I always think it would be security guard of an extremely secure and remote facility. Something snowed in where it's warm inside and there is fast internet.

- asciimo 11y agoAmazing. That's almost exactly my fantasy scenario. Also: lighthouse keeper, park ranger.
- tbrock 11y agoLighthouse keeper! Brilliant. If monkey brains could do gigabit for me there I'd be in heaven.
- lazyant 11y agoI don't think there's any lighthouses left that require a keeper, at least in first world countries.
- bluejekyll 11y agoI think these are fantasies, it seems a little mean to burst them with reality.
- jacalata 11y agoThere's at least one left in the US that requires a keeper by law: http://in.mobile.reuters.com/article/idINN0741330520080526?irpc=932 http://in.mobile.reuters.com/article/idINN0741330520080526?i... Other than that, there are a bunch of lighthouses that have some sort of guesthouse in them and need someone to run it (usually decent pay but not a quiet job), or volunteer positions to maintain lighthouses around the Great Lakes and possibly elsewhere.
- tempestn 11y agoPretty soon truck driver might fit on that list (at least until they're no longer legally required to be present, as with lighthouse keepers).
- derefr 11y agoI've heard of a number of famous writers who got their first book done while doing a security-guard job.
- bliti 11y agoI did that for a while. Worked at some industrial park as security. A very productive time in my life. But it got really boring and dangerous when assigned the night shift.
