Let’s face it – not everyone is cut out for an office job. If you are someone who is always on the move and who cannot fathom yourself sitting at a desk all day, you might want to take a closer look at some options that will allow you to get up and move around while earning a living.
Personal Trainer
Anyone who is interested in fitness should certainly consider pursuing a career as a personal trainer. While your primary job is to create workout regimes for your clients as you help them achieve their fitness goals, the gym is your workplace. As such, you will have plenty of opportunities to work out as you demonstrate things to your clients. In addition, you don’t have to travel far during your breaks, during lunch or before or after work to find opportunities to workout. After all, your “office” is the gym.
Doctor or Nurse
While there is still office work associated with being a doctor or nurse, there is still plenty of movement associated with this job. After all, you will be spending the majority of your day walking around and meeting with parents. Nurses in particular see quite a bit of physical activity throughout the day, as they are regularly called upon to lift and move patients as they take care of them.
Welder
If you enjoy working with your hands, you might also want to consider a career as a welder. Welders are continually moving around and changing position as they work toward completing their projects. Furthermore, you can potentially earn a very attractive income as a welder if you are good at the craft.
Carpenter
If you have an interest in building homes and other structures, you might want to consider a career as a carpenter. Not only do you get to push your body to its limits as you lift and carry heavy equipment and materials, it is also a career path that offers stability. After all, carpentry work is not something that can be completed remotely by someone from another country.
General Contractor
If you consider yourself to be a bit of a handyman or woman, you might want to consider pursuing a career as a general contractor. From small tasks such as moving lawns and cleaning pools to larger tasks such as painting houses and making repairs, you can get plenty of exercise while working as a general contractor. In addition, you have the opportunity to work for yourself if you choose to start your own general contractor business.
