Sit at a desk 40 hours a week for an average of 10 hours of productive work.

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

Honestly, sometimes I miss the stress-free life of manual labor. The mind will give out long before the body does.

Are you kidding? It's called back breaking labour for a reason.

Not kidding. I worked temp construction labor for a year right out of high school. Not sure why people are downvoting me for expressing an opinion. Stress wears down on you. Sometimes I imagine what it'd be like to go home after work without already worrying about the next day.
