175 Best Jobs Not Behind a Desk (Best Jobs)

By Laurence Shatkin and Michael Farr

Many workers don't want to sit all day or have a boss looking over their shoulder. Others enjoy working outdoors, like an active pace, or prefer physical activity on the job. With this book's help, readers take just two steps to discover the 175 best jobs not chained to a desk. First, 70 "best jobs" lists help individuals explore and compare career options. The lists are organized by activity level, amount of time outdoors, earnings, education, growth, openings, interests, self-employment, part-time work, gender, age, and personality type. Among the bonus lists: the lowest-strength high-activity jobs, the highest-strength high-activity jobs, jobs with the highest physical activity levels, and the metropolitan areas that have the largest proportion of high-activity jobs. Second, thorough job descriptions offer useful information on wages, growth, openings, tasks, responsibilities, physical activity level, required education and courses, working conditions, related jobs, and more.
