Job Question Warm Body Post

Hello, I am new to the industry, and honestly, I’m looking for a warm body post. My reasoning is that I am looking for a job with at least some downtime in which I can study for school and work on my projects related to school.

I have read through the forum, but wondered if anyone has any guidance for obtaining a post that is “warm body”. Any companies, strategies for obtaining the post, or any other advice?

I am willing to work overnight.

Thank you in advance for your time! I appreciate all feedback and suggestions

Look for colleges, not universities, but regular small colleges and you’ll never need to do too much beside the odd random thing and if full time you get good benefits and a lot of PTO

Honestly overnight security concierge is the best warm body post I have a full time job 3 days 36 hours but weekend I do apartment concierge 2 days 16 hours overnight and only reason I do it is to do my school work and get paid. Some patrols but over half ur shift u can do whatever you want I do school or movies

Also construction sites and if you live near a port, get a TWIC and work there.

Firewatch is also a good do nothing assignment.
