Reading between the lines of the OP's requirements, it appears he wants to have a low stress job with lots of flexibility on working hours and generous perks.

Sadly he needs to prepare himself for disappointment. Manual jobs will certainly be low stress, but he won't get the ability to control his own destiny and he certainly won't get the enjoyment of "learning " anything on the job. Instead he will be bored out of his mind. He needs to remember why parents require bright but potentially lazy kids to work at McDonalds when they are young - in order for them to learn that they need to get a full education and find something more interesting to do.

The OP sounds as if what would suit him best is some form of consultancy role, preferably with far flung clients. Whilst consultancy isn't nirvana and it can be feast or famine, to a certain extent you can control the business flow, all assignments can be interestingly different and, with the right clients, you can travel.
