First time accepted submitter ozzyoli writes "I love computer science (IT not so much) but I despise the thought of being stuck behind a desk for the rest of my life. Are there any career paths that would suit a computer scientist who likes to be physically active and on his feet a lot?"

    I keep my computer running 24 hours a day.

      Computer Science careers already have plenty physical activity...

      For example:

      Jumping to conclusions, flying off the handle, throwing your colleagues under the bus, and knifing your boss in the back.

    Work for Microsoft and advance up to CEO position. Then throwing chairs will be one of your more important job responsibilities.

    I did this for several months a few years ago, until one day when I was sitting at my desk I heard what sounded like a muffled gunshot, and suddenly found myself sitting on the floor with a very sore arse. The great thing about chairs is that they don't burst.
