make ~200k currently so not worried about figuring out how to make 35k, just looking at the options with that as a floor.

I routinely work 60-80 hours a week, peaking at 100. If wanting to do less than that seems lazy then yeah, I'm lazy.

Why would i want a super hard job for $35k when plenty of super easy ones exist?

Like I said, i want something easy or interesting. that's not lazy, that just common sense.

Ok. So to sum up, you work about an average amount of time and make somewhere between a decent amount and not much depending on where you live, and you want to do something much easier but don't possess the capacity to define what that looks like except it needs to pay $35k. And you aren't dumb or lazy. Sounds reasonable.

I think you'll find easy $35k jobs delightful.

yawn.

at least try, troll.

if you think 60-80 is an average work week then enjoy wasting your life. The more time you are tied up at your job the better, considering your personality. You seem to have a tenuous grasp on math and reading comprehension, so I can see why you were easily confused by my post since it contained both numbers AND words.

Well done on figuring out your priorities OP

I work as a cleaner 4am to 10 am.. sometimes midday.

Average 700 aud a wk and have all day to do whatevrr the fuk i want.

The work can b mindnumbing sometimes but i live comfortably and have time to myself

seems far preferable than wasting away your life on 80 hr weeks like ChadBrad thinks is normal. People like that just don't value time with themselves it seems. I guess I wouldn't either if I were them, considering the company.

Enjoy your pursuit of mediocrity. I’m sure you’ll be stimulated by the types of people you meet while making $35k a year for the next 25 years.

PS - if you have to work a menial job money absolutely is an object. So enjoy the stress you think won’t be present.

I truly hope you figure it out some day.
