I need a job that pays six figures and doesn't consist mostly of touching a computer

Unfortunately most such jobs seem to involve doing evil or come with significant risks to life and limb

@scathach a lot of the ones that consist of touching a computer also involve doing evil tbh

@scathach have you considered defense contracting? the risk of life and limb is kinda overblown and people really overestimate the "evil" part

@sun @scathach everytime I go underway in a submarine or a surface vessel for sea-trials or initial operator training, it usually ends up with me charging 16 hours while doing maybe only an hour or two of actual work a day for a few weeks while i mostly drink tea and eat snacks and play eroge/galge on my steam deck and watch anime. honestly it's mostly the same experience in the sandbox except sometimes stuff blows up nearby. it's honestly a very mundane job, and that's just the times i'm out in the field. apart from that, it's just a normal office job.
