120 Jobs That Won't Chain You to Your Desk: Finding Your Dream Job Outside an Office

By Princeton Review
Do you dread the thought of wearing business attire, and sitting in front of a computer screen all day? 120 Jobs That Won't Chain You to Your Desk highlights those dream jobs that won't leave you with desk-job slouch at the end of the day.
Each job profile includes quotes from people in the field as well as practical advice on launching a career. Some of the jobs require college (and even an advanced degree), some require professional school, and some others simply require a very strong individual will. Many of these professions are tempting but might seem out of reach, since the path is not as direct (or well-traveled) as, say, that for an aspiring attorney or an accountant.
Each job profile includes the following subjects:

A (Relatively Typical) Day in the Life
Extreme Days
Preparing for Success
Getting Your Foot in the Door
Biggest Challenges
Best Perks
