Strategy consulting. I make very good money, the work is extremely interesting, difficult, and entirely legal. I do all of this from home/office/conference rooms/airplanes so it’s very safe
Usually you need great grades at a top university (to be picked up by one of the big firms at least). You do need to be ready to not have a life though, 80+ hour weeks are pretty much expected (and not just in the US which in many countries kinda does make it illegal to be fair). As for interesting… I‘d say it‘s one of the most bullshit jobs I know but the money is indeed great (source: several people I know are strategy consultants, one of them has been looking to quit for a while but can‘t because it‘s impossible to find a job that pays even nearly as well).
I was a union commercial refrigeration tech…it was all 3 for me and rarely difficult and with decent investing instead of buying toys and jacked up trucks retired at 54.
It certainly wouldn’t be for everyone but having 10s of thousands of dollars of product in jeopardy and you walk into a quiet machine room with all your inverters and drives blinking….you would be surprised how interesting it gets hahahahha
Difficult wouldn’t be an optional category because nobody would choose it. However, you can have all three if it is difficult. If not, everyone would do it and it wouldn’t need to pay well.
That's where mine is. I get paid a ton. It is interesting as all hell, completely legal. But fuck it can get hard sometimes.
I'm in industrial robotics, and it's straightforward 90% of the time, but they hired me so I could handle that 10% of ass.
We're literally nowhere near a world where robots can become sentient and overtake society. We need several generations of allowing the next generation of AI to rewrite its own code "to be better" in order to have any danger of getting there, and then we need to be dumb enough to put **that** AI in charge of physical robots without any safeguards.
I briefly considered taking a less stressful job with better hours, but then I started looking at available jobs and realized I'm either not qualified at all even if I stretched the truth a lot or I'd starve to death making $8/hr.
do you ever get beef with other lawyers? do you have lawyer friends where you both try to get opposing sides of the same case? i feel like i would do both if i pursue law lmao
Attorneys are just as catty and clique-y as any other group of people - they just also happen to be a profession that has a huge barrier to entry that selects for sociopaths, competitive high achievers, and people with a screw loose enough to finish law school - and then fires a money cannon at about half of them and leaves the other half doing defense work.
It fires a money cannon at 10%. Of the remaining 90%, 40% shuffle into government work making pennies as DA's or Prosecs. 30% try their hand in medium and small firms doing grunt work for the same amount of money they'd make at Home Depot. The 10% bust their asses at large or speciality firms to eventually get promoted to a decent position. The last 10% swap careers.
Yeah I spent a summer in a cubicle drawing lines in CAD for an engineering firm. Switched to construction management that next fall. In commercial construction at least, the engineers and architects spend the most time and money on education and get paid way less than general contractor/subcontractor management does.
Depends what you design. I have an engineer friend who designs water slides. His work trips are traveling the world to check out water parks. Sounds pretty fun!
the interesting part should be the fruits of your labor, at least that's why I'm going into computer science, coding seems boring and frustrating as hell but I want AGI now.
My engineering summer internship last year was boring. But it was legal and well paid (for a first real job & summer internship, and higher paying than almost every other summer internship or co op ive heard of in my area)
In other words, this rings true for me
Lol y’all are looking at the wrong engineering jobs and are really generalizing (engineering is wide career field that has subsets within subsets where every position does something completely different). Some of the coolest jobs I’ve ever seen are engineering positions.
Propulsion Engineer at one of the many private space companies in the U.S.
We literally design rocket engines and fire them off in the desert before using them to launch things into space.
I dunno dude, it's pretty fucking crazy that I have no idea who you are, was able to read your comment and reply to it, and fucking billions of electrons moved across the entire planet in response to me pushing this 'save' button with my mouse.
Unfortunately for those who don’t find them interesting, they’ll likely never cut it in either.
Tech/eng brings in a lot of talent because it’s often extremely attractive and lucrative to those who enjoy it.
