I personally have taken a job as a lifeguard. The pay is good, the hours are good, and it is a job that gives incentive to staying fit and knowing how to give medical aid. Free or discounted lessons in all kinds of first aid (wilderness, lifeguarding courses, etc.) are always being offered to employees. If you work at a pool instead of beach, oftentimes you get free access to all the facilities. And, so long as you have a copy of your certification, you can get a job lifeguarding pretty much anywhere. This can be useful to those who move around a lot. I realise that none of this is specific to anarchism, but a fairly fulfilling job with lots of benefits that is not difficult to get seems like the kind of job anyone would want, even an anarchist.
