Not everyone wants to work behind a desk. Lucky, then, that some of the best opportunities don't require you to sit in the office all day. Whether you're looking for work that keeps you on your feet or you want to turn your creativity into a paycheck, the following careers should provide some ideas.
[See the full list of The 50 Best Careers.]
Some of these careers defy categorization, so we've called them "service" jobs since they're the occupations that make the world go 'round: The pilots who fly to remote destinations or the agricultural pilots who dust crops; the interpreters and translators who facilitate communication in our courts or prepare instruction manuals to be read overseas; and the heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration technicians who install and repair some of the most important appliances in our homes.
Our picks in the creative and service category this year:
• Curator
• Heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration technician
