Computer Professions

Answer 3

I'm assuming that you don't like computers or cannot use them for some reason.
Here's a list of jobs where computers are rarely used:

- Most medical jobs (nurse, doctor, medical assistant, paramedic.)
Note: I was a volunteer paramedic. Aside from entering a bit of patient data (just a small form after a complicated call, and only done by the leader of the call) there's almost no computer work. It's a very exciting field- you're always getting interesting calls and helping people- and there's a lot of career moves you can make. (Ex: Working on an ICU ambulance, etc.)

- Trades jobs: Construction, Machinists, HVAC, Plumbers, Electrician, Building Managers, Gas licenses, more.
Note: I have a few friends in the trades. These are smart, smart people who are always solving problems. The pay quickly reaches over $100K in Canada once you have experience. And you get paid for apprentice work. However, some trades treat apprentices poorly. In Masonery, you're hauling heavy rocks. Others are better.
Also consider jobs like this in real estate like building managers who maintain entire buildings. Now, you might think "O I don't want to be a tradesperson" but keep in mind once you're a site manager, foreman, building manager, etc, you're getting the same management titles that the business grads get- but you make even more since you're specialized. And still, very little computer work.

- Sales jobs: While computers are involved, you're often on your feet, going to meetings.

- Geologists and Mineral Engineers: Depends on what you do, but very often you are going out to scout areas or exploring. The senior jobs can end up with more management, but that's up to you. You should speak to a geologist. I know one who spent a lot of time exploring northern Canada for research and looking for resources. Exciting, but not for everyone.

- Social Workers and Councillors: Sort of part of the healthcare field. Yes, there's some computer work, but you're largely interacting with people. You can avoid it if you want.

- Firefighters and Police: This is another great field where there's a lot of excitement and very little computer work, unless you want it. Even with desk jobs, in police at least, you can move up and choose fields where there's less computer work. It does pay well and as you move up, there's a lot of well-paying positions. The chiefs of police in Canada often make close to the $200K range or more for a large city. However, if you are driven by money you'll likely not get to that level.

- Politicians: Usually there's a lot of computer work, since unless you're the actual mayor, you're doing the paperwork and research for elected officials. But you might be able to get there fast.