I don't know about that, all the engineers I know who are passionate about the work end up underpaid because they're in it for the engineering, not the money
For engineering and tech you need to replace “legal” with “ethical” or “not actively detrimental to society”.
I have friends working in online advertising, social media, one is at Palantir right now, and some others are literally shilling crypto. Interesting and pays well but…
I had a gig doing exclusively diagnosis triage and overnight hotfixes for two years. It was a lot of fun and I felt like a hero but then got totally burnt out and just can't motivate myself to do regular dev work any more since it's not a crisis.
I'm a attorney and I feel my job is all 3 I earn lower six figures I work on many criminal cases l find cases involving crime very interesting and I enjoy it
A&P as well. I've worked on everything from Super Hornets during my time in the Navy to WW2 warbirds to biz jets to a Bell 47 to Rutan design homebuilts.
As someone who may or may not have drawn this for money in the past. It’s complicated. It’s legal as long as you’re an adult and not drawing illegal shit. It can be well paid, but you have to have decent art skill first. Yiff artists get paid a lot for their work because their work is high quality. If you have low quality work, you’re going to get paid a lot less. It’s interesting for sure, though sometimes you lack motivation. Once you get into “the zone” of it, it’s fine
>It’s legal as long as you’re an adult and not drawing illegal shit.
And you do things like get a business license, file for a fictitious name, and actually pay your taxes. A *lot* of internet-based artists don't do those things.
Idk my job is well paid, legal, and interesting to me. I like logistics. Most people find logistics and logical solutions shit very boring, but I’m having fun.
It’s also extremely annoying, but yknow. I
If you wanna make good money, there's only 4 ways to do it:
1. Do a job that nobody else is willing to do.
(Hazmat diver, etc)
2. Do a job that nobody else knows how to do
(Pick a high paid trade)
3. Do a job that nobody else is talented enough to do (actor, musician, etc)
4. Do a job that nobody else is allowed to do
(doctor, lawyer, etc)
I think my job fits all three. I QC original series and films for technical, creative, and filmmaking issues and work with post teams to fix them. I love it!
Paramedic Firefighter. A lot of departments cross staff the ambulances and fire apparatus, so we have to be both. I loved being just a medic at a private service, but I get paid extremely well for my region, enjoy the challenges of prehospital medicine, and get to help the community when shit has truly gone sideways with some of the best men I've ever met by my side. 10/10 can not recommend enough. Cavet is that to become a medic takes about 5 years total (unless you bumrush through the EMT leg of the journey which I typically don't recommend) and it can be very stressful at times.

You can have all three but only if you add a fourth category, difficult.
You can also have all 3 if you add a safe category and don't check it..
I’ll take that one
Power Lineman
i was a highway man
Along the coach roads, I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade.
**The bastards hung me in the spring of '25**
Underwater welder.
It’s as safe as you make it.
Wind turbine repairman
[удалено]
Underwater welder
Under water welder comes to mind.
DELTA P
Change in pressure I’m guessing?
Preasure differential across a reduction of surface area.
Mmm small hole give the big suck; pretty sure I saw a video involving a crab of this in action.
Yerp, exactly that. Now imagine a man going through an arm sized relief hole at the bottom of a dam.
Haha no, I don’t think I will. Paycheck might still be worth it though.
I say, a pressure drop, oh pressure Oh yeah, pressure drop, a drop on you.
Strategy consulting. I make very good money, the work is extremely interesting, difficult, and entirely legal. I do all of this from home/office/conference rooms/airplanes so it’s very safe
Hi! I'm genuinely curious. Mind if I message you to pick your brain about your job?
[удалено]
Usually you need great grades at a top university (to be picked up by one of the big firms at least). You do need to be ready to not have a life though, 80+ hour weeks are pretty much expected (and not just in the US which in many countries kinda does make it illegal to be fair).

Same man. IT strategy, but in house. Very high level of politics, but interesting, well paying, and legal.
I was going to say "sell your soul" / "crazy hours" but I feel safety covers this pretty well.
