If you work on your feet, do you rebel about it from time to time?

Working on my feet is ok for me for now part-time 25 hours a week.

I personally would absolutely hate it full-time because of how physically exhausting it is.

I've done it for 6 years and I tell myself NEVER AGAIN!

I an doing everything NOT to work on my feet full time ever. I am studying and gaining my new qualification that will allow me to sit down while working.

I am fit and healthy. I am 43.

With age, it is not that easy working on my feet. I can feel it after ther end of 5 days week so much.

I hate the fact it gives me corns on my feet.

Physical job is so exhausting.

It's so lovely for me to sit down and not to work physically so much.

Most intellectual jobs are sitting-down jobs.

That's why I must use my brain while earning.

I don't want to be a low-earning working class on a minimum wage.

I want to be upper middle class.

If you are upper middle class, what did you study and what job do you have to achieve it?

What skills or qualifications do you have already?

What sort of business do you work for currently? if they're the sort of employer that offers training and advancement within, it might be better to use their structure & opportunities to transition into an office job with them, than to leave and start a new career entirely.

I thought you meant work on your feet as in remove dead skin when I first read the title

You've posted this in the Relationships board OP. Might want to ask MNHQ to move it somewhere more appropriate?

To answer your title, I could not work a job where I was on my feet all day (or even a lot) as I have back problems and knee problems.
