Laziest jobs.

[Frankeh]

Ok, we had the surprising salaries thread and it went well.

I'm thinking maybe there's jobs out there for real lazy buggers.
The requirements are "Enough to get by" (£18K+) and must involve little to no real work.

I'm going to nominate night shift security guard.

This doesn't really fit the criteria, but harvest work is much less hard work than most people think.

Yes you can sometimes do silly hours, but usually it's 10-12 hrs sitting on your arse listening to the radio. I didn't even wear shoes half the time.

A prize for the most obvious answer?

I hear most people in recruitment are lazy twunts!;)

I cannot imagine that Brown's army of Five-a-Day Diversity Officers (and the like) are working themselves to death. More sat on their fat arses at our expense, paid to vote Labour.

Cannot fathom why TfL needs 100+ employees on £100k+ beyond the usual leftie gerrymandering, either. I imagine they sit around playing with their testicles all day.

Life guard at a council swimming pool. They have to swap positions 3 or 4 times an hour to keep themselves awake.

Used to be one, and agree, although salary even for senior members would probably struggle to hit 18k.

I see what you did there, very good!

Some account management style sales jobs are very easy. Mine is for instance. Earn a fair whack more than that figure having been there 7 months. And a minimum of 8k more maximum of 10k (basic) over the next 18 months.

I have to make a fair few calls to my clients, fair enough, but that isn't difficult, 40 hours a week, 27 days holiday etc

Quite enjoyable too as if you're pretty good at it, the sales volume can be easy to come by. Okgo, you've posted on a few of my sales threads, what sales are you in?

Meditation class teacher. If you find it hard work, you're doing something wrong.

I have done a fair few sectors in my short time (22) but currently its online and print advertising for a large publishing house. It'll never make me a millionaire, but its a good place to be knowing that regardless (as long as I don't get the boot) I will have a 30k basic with 50k OTE at 25. Leaves me the rest of my 20's to find some bigger money in town

And yes its fairly easy for what it is, IMO. Compaired with estate agency for instance.

Thank you! I now have a wonderful image of you, red faced, screaming at a stress bunny to calm down.

"Loving your work."

There was a great Trigger Happy TV sketch with Dom Joly running a meditation class. Can't find it on YouTube, though.

I have a mental image of a packed office of bored phone operators. One phone goes off in the middle of the office. Mad scramble as 20 operators go for the phone.