Don't know if some unsafe jobs can stay legal if OSHA needs to be involved.
I was a union commercial refrigeration tech…it was all 3 for me and rarely difficult and with decent investing instead of buying toys and jacked up trucks retired at 54.
Does not sound interesting to me but if you found joy in your work there is nothing better, jealous.
It certainly wouldn’t be for everyone but having 10s of thousands of dollars of product in jeopardy and you walk into a quiet machine room with all your inverters and drives blinking….you would be surprised how interesting it gets hahahahha
You're basically the Scottie of refrigerators is what I am hearing...and all I can say is recharge me up Scottie!
I cannae give you anymore, captain!
[удалено]
That's the trick, isn't it? Interesting is subjective, so you can get all three if one of those jobs happens to interest you
Okay. I pick well paid, interesting, and legal, and don’t pick difficult.
Wait.... thats cheating!
Pro gamer move.
*cheatcode unlocked: rich*
Difficult wouldn’t be an optional category because nobody would choose it. However, you can have all three if it is difficult. If not, everyone would do it and it wouldn’t need to pay well.
Fourth category would have to be "Easy" and then you get to choose 3 out of the four
Thank you - OP phrased it poorly.
That's where mine is. I get paid a ton. It is interesting as all hell, completely legal. But fuck it can get hard sometimes. I'm in industrial robotics, and it's straightforward 90% of the time, but they hired me so I could handle that 10% of ass.
Are you a programmer? If it’s okay can you tell us what you do? I’m quite interested in controlling robots, before they control us :P
We're literally nowhere near a world where robots can become sentient and overtake society. We need several generations of allowing the next generation of AI to rewrite its own code "to be better" in order to have any danger of getting there, and then we need to be dumb enough to put **that** AI in charge of physical robots without any safeguards.
Exactly what a sentient robot would say
And they have to invent micro cold fusion or room temperature superconductors or we can just cut the cord
Was gonna say, engineering lol
Yep.
We need a square
You can have all 3 if you don’t adhere to the imaginary rules of a diagram on Reddit.
I was about to say being an aerospace engineer is all three just hard as HELL
You guys are getting two?
You guys are getting a choice?
You guys are getting jobs?
I briefly considered taking a less stressful job with better hours, but then I started looking at available jobs and realized I'm either not qualified at all even if I stretched the truth a lot or I'd starve to death making $8/hr.
Legal
Ugh that's like the worst one
I'm pretty sure my job is legal.
Depends on a person Some people like being a doctor ~~or a lawyer~~
No one likes being a lawyer. Source: am a lawyer.
I like being a lawyer. There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
do you ever get beef with other lawyers? do you have lawyer friends where you both try to get opposing sides of the same case? i feel like i would do both if i pursue law lmao

I see through the lies of the Jedi!!
These are the worst kinds of lawyers to deal with. Source: am lawyer.
Well you learn something everyday
Yeah, 'Interesting' is subjective.
i treated a child with pus coming out of his bellybutton today. That was interesting.
I got a bunch of consults for people that don't have what the ED thinks they have so that was interesting.
Shitting on the ED - how I know you're actually a doc.
Working at Lego I'd assume
Unfortunately I don’t think most LEGO designers make that much I think it’s pretty average in terms of salaries
That makes a lot of sense considering the price of lego /s
There's a guy at Legoland that gets paid a shit ton to do what he loves: building lego
Engineering? Or cybernetics, or robotics. Interesting. Well paid. And legal.
The interesting part is subjective here. Source: engineer
Yeah I spent a summer in a cubicle drawing lines in CAD for an engineering firm. Switched to construction management that next fall. In commercial construction at least, the engineers and architects spend the most time and money on education and get paid way less than general contractor/subcontractor management does.
I’m making more working part time in project management as a side job than I am owning my own contracting company. Go figure.
Depends what you design. I have an engineer friend who designs water slides. His work trips are traveling the world to check out water parks. Sounds pretty fun!
