who knew?

Today, I was doing some reading for class, and stumbled across the ideal job description:

"those who are called philosophers, or men of speculation, whose trade it is not to do anything, but to observe everything: and who, upon that account, are often capable of combining together the powers of the most distant and dissimilar objects"

that's want I want, to do nothing and observe everything... where do I apply?

BTW, the quote is from Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations
