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 โ€” I'm rather asking for ways to find these/filter for these in a given field.

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.
