omission9 writes: For about 10 years I have worked mostly behind a desk in a cubicle and am starting
to feel that this environment is making me miserable. The cheap fluorescent lights,
the stuffy air, and the restless feeling I get from just sitting so long are starting to
really annoy me.
My background is mainly as a programmer but I started my career as a network engineer/network
administrator. I am also a member of the US Naval Reserve and am cleared as high as Top Secret.
Are there any jobs out there that match this sort of skill set(more or less programmer but generally excellent
tech skills) that don't require being stuck behind a desk? Paying relatively well would be a major plus
as would something that provides a solid career(20+ years of work).
Anyone out there in /. land that is reading this from anywhere other than a cube farm
that may have some advice?
