high jinx - I find your question quite an appropriate one. With so many college students on this board, you would think someone would have asked earlier for good-paying jobs that allow you to slack off, where one can spend their days studying rather than dealing with the masses.
The first thing that pops into my mind was the night security guards at my old company. The day ones have to work as receptionists, but the night guys... they basically have nothing to worry about. Sit & read, relax, chat with friends... and since it was for a parmaceutical company, they were paid better than other companies - around $40,000/year. Not a high-paying career, but definitely something one could live off of. I imagine the supervisors would make considerably more.
Security guard is my vote.
next in line comes receptionist. But you have to pick and choose. Sometimes receptionists are VERY BUSY. Still, you can find a company here and there that is quite simply a sweet job. I've worked for companies where there were basically no phone calls or visitors - maybe two an hour - but I was still paid $15/hour. The thing with that is, you have to look professional and be perky the minute anyone steps through that door. And you might just feel isolated. Oh, it was a wonderful life working there. I read so many books, such a good quality of life.
Sometimes one just gets to a point in their life where there is too much drama in the world around them - so they need someplace relaxing to work, something stable. where you don't have to worry about anything other than depositing that paycheck at the end of the week.
Good luck!
