The “Dirt” On Jobs

Want to find your dream job? Good luck, says TVs Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs fame.

Researchers have identified at least 35 diseases, from diabetes and osteoporosis to cancer, that people who spend all day in a chair are at increased risk for. And they are developing prescriptions for how long people should spend sitting and standing, according to this piece in The Wall Street Journal.
