Love working with your hands?

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dig in to these 10 careers.

You’d be forgiven if you’re among the many people who love the idea of working with their hands. After all, having a job that produces a tangible object—evidence of a job well done—somehow feels like you’re being more productive than if you were to tap on a keyboard all day long. Plus, your skills and accomplishments are visible for everyone to admire.

Though technology has done much to replace good old-fashioned elbow grease, there are still plenty of jobs out there that require a human touch. Using Bureau of Labor Statistics data, Monster rounded up 10 careers that could use a hand—preferably two.

Carpenter

What you’d do: The things we see so often that we take them for granted—furniture, doors, walls, roofs, cabinets—all start out as raw material, typically wood. Carpenters take that wood, then measure, cut, shape, assemble and put the finishing touches on it, bringing it to life.

What you’d need: There are no formal education requirements. Many learn the trade through an apprenticeship or on-the-job training. View a sample resume for a carpenter.

What it pays: $42,090 per year

Casino dealer

What you’d do: Casino dealers dole out the cards and/or chips at table games like blackjack, craps and roulette, serving as the face and hands of Lady Luck—both good and bad.

What you’d need: A highschool degree or equivalent and great interpersonal skills are the minimum. Some casino roles may require a college degree.

What it pays: $20,040 per year

Chef/baker

What you’d do: Chefs chop, slice, season, cook and arrange humble ingredients into divine meals for restaurant patrons. Not to be outshined, bakers measure, knead, shape and decorate a dizzying variety of breads, pastries, cakes, cookies and other delights that we love to eat (with our hands, usually).

What you’d need: Some chefs and bakers get a formal education that can include college or culinary school, but the work can also be learned on the job.

What it pays: $41,500 per year for chefs; $24,170 per year for bakers

Electrician

What you’d do: If you love to tinker with gadgets and enjoy home repair, electrical work might spark your interest. Electricians install, maintain and repair power systems, running power lines and hard-wiring them for homes and businesses, giving us the juice needed to keep the lights on.

What you’d need: An apprenticeship or technical school is a standard expectation. Most states require licensing. View a sample resume for an electrician.

What it pays: $51,880 per year

Hairstylist

What you’d do: You know how great you feel when you have a good-hair day? Hairstylists give that joy to everyone they service. Like an artist whose medium is hair, you’ll wash, color, cut and style a person’s ’do to sheer perfection.

What you’d need: All states require licensure, which generally calls for graduation from an accredited barber or cosmetology program and passage of a state exam. View a sample resume for a hairstylist.

What it pays: $23,710 per year

Massage therapist

What you’d do: If you’ve ever had a massage, you know just how revered the hands of a masseuse are. That’s because of the techniques massage therapists use in order to apply pressure to the muscles and soft tissues of the human body to heal injuries, improve circulation and relieve pain. Ahhh.

What you’d need: Standards and requirements vary, but in most cases you’ll need a postsecondary education with at least 500 hours of study and experience. Most states require licensure or certification. View a sample resume for a massage therapist.

What it pays: $38,040 per year

Mechanic

What you’d do: From performing routine oil changes to diagnosing and repairing major issues, mechanics keep their hands busy by performing maintenance on all parts of a vehicle. Get ready to get greasy.

What you’d need: Postsecondary education such as at a technical school is often expected, as is industry certification. View a sample resume for an auto mechanic.

What it pays: $37,850 per year

Sign language interpreter

What you’d do: Let your fingers do the talking, and turn spoken words into American Sign Language for the hearing impaired. Sign language interpreters can work at conferences, in schools or hospitals, and at live events.

What you’d need: A bachelor’s degree and fluency in American Sign Language and English are usually the minimum.

What it pays: $44,190 per year

Stagehand

What you’d do: Make sure the show goes on by playing the defining behind-the-scenes role. Often trained as carpenters, designers or painters, stagehands build and maintain set decorations for theatrical productions, and they move those decorations on and off stage between scenes.

What you’d need: There are no formal education or licensure requirements, with most skills learned via on-the-job training. Basic woodworking and crafts/ painting skills may be required for preparation of on-stage items, and physical strength for moving items quickly and quietly during a performance is a standard expectation.

What it pays: $24,090 per year

Welder

What you’d do: What a carpenter is to wood, a welder is to metal. Welders can work in a number of industries, including construction and shipbuilding, harnessing the power of white-hot torches to create or repair metal objects and structures. Some of them even work underwater, making repairs on offshore oil platforms and pipelines.

What you’d need: A highschool diploma plus technical school or on-the-job training. View a sample resume for a welding supervisor.
