What type of job do you do and would you prefer something else in terms of do you prefer:

Jobs with lots of sit down time using your brain and the computers

Or

Jobs where your physically on the move a lot, lots of walking to places in your workplace, lots of stuff to keep you busy?

Me i prefer just sitting down chilling out on the computers but a lot of people i know say theyd hate that.

Hmm, I wonder what sort of answers are most likely on an internet forum...

I like to keep moving.

Unfortunately most jobs with decent pay involve sitting down most of the time.

If you are any good at almost any job you will end up sitting down a lot of the time.

I like a bit of both really. Couldn't do a sit down office job 100% of the time, sole destroying. Sedentary work as well as the "office politics" and ste chat with people you don't care about.

Love working with my hands but it is nice when you get a half day in the office "relaxing" compared to the chumps still labouring away.

As with life, a little bit of it all for me.

I would like the best of both worlds, to sit down all day and work with my hands. After extensive research I have discovered that professional masturbater is my profession of choice. I'm yet to find anyone hiring within a commutable distance but I am patient and I'm hopeful that the perfect role will present itself soon......

I gave up looking for that career role, the only company who would hire me was the TISSUES CORPORATION but unfortanely they were going down the bog so wasent worth the risk

I'm a combined sales/warehouse/purchasing manager. I also make the tea and this week I'm packing mail order parts for shipment because the warehouseman is on holiday.

My new "arse broom" arrives tomorrow so by Friday the floors will be spotless.

Working in motorsport is so glamorous.

Made redundant.... so not quite sure what exactly that means :/
Busting my balls to get back to work, proving annoyingly difficult. Zero help from those in job centers, I have been told and this is true " I am not out of work long enough "
Any wonder the work shy have no ******* interest.

Should not have posted now I am annoyed again frown

I work in a warehouse doing 12 hour shifts standing up and walking about doing the same repetitive task. I'd much prefer an office job using computers and my brain.

Aircraft mech, much more satisfying fixing part of a plane than getting a report finished, don't see myself working behind a desk until old age/bigger pay cheque gets involved.

Work for JCB at the moment at their engine plant near Burton, started there purely as I'd been made redundant from my last job. Still not sure what I really want to do though to be honest, I actually think a job involving things I enjoy doing doesn't exist.... Awaits wking jokes hehe

Despite questioning from some, me and the missus run a small PR company. We adapt hours and workload to fit in with bringing up kids; at the moment I do a lot of childcare then pretend I'm important as the finance bod of the company. Once they're full time; I will get back on it. I ran it full time when they were very young. We run a team of freelancers across the UK.

Actually, I think you'll find it's the jobs where you walk around a lot that are "sole" destroying...
