Started in retail in high school and quickly jumped to management. Decided 80+ hour weeks and canceled vacations weren't for me.
I jumped ship to the aviation industry. I started on the ticket and gate counters to get my foot in the door and am now a flight attendant. This job is the definition of "flexible schedule". I am allowed to trade (unlimited) with any one of the other 14,000 flight attendants on staff, and often can trade with trips that are not assigned. There are no minimum or maximum work requirements. I can give away all my trips for 2 years if I can afford to pay enough people to take them, or I can work 6 days straight (legal max) every week of the year. Last year, I had 3 instances of 8+ days off without using vacation or losing pay, plus 2 more 10ish day blocks for my actual vacation.
I could never have a real job again.....
