What do you call "intellectual" jobs?

How about white-collar?

From M-W:

white-collar: of, relating to, or having the kind of jobs that are done in an office instead of a factory, warehouse, etc.


You can call these people who rely on thinking in their jobs knowledge workers doing knowledge work. They 'think for a living' and need to solve non-routine problems.


These are generally referred to in the UK as professional jobs.

professional

  1. engaged in one of the learned professions : A lawyer is a professional person.

The antonym, for physical jobs, is manual jobs.


Knowledge work is sometimes found as a back-formation of the much more common "knowledge worker".


You could also say a profession that is part of the tertiary industry, meaning everything that's service related.
