Im at a point in my life when I need to find a new career and stay there till death or retirement. I have just finished an IT degree but really can not be bothered with programming or people ringing me who can not turn a PC on. So, OT, what would be an intersting or fun career I can persue.

Preferably more fun. Back it up with links and information on what is needed if possible. Something like ice road trucker or crab fisher (can you tell I watch the discovery channel?) but without the high death probability. Id rather retire than die.

What do you enjoy? Pursue that.

This really isn't something someone else can answer for you.

Gamestop employee. Seriously though, it depends on what you love. I'd say being a social or bio-medical psychiatrist is a fun job, but that's just me.

I enjoy drinking, football and music but I'll never get it to anything like that. And a professional drinker is just an alcoholic.

If you're the social type, maybe go for bartending? Doesn't pay too well, but some people would really like that environment.

Tried to join the RAF when I left school but couldnt because of my asthma :( I was thinking of joining the police, but apparently theyve split up and I couldnt do with the hassle as a police officer.

Take up Nursing. It is highly in-demand and you are sure to get a high-paying job. Don't take any course that relates to computer because jobs on the field of computers will most likely hit by recession

What country has RAF?? I tried signing up as well, but im currently not a permanent U.S. resident (green card). I only have permission to live and work so i cant join any branch wat so ever. Sucks. I even past the ASVAC test with a 71%. So i would've had the choice to join any branch i pleased.

Get ripped, then see how many people argue :P Seriously though, maybe try getting in at a more formal establishment? If you're in a bigger city, there's bound to be a load of restaurants with bars that rake in the dough.

I think Im done with customers to be honest. Whoever come up with the phrase 'the customer is always right' has never had to deal with the public.

How about an agent or manager for musicians and/or footballers? That's pretty much what I'm going for. Talent agent.

More power yes, but depending on the criminal you are you can be making a lot more than a crooked cop lol

Marine biologist.

I would like to do that but it would mean more years of uni and serving underage people. Unless by some strange bit of luck I could train on the job and make enough money to move out.

Any job that is fun will require some sort of training. Not many are entry level or willing to train you. Here's some ideas though:

Actor

Military

Police

Adventure Guide

Artist

Teacher

Photographer

Real Estate agent
