Everyone has had at least one day where they really wanted to quit their job, abandon their home and family, push their car off a bridge, strip nude, douse the clothes in gasoline and toss a match over their shoulder as they walk confidently out of their own life. It's perfectly natural to want to run away and join the circus... except that, at least in the United States, there aren't really circusses anymore.

Times are changing, but that spark of panicky escape-fear still smolders in the reptile brains of men and women, with no sign of extinguishing soon. We might not be able to run away and join the circus, but what other jobs/lives exist to run away to? Realistic bug-out plan or total fantasy, what occupations do y'all envision escaping to when your boring regular jobs are just too boring/regular? Bonus points for unskilled/learn-as-you-work jobs, they're rarer than a pot o' gold!

Terrible starting example: blackjack dealer. Everyone I've ever talked to about working at a casino says it stinks, and every gambling town I've ever been to seemed to be in competition for "most depressing/worst rents on earth". But stinky depression wasn't enough to keep the circus from being the old cliche, so who knows? Perhaps the fast-paced life of bilking old people between meals of cold buffet leftovers is the freedom you've been dreaming of!

Apparently anybody can still join the French Foreign Legion, but the only way to sign up is in person.

Oh and do four pull-ups. I'm out then.

Is cryogenic freezing to reach the distant future a real thing or there just industrial parks full of frozen head meat waiting to get thrown out?
