What should I do?
What is a good job for someone that really loves English, is only a sophomore in college, and really wants a hands on job Or at least a job that's not only behind a desk? I'm not sure if this is important but I'm looking into the Coast guard or air force.

I don't know what the coast guard or air force has to do with English, or a career involving English, but it's your call.
The only career I can think of involving English is an English teacher/professor, writer, or teaching English as a second language. All of those involve a desk, which you said you didn't want, but they are hands on.
The coast guard and air force definitely don't have a thing to do with a career involving English, other than speaking it.

What about the job of a public affairs specialist? The kind of people who are in the midst of the action and then get to write about it?

Library -- front desk, children's department, tech services (cataloging). There is a huge variety of tasks in each department, plus you will get to interact every day, all day with children and adults.

Newspaper reporter, columnist, and yes, public affair specialist -- a good command of written and spoken English is needed.

Is that job any more hands on than a normal journalist?

I really want a job that I get to possibly travel (at least a little) & then by hands on I mean that if I'm going to be writing for the armed forces, etc. then I want to be in the middle of the action
