Ummm, magician? That would be fun... Don't know about the hours though.
A sciencey-job in a university? As a research assistant or whatever. The money is pretty good, the hours are very flexible, and the working conditions are great.
My DH is an academic, and we moved to this town for his job, so a lot of our friends are uni-based and this is what they do. Some do shifted work weeks, where they work Tues-Sat, some do really early days, like 7-3, some do four day 40 hour weeks, and some are part time. It seems to be very kid-friendly.
