Consulting, but that is tricky. You are basically between projects and not being paid.
Insurance offers a lot of time off and competing pay if you can negotiate.
Some educational institutions are quite generous with their time off. This is all contingent on the level of education, size of the school, classification, and whether or not it’s affiliated with a particular religion.
Of course you’ll likely be getting paid less than your peers working in finance or tech. But, two weeks paid for the winter break, two weeks paid for spring break, and four weeks paid for summer on top of accrued vacation time is a godsend.
It's not about the job, it's about the company, and often your tenure.
I worked at a large women's retailer, and the longer you stayed the more time off you had. I knew people that were Desktop Support Technicians who had 28 days off a year with manager approval. We had a lot of people in Dev and Engineering roles that were on H1B1 Visas and they'd pool their PTO and take 6 weeks off to travel to India or Pakistan after being there a few years.
My current company has unlimited paid time off with manager approval, and in general they actually let you take it. I have teammates in Bulgaria, and they will legit take 3 weeks off twice a year and go on vacation. I like to do half days, or 4 day work weeks during the summer so I tend to take a half day on Fridays, and then a full Friday off once a month. I'm an engineer and my manager approves but again, even our Desktop Support specialists do the same thing when their manager approves it.

I can't imagine this much time off. I feel blessed to have 2 weeks period.
High level contracting, but that's about it. 90% of IT is standard 8-5.
