Hmm. Something I hadn't thought much about. Definitely interesting, though a quick search doesn't turn up anything too promising.

Also, not sure how compatible it is with my ethics.

Still, a useful idea. Thank you (& upvoted).

In the spirit of asking personally important questions, what jobs are there where high intelligence is useful but that also provide structure? Structure is fairly successful at circumventing my akrasia.

Of course, I'd also like the work not to be boring, the pay to be good, there to be independence (this may be in conflict with the structure, in which case my desires may just be incoherent), etc.