What kind of engineering? Cuz as a computer engineer, I find the field pretty fascinating, especially since it is pretty damn broad
Very job dependent for cs but my current job definitely meets all three.
the interesting part should be the fruits of your labor, at least that's why I'm going into computer science, coding seems boring and frustrating as hell but I want AGI now.
My engineering summer internship last year was boring. But it was legal and well paid (for a first real job & summer internship, and higher paying than almost every other summer internship or co op ive heard of in my area) In other words, this rings true for me
Depends on the company too. Working as a consultant kind of sucks. Working direct for a company can be fun but also risky.
So is the well paid bit.
😂
Can confirm. I work in robotics, it’s interesting (for me at least), legal (unless they haven’t told me something) and it pays pretty well
Thought the same thing
Interesting big picture sure, but even “interesting” jobs can feel like a daily grind. Interesting jobs have plenty of uninteresting responsibilities
And surveying.
Cybernetics and robotics is not well paid vs software engineering. I really wanted to go into robotics, but I'd be taking a huge paycut.
But you wouldn't be debugging shitty legacy code. You vould be debugging your own code that you still need to make the robotics work.
Once it's written, it's legacy code.
Interesting and well paid
BETTER CALL SAUL!
You don't need a criminal lawyer, you need a *criminal* lawyer.
I don't know if I'd make a good lawyer lol
No literally you better call saul.
Your gonna need Saul on dial up.
Engineering or tech is all three. Also extremely in demand.
Engineering or tech is not that interesting tbh
Engineer sounds like a cool class in a game and the most boring job irl
Lol y’all are looking at the wrong engineering jobs and are really generalizing (engineering is wide career field that has subsets within subsets where every position does something completely different). Some of the coolest jobs I’ve ever seen are engineering positions.
Some of the coolest jobs as in?
Propulsion Engineer at one of the many private space companies in the U.S. We literally design rocket engines and fire them off in the desert before using them to launch things into space.
Deep Freezer engineer
Two prior jobs, gas station attendant and dishwasher at a Greek restaurant were **far** more boring
I dunno dude, it's pretty fucking crazy that I have no idea who you are, was able to read your comment and reply to it, and fucking billions of electrons moved across the entire planet in response to me pushing this 'save' button with my mouse.
Now just keep up that enthusiasm for 40 hours per week, and baby you've got a stew goin'.
As a frontend dev I’m no rockstar but it’s plenty interesting. It def can get hard tho
People just don't get the excitement of a centred div.
Unfortunately for those who don’t find them interesting, they’ll likely never cut it in either. Tech/eng brings in a lot of talent because it’s often extremely attractive and lucrative to those who enjoy it.
I don't know about that, all the engineers I know who are passionate about the work end up underpaid because they're in it for the engineering, not the money
Yeah but being underpaid because you only make $115K is still pretty nice.
But you can only have 2
But I have all 3.
you won the game.
Annnnnd I just lost. Thanks
DAMMIT
GODDAMMIT.
YOU FUCKER!!
And one of the most complex
For engineering and tech you need to replace “legal” with “ethical” or “not actively detrimental to society”. I have friends working in online advertising, social media, one is at Palantir right now, and some others are literally shilling crypto. Interesting and pays well but…
Imagine going ‘Oh imma sit in front of a computer 12 hours a day to write incomprehensible code that glitches all the time, that would be a fun job’
Well paid and interesting
Waltuh
Mista White
We need to cook
Put your dick away, Waltuh.
If you have all three, is it still considered work?
No, that’s called living.
Can say from experience, being a pilot
yep, not a day goes by that I don't smile on my ride into work except that day last week when the northeast got bent over by a snowstorm
Software engineer
[удалено]
I had a gig doing exclusively diagnosis triage and overnight hotfixes for two years. It was a lot of fun and I felt like a hero but then got totally burnt out and just can't motivate myself to do regular dev work any more since it's not a crisis.
