Get into a trade, and start your own business maybe? Like carpentry etc. You gotta learn and it's a life long process since every job is different, but I've gained some much needed autonomy this way. The job is done when you are done, and that's when you get paid.
It's not for everyone, and takes some capitol and experience so that's a fairly large barrier to do this, but after 16 years I've finally gotten some much needed freedom.
"Is there a job that will pay me a full wage without requiring me to sit at a desk all day because I'm 'supposed to'?"
"Yeah, just invest 16 years in learning a trade and building a business, you can totally work 4 hour days."
