Professions for those who do not like to strain.

If you are tired, burnt out, ambitions are alien to you and workaholism is unusual, but you still want to eat - catch our selection of "lazy" professions.

We will not talk about part-time jobs (tutor, survey participant, promoter, extras actor, tramidator - a professional "waiter" in lines) and exotic vacancies that are published every 10 years for the sake of PR for the employer (hotel / water slide tester, watchman on the island, psychologist for pets).

We will limit ourselves to options from resources for finding a job. (However, no one bothers you to find profile communities in social networks and telegram channels or look at vacancies directly on employers' websites.)
