Game developer. I'm one now and I have 10 years of experience making great games. It's highly competitive but I could see myself getting it.
If I couldn't be one I'd them be a math teacher and apply game development to make algebra fun and interesting.
These trenches aren't going to dig themselves. Maybe you could do half a day's manual labour in the mornings, then the desk-based work in the afternoon?
That sounds downright luxurious. Under capitalism I allow my workers no such thing, they must toil physically for a full work day and if I catch a whiff of complaint or dissent, I threaten them with unemployment. Not only will the trenches not dig themselves but my profits don't come out of thin air. I need them to work extra hard so I can pay off my second sailing yacht (one stays in the carribean, the other in the med) this year and put a down payment on a third (south pacific).
It would be a fairly reasonable set-up I feel. Like, fair distribution of work.
