City or County Worker

These are better jobs that you think. The best type of job to have with the city or county is "contract administrator". It has a very thick description and very serious sounding responsibilities, but it's basically a "make everyone happy" job.

Contract administrators oversee contracts. Usually these contracts are given to the YMCA - for youth programs, or Catholic Charities - for homeless outreach, etc. Generally, the contract administrator makes sure all the required forms are filled out, people are checking in as necessary - and the facilities that get the money are up to compliance with safety and procedure, etc.

It's very simple and the job can be done (even in a big department) in about 8 hours per week. Of the contract administrators I know, most of them spend a large part of the day doing personal things with family and friends, playing Solitaire on their computers, or browsing the internet.

Hell of a job, I'd say!
