Professor.

You can pretty much do whatever you want, whenever you want, apart form the occasional class you have to teach, or conference you have to attend.

As long as your classes get taught, and your papers get published, no one really cares what you do or when you do it. That means you can eat every 2 hours, go to the gym when you feel like it, and go home and take a nap when you’re done.

I agree with this, to an extent. As my department chair likes to point out, you get to pick which 70 hours a week you get to work.

You do have much more control over your schedule than most jobs, but it is not total control and there are times in the semester, mainly beginning and end, that demand everything from you.

Now if you are tenured…golden.

70 hours, my ass. Other than perhaps someone in their first two years or those in hard sciences, I doubt professors work anything more than 40 hours a week. Print it.

Polititian. I dunno how it is in America, but here, in parliament, it’s about 6-8 hour days, 3 days a week.
I actually visited the parliament during a ‘Question Hour’ meeting, and most of the polititians there were just reading magazines, drinking coffee and talking to each other. That is literally what most of them do all day. Paper work and conferences and what-not I would imagine take up several hours but with 4 days a week to do whatever you want, plus having a nice office with a personal cooler, it sounds very comfortable. Add in a hot secretary and it’s almost evil.

Too bad Political Science is so boring.
