Have you ever worked a job for at least one year that required you to be on your feet the majority of the time?

Yes. Almost 13hrs a day when I was a correctional officer in maximum security, walking concrete and flights of stairs for half the day.

I'm on my feet the entire 8 to 10 hours I'm at work everyday. I don't even get to sit on breaks.

I've never had a job that wasn't physical. I'd get too bored if I wasn't on my feet.

Damn, ~30% "No" is pretty surprising. I've wondered how common office jobs are.

Spent two weeks as a hospital porter for "work experience" when I was 16. Went in feeling fit - 60 mile cycles, rowing, sailing - and found myself soaking my feet in warm water every evening. Briefly in charge of the phone switchboard, no idea where I sent those calls.

Currently standing/walking around for at least 7 and a half houra. sometimes more. Last night for around 11.
