I think working will somewhat have the pressure. Even though, I still prefer to work in the office rather than having an outdoor job. Because basically it is the same. The pressure is still available no matter you work indoor or outdoor. Sometimes working outside can be much more tiring because you may not sit most of the time. Besides, the weather can be troublesome if it is so hot or cold outside. If it rains, it will be even terrible.

Of course every job either it is an indoor or outdoor, have their own advantages and disadvantages. Same like you, i am an indoor staff and had been used to it for many years. you are right every job have their own share of pressure. It is up to us on how to overcome the pressure of work, to be able to work long for the company that we had chosen to work for.

I love to do office job better than outdoor job, mainly because I am quite used to it after so many years of office job. Office job is a minding one. So long as we let our brain some good rest, it still works well. But it is true indeed that I often feel pressured with my work, especially when there is a difficult task to be finished. Have a good day.

Indeed, office job is still much better than working outdoor. Nowadays, doing outdoor job is not interesting especially with the extreme heat. I can't stand working outdoor job. I think only those who had been used to working outdoor job, would say it is much more interesting. Since they are more free to go anywhere, even though they are still working. Where else, we are not free to go out any time when we are still working in the office. I always listened to music when i am feel stressed while still working.

Well, I have done both. I feel that in deciding which job is better would depend on the person. For me, being an outdoor type person, I prefer an outdoor job. Although in the nasty weather of winter, it is nice to work inside, be it an office job or otherwise. I find office work to be a huge bore. Boring. I prefer to be more physically active. Often times, without outdoor work, a person gets laid off or work just ceases in the miserable wet months. In that case an indoor job can be much more stable. Still, I prefer outdoor work.

Yes, each type of job have their good and bad advantages. Since you are used to work outdoor, then you won't feel the interest to work indoor. I had been working indoor since from day one. so, if i am asked to work outdoor, it won't suits to me at all. Hope to see you more often in here.

I think doing office job i.e. just sitting on a table and doing stuffs like composing letters, typing, receiving and making telephone calls, scheduling meetings, taking minutes of meeting, making drafts, preparing for presentation and sketching, etc... is only joyful if we have the passion for it AND if there is not so many envious people around. What I mean is when we sit in a compartment in an office building, our view is restricted to only what we see inside the room and if the compartment is high walled it is more suffocating since our sight is only permitted to go as far as our cubicle walls. When people get bored, people will find other things to make their lives more exciting. And most people like gossiping, back slandering and other bad activities to make their office life 'interesting'. To me if I am given an outdoor job it is more relaxing, providing that I don't have to worry about how to go there. I mean there is a driver to take me and other staffs there and we only have to do whatever the job is.

Yup..l agreed with you, as l had been taking up office job for more than 10 years. l had gone through, all kinds of problems and managed to solved them accordingly. Luckly, l had the patience and willing to put my best performance in very things that l do. Always do the best in everything that we do.

I enjoy working indoors where I am at now, It can be stressful at times but an outdoor job can be more physically demanding which I do not think that I would enjoy.

I worked before in several types of jobs. Some of them office work and some of them does require one to be outside. I would say that there are good and bad about both of them. If you get a job that mostly deal with office work indoor, you may find it boring and you do almost the same thing everyday. However, the environment can be colder with the air-conditioned environment, and safer as you are not exposed to threats outdoor. If you work outdoor, you may find it to be challenging and exciting at times which requires you to observe, analyze and communicate with people. You may also involved in more physical activities though. Yet, you are more vulnerable to threats and the not so comfortable environment such as hot days and so on.
