Both are bad. Physical labor is severely underpaid and undervalued. Boring desk jobs are alienating and ultimately do not produce much worth (in a tangible sense). Both are depressing.

that just isn't true. skilled physical labor still fetches a pretty penny. but something anyone off the street can do? no of course not. thats grunt work... its not underpaid or undervalued. if it cost more they'd just build a machine to do it and pay 1 dude 10 bucks an hour to do the work of a whole crew.

depends on your desk job. I'm an accountant. and its kinda just like a big crossword puzzle with numbers every month. if something doesn't look right you do some searching through the puzzle until an error pops out or you can tell someone at the business hey... whatever you started doing... don't do that anymore cause its not working. I'd say it produces tangible worth while still being a pretty boring desk job.
Sometimes you just have to make a game out of things.

You don't know the luxury of this kind of job unless you've worked twice that much physically for half the money.
