I have had various jobs. I had some in the US that were somewhat enjoyable, but a consistent theme was that I always struggled waking up and commuting. My favorite job by far (partly because of the schedule) was teaching English in Korea. My work started at 3pm and I didn't have to drive to work; I could walk or take a bus.
If I decide to stay in the US, I see two ways to somewhat mimic this. Move somewhere with public transit (NY or Boston probably) and/or find a job with a later start. But most jobs, especially “real” careers, seem to want you to start at 8 or 9 AM. I've tried that before and I really did not like it. I quit a few jobs after just a couple weeks because of this to be honest. My mom is a lawyer and she told me that even after working for the last 15 years, she still isn't used to waking up early and still doesn't like it.
I know that some medical jobs, like nursing, allow you to work a later shift if you want. I'm wondering what other options there might be? Jobs with a good salary, health insurance, etc, that allow you to work later in the day rather than early. My ideal time to wake up is probably around 11 or noon.
If you have or know of a career like this, I'd be interested to hear about it. Thank you!
