Some people can't stand the thought of spending their work days in a cubicle, behind a computer screen, chained to their swivel chair — but others really don't mind working a desk job.
If you identify with the latter group, you've probably been warned of all the dangers of sitting for eight hours a day. But here's some good news: There are lots of high-paying jobs for people who prefer not to be on their feet.
