What are jobs which you should avoid if you don't like spending most of the week in the office? Or if it's easier to answer, what are jobs to go for if you like to get out and about and not just sit at your desk most of the time?

* Legal
* Recruitment Sales & HR
* Administration (obvious)
* Call Centre
* Social Work
* Construction
Accepted a job offer today to work in recruitment but this sector is well known to be a boring 'soul destroying' office job because most of the time you constantly go on the phone all day with no face to face interaction with clients and candidates especially when you work in the social care sector (DBS Checks and other compliance). Basically a lot of things involve huge amounts of paperwork which isn't fun in any way.

Think its easier to say what jobs don't involve sitting at your desk all the time: teacher, anything healthcare based, social worker, museum assistant/curator, policeman. Those are the ones I can think of for the moment.

I also hear that jobs like doctor, social worker, police and teacher these days are increasingly having to spend more time sitting at a desk doing paperwork.

Avoid most of the jobs in financial services- accounting, actuarial, trading, banking
Maybe a career as a GP or dentist could be too office based as well.

tbh most graduate jobs will involve being in an office for long periods of time.
Jobs like civil/structural engineering or environmental related such as geology will get out out of an office onto a site. However you should expect to be in an office playing around with CAD/GIS or looking at data sets in these jobs also.
Almost any job now involves a computer.

Also many non office jobs involve regular over night shifts.

I work in recruitment now and the hours are nearly the same as a call centre!

I don't think there's many though. Probably because more and more sectors are being swamped with paperwork. Even healthcare I think is becoming more and more swamped with paperwork. I'm pretty sure even in healthcare unless you're in a patient facing role, most of your work is office and paperwork based.
