Outdoor jobs for geeks?
KirinDave: Photography is a good geeky job that involves a lot of outside work. Photography is actually a very technical art these days, which also is strongly related to the artistic expression of the photographer.I have recently taken up photography as a technical but low-stress pastime. It appeals to my programmer-brain and my under-utilized artistic appeal at the same time. It is also a great excuse to go to interesting place.  As a bonus, part of learning photography is learning interesting things about cognition, vision and light. All cool stuff.Photography listens to "intent" and "execution" nearly as much as programming, which makes it very appealing to me. It's remarkable to me how two very similar pictures at identical venues can convey very different feelings, based off intent and execution.