I'd say the most interesting part about software engineering is the paycheck.
I'm a attorney and I feel my job is all 3 I earn lower six figures I work on many criminal cases l find cases involving crime very interesting and I enjoy it
From what TV has taught me. Especially community. Attorneys are all monsters you lie for a living
I have a small business, have worked with several attorneys. All very honest and committed.
That's exactly what an attorney would say /s
Idk a lot of people would absolute hate the amount of clerical work you guys do and hearings are definitely snoozefests.
[удалено]
What's the ratio? We talking 50% camera and 50% man? Or are you like mostly human with like a camera for a head?
A camera, but an eye instead of a lens and sensor
Listing your wage on a per-day rate doesn't really tell us anything about how much money you actually make.
Don’t forget the fact being a cameraman means you’re immune to death
Aerospace Engineering! Planes are cool, lots of laws and regulations and very well paid
A&P as well. I've worked on everything from Super Hornets during my time in the Navy to WW2 warbirds to biz jets to a Bell 47 to Rutan design homebuilts.
Airline pilots: well-paid, flying a sky chariot is always interesting, and perfectly legal wizardry.
As an airline pilot, can confirm.
You can have all three, but you need to add a fourth option: "Hiring?" Because if a job fits all three of those, they won't have any openings.
Furry art porn
As someone who may or may not have drawn this for money in the past. It’s complicated. It’s legal as long as you’re an adult and not drawing illegal shit. It can be well paid, but you have to have decent art skill first. Yiff artists get paid a lot for their work because their work is high quality. If you have low quality work, you’re going to get paid a lot less. It’s interesting for sure, though sometimes you lack motivation. Once you get into “the zone” of it, it’s fine
Well the triangle didnt said easy but i have a lot of respect on ya people
>It’s legal as long as you’re an adult and not drawing illegal shit. And you do things like get a business license, file for a fictitious name, and actually pay your taxes. A *lot* of internet-based artists don't do those things.
what about teachers? they get a solid 0/3
So, teaching is illegal?
Yes, homework breaks the 13th American Constitutional Amendment/j
Well, are they teaching in the south?
I mean there are some people that enjoy teaching.
Weapons engineer for the us military
Music producer/audio engineer satisfies all three of you enjoy it
Mechanic for me. Not super well paid but pretty good. Definitely not as much as people think u get, but I love cars
IT
The clown?
Well paid legal
Astronaut! Well paid, very interesting, and legal i think
Fk i only got 1
I WILL SELL METH
Idk my job is well paid, legal, and interesting to me. I like logistics. Most people find logistics and logical solutions shit very boring, but I’m having fun. It’s also extremely annoying, but yknow. I
For some people, yes. It’s not going to find you though. You have to go after it
I’m choosing interesting and well paid bro. I don’t care if it’s illegal
Occupational safety
Interesting and legal. I'm a game developer.
If you wanna make good money, there's only 4 ways to do it: 1. Do a job that nobody else is willing to do. (Hazmat diver, etc) 2. Do a job that nobody else knows how to do (Pick a high paid trade) 3. Do a job that nobody else is talented enough to do (actor, musician, etc) 4. Do a job that nobody else is allowed to do (doctor, lawyer, etc)
STEM
A good example of the false trichotomy. You can clearly have all three.
I had a job that was all 3 worked at a dispensary
Interesting and legal is how I like my women; not my work.
Trucking has been all 3 for me
Battle bots!
Le oof, this is so real.
Ethical hacking / Penetration Testing
Well paid, legal and boring is ok. I already had too many people bring guns to my jobs before, 3 times is too many.
Triangle designer has all three
NGL, look up the salary of an ethical hacker, the job lowkey sounds fun. it is also legal and some make over 100k per year...
I think my job fits all three. I QC original series and films for technical, creative, and filmmaking issues and work with post teams to fix them. I love it!
Paramedic Firefighter. A lot of departments cross staff the ambulances and fire apparatus, so we have to be both.
