What is the easiest permanent job?

[V8S]

Ok, someone I know is a private nanny. Sure it needs training and a good understanding of kids, but it seems like she has one of the easiest jobs. She looks after one pre-school kid while the parents are at work or busy; most of the time they're just playing or colouring or she's sitting drinking coffee and having a chat with other people while the child plays.

From the outside it looks like she's just having a great time and getting paid handsomely for it.

So what other piss-easy jobs are there?

THAT!!


Yes being a nanny is possibly quite easy for 99% of the time..... but for 1% of the time I am sure they earn their money and then some!

..its a quiet life.

Not much chance of a kick-off happening at the desk, average customer age 102.

Mate of mine works nights in a home for the mentally erm... is is appropriate to say retarded? Disabled? anyway obviously they sleep at night but have to have 24 hour care so he does 12 hour shifts of basically nothing. Sounds piss easy although I supose there is some piss to clean up.

You don't have kids, do you? After a day on my own with miniBill I'm knackered and in dire need of adult conversation.

I nominate our friend the postman.

My brother in law is a posty. If you can get up early and walk then its an easy enough job. Me I like a sleep, getting up at 4am in the dark, wet and cold isn't my idea of fun. Now a posty in somewhere like Australia might be a bit better.

1. That might be easy but it sounds like a horrendously boring job as well.

2. Kids are like farts - you love your own... but other people's are like mustard gas.

I know there's 1 or 2 on here, but....Tube driver?
£4million a year, 8 weeks paid holiday, 12 weeks paid sick (mandatory!)leave, and a week or two of strike action. Oh, and don't they get to go home or something if their mates don't turn up to "help" them drive a train?!

[daver777]

teacher. loads of holidays and free elbow pads for your jumpers. you dont even need to be clever or qualified. just do a 'teacher training' course which takes about 2 minutes, and involves challenging topics like 'Blackboard Strategy' and the 'Report-o-matic' machine which scans the register and generates some guff for the parents to read.

Well, she seems to have a very good social life seeing friends and other nannies, goes out on trips, sits out in the sun and generally leads a relaxed life. I'm sure there are down sides, but from the outside she's got a pretty easy day's work.

CornishGirl Helen on here is a nanny - maybe she can shed some light.

[daver777]

oh, and you also get at least two 'playtimes' per day. pfffft.

Agree with that.

When I occasionally take a day off and look after my 18 month old daughter it's far harder than the normal day job. No let up from 6.00am when she wakes to 7.00pm when she goes to bed. Entertain, prepare and feed three healthy meals, change, dress, undress, wash, clear up. It's fecking exhausting. Doing that with 2 or 3 of someone else's kids for 25 - 30k a year. fk that.

It's far easier running a £25m construction project with 150 men on site.

Delivery driver has to be easiest job surely?

You drive through some of these villages and wonder what sort of crime is going on in that village.
