Independently wealthy, of course... but I'd do a lot of volunteer work, which I already do. I'd just have more time for that AND my interests/hobbies. I wouldn't mind being a semi-starving fine artist or writer or musician, but not too successful because then that brings pressure/obligation. I could see myself doing some kind of psychology/therapy/cult brainwashing/teaching related job, but that requires schedules & preparation... meh.
From a more realistic standpoint (hahahaaa!):
- a location independent job
- project based, so I decide how much/when/in what manner I work (bottom line - meet quality & deadlines, not show up at 8am, & work 8 hours M-F)...autonomy
- has some deadline/expectation so I don't procrastinate forever or drown in a flood of ideas.... very loose structure/boundaries/direction so I don't fall off a cliff or freeze up
- allowed to be very creative & have an exploratory work style, work mostly independently, lots of creative control, but some collaboration would be welcome (probably artistic in nature also, but "creative" is most important)
- variety, novelty, and lots of potential to keep morphing
- not too detailed or repetitive, few mundane tasks involved
- no real "boss", and little to no direct interaction with clients/customers, no schmoozing or butt-kissing
- work comes to me/is given to me, don't have to seek it out or be good at "networking" & all that hassle
- paid enough & fairly without hassle; I don't need a ton of money nor do I want its strings
