Start your own business.

Every day I have to do a lot of intense thinking... Every week, long term strategy and planning. Pretty much every business email that I write or phone call that I make requires a lot of thinking and analyzing. Especially since there's always an understand that if I fuck up, it's usually directly money out of my pocket.

It's not for everybody, but if you're looking for a job that makes you think, that's the one.

Running a business is much, much, much more about doing than it is about thinking.

yes, but if you prefer managing others to doing yourself, you can make that choice. Of course, that's more 'selecting the right people' than 'thinking'

Still, the point is that running a business is much more about 'making sure things get done' than it is about 'doing things' - now, quite often, the only way to reach the former is through the latter, but when things are going well, your primary job is thinking of the next move.

The nice thing about it though is that you have to think and do. If you just think, or just do, you're hosed.
