Accounting must be
Folks in audit (accounting) travel like crazy. Everytime I meet someone in audit, they're divorced or haven't seen their kids in weeks though
How do people that work in offices do it ?

I think very deeply
That's why I'll never stop being a field engineer until the day I retire. I'm just not built anymore to sit in the same place all day, every day and deal with bullshyt office politics. Been there and done that.
The good thing about working in IT as a field engineer is that it keeps you busy so you never get bored and if you finish all your assigned jobs and nothing else comes through, then you can finish early for the day and still get paid for the whole day. Nuff times when I'm on the day shift I'm at home by say, 3pm even though the scheduled finishing time is 6pm.
When you're in an office and there's nothing else to do, you still have to hang around until finishing time.....you might get to leave 15 minutes early if your manager is in a good mood, but that's the most you'll get. Plus most social network sites are blocked and the rest is monitored so it's of very little use anyway.
I just love when I pass through the offices and people bored out of their minds ask me where my next job is and I'm like "nah, I'm finished for the day. I might head over to Oxford Street and chill" when it's not even 3pm yet on some

like others have said it pays the bills, i have benefits and it allows me to do the things i want to be able to do in life until i find something better. i've been fortunate enough to be promoted 4 times since i've been there (started in 2008), starting as a part-time employee to being recruiter/personnel specialist so i don't have the horror stories of feeling stuck like some (although this position has definitely brought me closer to the fukkery and pettiness that goes on in the work place that i wasnt as exposed to prior). plus recruitment allows me to get the fukk out of the office more often now and work offsite which has been great, but the majority of my time i'm there with a bunch of ugly middle aged women that i have nothing in common with handling employee issues/schedules. it's easy work that i'm typically done with in about the first 2-3 hours of my shift and then i can sit back and bs until something comes up 
end of the day i know all of this looks better on my resume than a lot of other jobs out there and when the time comes where i can get something better i'll be out. i've come to enjoy recruitment and it fits into what it is i want to do anyway with organizational psychology so i'll probably be in this type of work wherever i go. i also have a side hustle locked up now in being a real estate sales person just to make more money and break up the monotony of the 9-5 life. just gotta take the classes so i can start making some extra cash. if the moneys good i might just leave the 9-5 life altogether and do shyt my own way. till then it is what it is.

Dude said Office work >>>>> Construction site and you went off on a total tangent.
Unless you selling homes from depths of the foundation on a newly developed high rise.
You straight flipped the script. Movie director with a spatula.
