If you like getting active and getting your hands dirty at work, you should think about doing some manual labor.

A lot of jobs in manual labor are outside. The types of jobs you can do vary widely; a small sample of them include:

Park and Trail Maintenance
Electrician
Welder
Facilities Maintenance
Construction Worker
Beekeeper
Farmer

Most of these jobs don’t require a degree and some don’t require much experience, just a willingness to dig in and get the job done no matter what.
