Standing all day at work

Hi,
I'm a vet student who has spent the last three years in classes 8 hours a day with minimal exercise. Then I go home and sit on the couch to study all evening. In two months I begin clinics and will be on my feet for at least 8 hours a day. I'm worried the transition is going to kill my feet and lower back and I'm looking for things I should add to my gym routine to strengthen whatever muscles might help me be prepared for the transition. I will stretch as much as possible while standing but I'd like to know some training exercises to prevent the pain.
Thanks!

Deadlifts.

 

You learn to tighten the whole body and keep good posture.
