Amazing. That's almost exactly my fantasy scenario. Also: lighthouse keeper, park ranger.


Lighthouse keeper! Brilliant. If monkey brains could do gigabit for me there I'd be in heaven.


I don't think there's any lighthouses left that require a keeper, at least in first world countries.


I think these are fantasies, it seems a little mean to burst them with reality.


There's at least one left in the US that requires a keeper by law: http://in.mobile.reuters.com/article/idINN0741330520080526?i... Other than that, there are a bunch of lighthouses that have some sort of guesthouse in them and need someone to run it (usually decent pay but not a quiet job), or volunteer positions to maintain lighthouses around the Great Lakes and possibly elsewhere.


Pretty soon truck driver might fit on that list (at least until they're no longer legally required to be present, as with lighthouse keepers).
