Not a common job in DC, but it seems like traders work intense hours but leave by 5pm and can make crazy money.

I know a law parter at a big firm who practices in an extremely specialized nonlitigation niche. He seems to spend a lot of time golfing and leaves at 6 most nights.

I know several examples of moderate versions of your question -- good money and good hours and minimal to no travel -- people who work about 9-6 (which I consider family friendly hours) and make in the 300k's. They are all VPs or SVPs at places like Discovery, Capital One, defense contractor firms. When I made that kind of money working at a law firm, I worked crazy hours and was losing hair to stress ... Not worth it.

To the in house lawyer, poster 22:22, where do you work? Are there other positions at your company with similar situations? Signed, an envious (funny, my autocorrect tried to change "envious" to "anxious", which is apt) firm attorney

Sales. Seriously good money, I was making $100,000 by the age of 28 with a psych degree. Never worked even 40 hours but it's a tough job mentally.
Very flexible schedule and worked form home a lot of days. Had time to do grocery store or shopping trips whenever I wanted (which is why I wasn't making more)

I know that's kind of chump change, but I get up around 1 or 2pm, then show up around 3 or so, in a place where I'm supposed to be at work at 9am. That is worth a lot to me in itself.
`They' don't like it, but they've been putting up with it for many years, so who cares. Once I get there I check my email, read the news, go to the bathroom a few times, and when I'm done I go have a few beers. Once in a while I will actually do something useful, but not that often. On the downside, I'll never be rich, so I don't recommend it. It's a path for the unambitious.
Do you work for the government? Know several people who do what you do for a little less than what you make but it's not bad considering they were near the bottom of their class and don't do much but chit-chat and fool around most of the time. But they have to punch the invisible clock to pretend like they actually work. So you're doing much better than they are.

Males generally earn less than female porn stars, and the average male gets around $300 – $400 per scene. Beginner usually get between $100 to $200 per scene. The average male porn star earns around $40,000 per year, although some of the more popular and in demand male porn stars can earn up to $100,000 per year.

Yes, but you're gross and tainted after that. And that goes for men too. That's not worth any amount of money.
And don't get me wrong, I like watching the occasional nicely made porn scene with pretty people in it. What I'm talking about is the nasty "Seymore Butts" type of shit that is degrading to both genders.
