I would recommend being a firefighter.  I retired out of Los Angeles after 26 years.  Work 10 (24 hour) days per month.  That leaves 20 days per month to do whatever.  We also had a really great "Firehouse Five Plus Two" Dixieland Band.  Pay is great, Benifits are hard to beat and retirement is to one of the best.
