You were? Then my easy job may be appealing: Software QA. There are high points and low points. Sometimes there is a lot of work to be done and you have to work very hard and be efficient. But on the other hand, once you finish your test pass there is literally nothing to do until the software developers complete a new version for you to test. If you can code, look into automated testing too. You may have to write some scripts, but then you run them and sit back to wait for the results.
I worked at a large company on a project that began to fizzle out. It got to a very polished level and was released, but then the project was over. We were good at our job so they weren't about to fire us.. They started looking around and saw that a very similar project was going to commence in 6-7 weeks so our team was the obvious choice. I came into work for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for nearly two months, and since my team was "in limbo" we just read stuff on the Internet or sometimes brought in books.
