Could Your Job Whip You Into Shape?

hyku/FlickrDo you remember the guy from Joe Millionaire? Let's mute our memories about how he stumbled his way through conversations with his personal butler and women who, frankly, weren't exactly talking politics and The Iliad with old boy. Instead, let's unashamedly focus on the cover to the picture book that was Joe Millionaire's Evan Marriott: buff, buff and more buff.

Sure, he probably hits the gym, way back in those reality old days and wherever he is now. But let us also remember that Joe/Evan is/was a construction worker. While he didn't win any conversational, dating or Emmy awards, maybe he does know something that lots of other folks haven't figured out yet. Maybe he's really one of those people who is smart enough to have a profession they love and helps them stay active, fit and (did I mention this already?) buff.

If you want to get off the couch during prime time reality TV mania or just out from (ahem) behind the computer where you work all day, perhaps you'd consider one of these great careers that CNN's saying will give you a paycheck, a profession and a workout everyday you clock in. The list breaks down how these jobs will whip you into shape, what activities you can expect to each shift, as well as average salaries.

Now, if only more of these active jobs could actually make you a millionaire.
