Are there any good jobs out there where you can show up, do your work, and then just leave when it's done?

The arbitrary 8.5-9 hour workday drives me nuts, because a lot of the time, I really only have 3 or 4 hours worth of work to do. I generally work quickly and I value my time. Can I make a decent living doing something that gives me this kind of flexibility?

Get into a trade, and start your own business maybe? Like carpentry etc. You gotta learn and it's a life long process since every job is different, but I've gained some much needed autonomy this way. The job is done when you are done, and that's when you get paid.
It's not for everyone, and takes some capitol and experience so that's a fairly large barrier to do this, but after 16 years I've finally gotten some much needed freedom.
2nding the trades. Become an electrician and join the union. Once you get your journeyman's license you work exactly the shift it says on the call you took from the job board, and while you may be offered overtime there's no shame in not taking it.
