Programming

In my location, there are a lot of evening and night time jobs that are pretty chill and pay rather well, because most people are "normal" and don't like to do them.

Most of them revolve around just sitting in a room and checking whether everything is fine once an hour. I'm speaking from experience, having done those kind of jobs on the side.

Best part for me was that it felt like 8-10h of free time where I played games and watched youtube, while getting paid.

I don't really know what search term to give you to find them, but I just scroll the local job market and find open positions all the time.

Software jobs in my area on the other hand are very annoying and require you to jump through 3 interviews and 2 tests while applying, be up early, on time, in office, regulated breaks instead of when I need them, pretend to be at 100% productivity all the time etc. for a barely 30% higher pay... not worth the effort at all.

Seeing how you're considering factory jobs, have you considered trucking?

It's fairly easy, quick and cheap to get a license. You'll be your own boss. You don't have to deal with annoying colleugues, just the regular calls from your planners telling you to do their imposisble schulde and you tell them you'll do what you can and the rest can wait till tomorrow. The job is often much easier and less tedious than factory work, because you can just listen to music, podcasts, audiobooks. And if you have to wait, or sleep over, you can bring out your laptop or your switch and do some gaming, coding, netflix, whatever.

Most trucking jobs require you to get up early,but some don't. There are overnight trailer switch jobs. There are supermarkets and fresh-food stores that need over night stocking. Those are just some examples from the top of my head.

I did supply for a bakery chain. 16.00 till 22.00 and 6 days a week. The salary wasn't getting me rich, but it payed the bills.

I mean, you can try freelancing but it's not really a nice environment

There are a ton of organizations that run their own IT that aren't selling or distributing software that can be overlooked for a career building and maintaining software. Banking, sports leagues, utilities, logistics, grocery & restaurant chains, etc. A lot of small businesses also can't do it themselves or hire a full time staff for it so they hire it out to a part time contractor that covers multiple smaller orgs in an area. My first job that included programming was 1/3 software dev, 1/3 IT support, and 1/3 running a print shop in a warehouse.
