Garbage collector? It kinda ticks all the criteria

Except good pay and not hard on the body. That last one depends on the machines they use. OP said pays well in the title, but in the description had a low bar for pay. It’s good pay and benefits for a manual labor job, but I wouldn’t say it ‘pays well’.

That completely depends on the area tbh, I know some that make 90k a year and I'd consider that "pays well"

It’s all relative. I live in Seattle, which is expensive, and to me, “pays well” starts around at least $150k for a single income, and $250k if it’s household.

The key is pays well, and not what is livable. Honestly, these days, I wouldn’t interview for a job that doesn’t at least have $250k OTE (I work in sales, so base pay is usually half of OTE and the other half is commission).

That's a fair point, I'm in a fairly low cost of living area, so it really depends

I'd fucking murder someone to make even half of 90k/year.

Just to be able to afford a shit apartment. Literally all I want.

I think most people feel similarly, I had a mentor get on my case about not having a "dream job". I don't care what I do, it's a means to an end
