What sort of degree should you seek if you want to find a livable wage in a cubicle-free environment? I loved my former career playing in an army band, but now I am older and need a new career! Also, ADHD friendly jobs would be a bonus.
I know people in sales that travel quite a bit. Biologist, Chemist, Firefighter, Police Officer, Forest Ranger, Roofer, Plumber, Work in Retail, Construction worker, Waitress/Waiter, Dentist, Doctor, Nurse, Amubulance Driver.
There are lots and lots of non-cubicle jobs out there....
Jobs in humanitarian aid are in high demand but are strangely hard to get into... go figure.
If you don't mind working overseas, it's an option.
On that note, you can do the "teach English overseas" thing. I've heard you usually get a free apartment while you are over there plus a $20,000-$30,000 salary. Since you aren't paying rent, you should be able to bank most of that. Not a bad deal.

This has to be the best question I've read so far! I have been wanting to ask my beloved forum readers but keep getting side-tracked. I too despise cubicles and have been thinking about possible careers that will guarantee that I won't step anywhere near a cubicle. LOL..One of the posters above gave a great list, not sure of the Poster's name but jobs like waitressing, police officer, etc. Basically, any job that lets you move around would be ideal for you. I know a friend who got a job at a cleaning company so she is always on the move (going from one house assignment to the other). She works M-F days only and the pay is around $9.00. Better than fast food for sure! I don't know if $9.00/hr is livable wage but it can be, if you live small.
I also have another friend who is a Medical Technologist and works in a laboratory. He is also on the move and primarily works alone or one other person. He loves it since he too hates cubicle farms. You do need a degree for this type of work though. But it is good for me to read that I am not the only one who detests cubicles. They really are something, especially if you have to hear the conversations of your neighbors.
