Fireman. You don't get a lot of days off _in a row_, and you have to work 24-hour shifts. But since they actually pay you to sleep, you end up with a lot of days off.
Fireman also do a lot of trading around of shifts. My brother-in-law used to be able to take long vacations several times a year, because he'd work extra shifts and then get people to cover for him when he wanted the extra time.
That's all I can think of. Four or five years ago, you could easily have gotten $60K worth of contract web work in six months and be sure of more work waiting when you got back six months later. But those good times roll no more....
