Elements I find important in a good job

Obviously my efforts are entirely becoming a teacher, but after holding numerous random jobs I do have some elements that I classify as making a job a good one:
1. Intellectually interesting.
2. Movement around allowed (past just rolling your chair).
3. Dress code allows for some flexibility.
4. Changes with time either through promotion or other environmental factors.
5. Allows for interaction with others.
6. Does not remind you of Office Space. (The hardest one)
7. Salaried work- particularly if you don't have to think about keeping your own time card.
8. Does not require that you use an "employee bathroom" (although in schools, faculty bathrooms tend to be a perk, I do enjoy reading the graffiti on the walls of the students' bathrooms)
9. Allows you to post things like a list of elements I find important and get paid for it...
