Job ideas for someone who doesn't really want to work anymore

[Anonymous]

I fell into a career in the financial/insurance industry, and while it has been profitable and fairly flexible..I am completely burnt out. Completely. I've been looking at jobs and/or going back to school to change my career path, but nothing I've seen appeals to me. I know this is a tall order, but...any recommendations? Ideally a major where I could have the potential to work from home or create my own hours when I'm done? I don't have to make a large salary, but want to bring money into the household.

If you have the sales/recruiting chops for it, if you get in on the ground floor of a multi-level marketing scheme and recruit a ton of people under you, you can do pretty well. Doesn't work out for 99% of people but those that get in at the top of the pyramid do well.

Could you assemble artisanal hampers? Filled with craft beers, luxury cheeses, and dank pickles?

Someone on here was talking about being a speech pathologist (I think). It sounded like a pretty awesome job. Requires school but is flexible and decent money.

I know someone going into medical coding. It's a certification you can get and a lot of the work is from home.

The world's oldest profession? Kidding, kidding.

Does anything at all sound appealing to you? Do you have any hobbies that might point you to something? What about dog walking or part-time babysitting if you don't need something that pays really big bucks? Paying for more college when you don't want to work full-time might not be worth it.

I think an SLP is an awesome job, but it's not the right job for someone who "doesn't want to work". SLP's work hard and do really important things.

Home budget consulting. Just made it up, but put yourself out there as the Personal Suzy What's Her Name, and consult with individuals about how to get their most basic financial crap in order.

Be the one to answer: How can I afford private school on my budget?

Two thoughts. 1) go for the job that is what it is and that you leave behind when you punch out. Starbucks? Secretary?

2) go for a job where you feel genuine passion: a nonprofit with a cause you love, a job where you make a positive difference in lives.

If you are burned out, you need time to recharge and/or to do something you love.
