The job I'd prefer is hundreds if not thousands of years from now. I want to have my own ship to explore planets and feed the data back to earth. New contact? Great send info to earth for ground troops to stop by and start procedures while i move to the next planet.

A planet that's lifeless but good for resources. Great, send info to earth for mining ships to start work on it.

Bad areas not suitable for ship travel (black holes, pulsars, etc etc). Ok mark perimeter for other ships to avoid.

Mark scenic areas for possible stations to setup.

Imagine thousands of ships that are doing this. So much data flow. Probably too much data for scientists to keep up 🤣

Someone has to do it and not many would like to do it but those of us that would like to would have a blast! You could even do it as a 1 man crew with robots to help keep the ship going that way if the human lifeform were to die it's only 1 life vs the hundreds that would potentially die if it was a full crew of humans. The robots could even clean up for the next human to take over.

But that's all a dream unfortunately.
