Great stuff about working at night:
>wake up late, make coffee, check e-mails and issues tracker knowing all those people are sleeping and won't chase me
>you can have more relaxed tempo
>you can go for a walk very early in morning to buy cigs (before your bedtime), while streets are still empty
>no loud neighbors and their kankerchildren scream coming to my right ear
>sleeping during day means you are skipping literally the heat of summer
Unfortunately I'm waking up in morning now. I also have feeling like I have more time when I'm awake during night. If you go sleep at 5am, you will wake up around 12-14 without any problem and you have basically even evening for yourself if you want to get the hell out for coffee + whole night.

It depends on the job, right? Night shift as a guard or surveillance worker would be comfy as fuck, I imagine. Night shifts at gas stations and shops are too scary for me, I know people that have been threatened and attacked multiple times by nutjobs that apparently only come out after sunset

Skipping the heat is fucking great. I can't stand the heat so being able to about it like that is the best. Night guard is comfy where I work cause I get to get out of my shit neighborhood into the good areas so I can just relax for the whole time there.

Most of my jobs have been /nightshift/ either in retail or as a Uber driver. Retail at night can be relaxed because there are no customers but even in 24 hour stores there are few people coming in at that time. On the other hand it can get extremely boring real quick and when I wasn't allowed to listen to my music I was fucked.
Uber is crazy but fun. I thought going into it that it would suck because I hate people, but it turns out that my hatred for people has enabled me to deal with every class of citizen because ultimately my expectation is so low. /nightshift/ Uber can be dangerous which is kind of exciting. I've been in neighborhoods full of blacks, one time I had to stop at a gas station with like 20 of them just hanging out in front and I must have been the only white for several blocks. It was 2AMish and the whole thing was very surreal, but I kept my calm. I've been threatened, I've seen women strip in my car, I've been solicited sexually, I've seen car accidents as they were happening right in front of my face, I've been in drug deals, and all of this happens as I get to listen to whatever the fuck I want.

Used to be and I hated it. Hated working with all the n00bs. Hated having to stay up way past bedtime to interact with family, friends, or going to the doctor or to go grocery shopping. Hated having to do weird shit to keep my room dark like duct taping garbage bags over my window AND tie a shirt over my eyes so what little light that still crept in through my closed door wouldn't bother me. Hated having to piss in a pail so I wouldn't be awakened by daylight every time I went to the bathroom. But other than putting up with those adaptations I found /nightshift/ comfy, especially biking to work through the dark city and coming home watching the sun rise as I was heading home.

Not 100%. Your best bet would be job as project maintainer or something along those lines, where you can get away with being awake whenever you want to as long as you get done what you have to get done but again, you might have sit downs or whatever you call them, you have to be often available during the day asap, and especially you have to be available either if something goes terribly wrong or if you are reaching deadline. Maybe you can get some job as tech support or server maintainer in cases when they need someone to sit there during the night, I don't know.
My advice would be in this case starting your own project (or joining already established one) if you don't have anything better to do but actually something useful which will pay your bills. Based microshit added donations on GitHub, I assume it helped a lot of solid FOSS projects. Or create some web service. You don't have to give any fucks anymore, you wake up, go through issues and pull requests, make few commits, tell pajeets to go fuck themselves, spend 80% of your time with responding on e-mails and call it a day. However this is something like fucking holy grail of tech "jobs".
If you truly want to be master of your own time, you would join full time artists/writers elite. Concept of time will totally lose any meaning to you, yes money question is shit one but you will be able to afford some hot noodles and beer, don't worry. You can take commissions but those are necessary evil, other than that, you will basically do whatever you want to do and if you won't do anything at all you will pretend you are just searching for inspiration or some shit like that. Wagies for some reason think this is cool as fuck, I don't know why but I definitely miss it. It's not like you know what the fuck is your purpose in life anyway, so it doesn't matter if you walk through creative void most of the time. I used to spend 14-16 hours a day writing, recording and mixing - and guess what - not even once it bothered me. Now some fucko writes me "yo we have some issue" which means I will spend 2 hours solving some shit in C++ and I'm losing my cool. I also miss the fucking people. I never met so laid back, supportive people, good friends, as I had in artists. There is something you understand without words, the way of life, same problems, even though your approach and what you do might be totally different. But such is life.

I work the late shift at a movie theater, and it puts me home around 1-2. I generally like it as I don't have to deal with all too many people past a particular time and the walk home us kind of nice, but I am beginning to get tired of it.

I was /nightshift/ for quite a while but every /nightshift/ job I was at had lots of interaction with supervisors that were pure ass. I want to find one where I can be left alone without the supervisor contacting me every little bit.

If you get into networking (cisco/juniper/etc) a lot of those positions will start you on overnights to at least learn. Preferring to stay on overnights can also be valuable since most will want to get onto a regular shift.

I don't really work a night shift, more of an evening shift. work mon-thursday 3-9 and then 4-10 on the weekend. Only have one day off a week. The walk home is pretty comfy though because I live in a small town and no one leaves their house after 6.
