I'd much rather have a job that is engaging and interesting. I've had jobs like what you seem to want and they were terribly boring.
I do have an old high school friend who ended up being an accountant in a town in New Mexico. He works his tail off doing peoples and business taxes in February, March, April, and then puts in about 10-15 hours a week the rest of the year. He's into hiking, camping and other outdoorsy stuff, so he just puts a sign in his office window saying "Back next week" or something like that, and heads for the mountains.
My Dad had a great job when he was in college. It was forty yerars ago, and he was a night elevator operator in a high rise office building. This was before self service, press the button elevators. Every elevator had to have a driver. He worked from 6pm to 1am when they locked down the building, and would sometimes only make a couple of dozen trips up and down all night. He kind of thought he was getting paid to study and write letters.
