If i had the guts for it i would actually love to give alaskan crab fishing a go, i think i could handle the lack of sleep aspect to a certain extent but the pressure and danger of it is another thing. Then again, they're on amazing money for a reason.

I did 8 years as a motorcycle courier in Dublin, only have two perma-cracked vertabrae to remind me of it. Good money, sound lads to work with, brilliant social life. Oh yeah I forgot, wearing leather every day! Highly recommened.

Same way as you, typing it out with two fingers, looking up every second word in the dictionary, drooling a bit and hoping the 50 cent in the meter doesn't run out.
