This quote captures a rule I'd like to live my life, and by extension my career by. I'd like to have a job where every day looks different because you respond to whatever eventualities arise. What is a good way to find these?

I'm not asking for specific job positions (although feel free to suggest some) because I imagine such positions exist in most fields β€” I'm rather asking for ways to find these/filter for these in a given field.

This quote is full of shit though.

By this logic, the less predictable your daily life is, the more "alive" you are.

So for a lot of us, to be "alive" is to experience constant anxiety about what's about to happen.

...

Actually, that tracks.

Agreed. I find that the more I pre plan my day, the more stuff I can get done, like gym, work, weekend out with partner etc. And if I don’t, the day is just gonna be wasted on gaming or watching videos.
