Are there any careers that have 5 or more weeks a year vacation time besides teaching??
I am looking for a job with a $30k+ salary with 5 weeks or more off per year.This job does not have to have salary upside. Most countries give 20 to 25 vacation days per year.Everything I read is about how to make more money and I can find very little involving careers with more time off besides teaching.I live simple and am looking to take more vacations.I have an income stream from investments and would like to earn enough to pay my base bills.I have a Bachelors Degree in Finance and have been involved in the equities market.I live in Las Vegas and have worked valet and shuttle driving jobs over the past 10 years.These jobs do not allow me 5+ weeks per year off while full-time the rest of the year.I am considering getting my CDL and being a truck driver due to my love of driving and moving around.I have already submitted a question regarding the truck driving industry.Does anyone have a suggestion other than teaching for someone who is willing to sacrifice more money for time off?

Try working on a fishing boat. If you survive, you only have to work for a couple of months at a time. I wouldn't advise driving trucks. Those guys barely make it driving all the hours they are allowed by law. Diesel is over $4.00 a gallon.

I would have to say the only career I know of would be a home based business. I can take as many weeks as I want to in a year because I work from my computer and my telephone. By doing this you are creating leverage and passive income so $30k/mo would be more like it.
Just think of all the vacations you could take, tours to see the world and still earn income!
I can't imagine doing anything else.

Honestly, it depends on how long you have been working for the company. My uncle is an IRS auditor and has been fro 20+ years. He makes enough money so that he only works 6 months out of the year and spends the other 6 in Australia scuba diving.

5 weeks vacation is sooooo unamerican.
OK, seriously, you need to be an independent contractor to take 5-6 weeks off.
Most companies won't let you start with more than 2-3 weeks a year of vacation.
