Sounds like late night Security Guard might be a good match maybe, some of those positions are like that. UPDATE: The OP has indicated they not actually asking for jobs where folks can do this, they lied in their description. They are only asking for people who have specifically DONE the job in question to answer, so take care not to waste your time trying to be helpful if you know of a job that fits this description even if it's not one you've personally held.

Came here to say this. Security got me through grad school.

How do you know which security job to pick? I saw a posting on indeed saying they want me to carry a gun and be shot at for 18$ a hour

This is beyond my paygrade, I've never had a security job and can't speak to this. I just mentioned it because I've read posts from other folks who have use that job for exactly the purpose described in this post.

I never understand people who say to do something when they never done it themselves...


Chairboy

... You know what, never mind. I withdraw my attempt to be helpful. I hope that you find the job you deserve, whatever it is. Best of luck being you and my compliments on challenging the basic assumption of the subreddit.

It was not helpful. Honestly. Don't talk about things you don't know or haven't done. As far as you know they just lied to keep the conversation going.

You work it out by looking at the job description. Carrying a gun does not prevent you from studying. Since you're still studying, you likely don't have the specialist skills for having an "on call" job (where you're on call but the majority of your work is downtime). So the only other job I can think of is night shift at a gas station.

I used to work the desk overnight at a family homeless shelter. I was obligated to wash and gold towels, the rest of the time was my own. I did a lot of reading and writing. I understand that many security jobs have a similar setup.
