Month Long Vacation Career Options

Hello, are there any career paths for Americans where a month long vacation is acceptable a la the French? 4/5 points for not during the summer months. 1/5 points for summer months. I'm post BB IBD pre-MBA. Especially preferable is doing this in one's 30's!

Thanks

True. But you should also consider:

House painter Mall security guard Doctor's office receptionist Waiter Masseuse SAT tutor Call center representative (but only if third shift; it's just not gonna happen if you're day shift) North Dakota farmer (feel free to take the whole month of January off!) Strip club talent scout (but you'll never want to take a vacation)

But to be honest, the real secret to getting a month-long vacation is to choose a job that doesn't come with a bonus. Then, when you're ready to take a vacation, you quit. Find a new job when you're done. Simple.

You think OWS can just take off a month from changing the world? You think this is a GAME?! They are making real change and maybe you are just too blind to see it..

This to all my hatin' folks seeing me getting guac right now..
 

Here's one as I'm in this current role right now. Its called a Financial Advisor at any wire-house.

Your clients are your book of business and your firm is just an operations house. Build it nicely and right with a good partner, managed money and the use of recurring revenue and their you go.

A month long vacation to Tahiti.
