Long distance courier - pick up some stuff at point A, drive a couple hundred miles(or kilometres*1,6), drop that stuff at point B, drive back. Or maybe pick up some more stuff at point B(or C) and drive then to point A, or point D, etc. Or pick up a whole lot of stuff at point A, and then take some of it to point B, some to point C, D, E, T, C..
Not a whole lot of stress, but be wary of routine.. (or at least make sure you get to go to interesting places)

A courier is basically a person who delivers parcels from a to b, in the UK they are usually employed by a firm that works out the logistics of getting the parcel to the desired destination.

The majority that I know of deliver using medium to large sized vans though some may use smaller vans or even cars.

Admittedly in terms of stress levels, considerations would have to be made for competency of driving the vehicle and the response to other drivers! However it may be a great test of the law of attraction to intend a peaceful relaxed journey surrounded by wonderful competent drivers?!

One mindless, low stress job would to be the guy that stands outside promoting a place of business with a costume/sign on.

Mindless jobs are usually the most boring.

I think any jobs that your getting paid to do has at least some value. However, stress and levels there of can always vary. Security jobs can be stressless also I would add some mass production jobs to that list.

This way of life is not recommended because you owe it to everyone to make the most of yourself. If your not your doing the world a disservice

How do you become a long distance courier?

Not really too sure! I suppose you could approach parcel delivery firms directly or write them a letter explaining to them that you would be interested in doing the long distance driving for them.
Another thought I had was that depending on your feelings for driving a recovery truck or trailer there are companies that pay to transport vehicles, sometimes new cars/rental cars, also sometimes it is possible to drive the cars to the destination and have transport arranged for the return journey.

I think being a first-grade teacher is a little better, because a lot of kids come to kindergarten completely unprepared. They behave like little wild animals. By the first grade most of them more or less learn to follow the rules and how to behave in school and etc.

Too many people think these external things can make a difference in their life. Wake up guys its what's going on in your mind that makes things problematic. There are no problems out there.

My job right now is pretty mindless and low-stress. I'm working at my university library for the summer full-time (it's my work-study job during the year). It's great! It's quiet, I get to surf the Internet when I'm sitting at the desk like I am now, and I get to listen to music when I'm putting books away! (I get paid minimum wage.)

Not sure what it's like in other libraries, though, or how hard it is to get hired. (Of course, if you wanted to go this route, you would probably try to get work at a public library, since you're not a student.)
