You get paid to stay away from people?

I once read a sci-fi book where this guy was cursed to have it always rain on him. He figured out how to monetize it by getting resorts to pay him to stay away.

I get paid to stay away from people.

That and being hired by farmers to go to drought stricken areas. I think it was an Asimov tale...
