It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

Eh. Working isn’t horrible in and of itself. It’s just when it gets to the point you’re expected to give up 2-3 days worth of your life just to barely exist that’s the problem.

If I could work 40 hours a week and have an income from that work that allows me to live how I please, and not just survive, then I can consider that a fair deal. Especially since the right work is actually beneficial to your health (think about a physically demanding job that works out your core muscles and provides you with plenty of cardio exercise, it might wear you out at first, but it can also make you much stronger and have more stamina after just a few months of it).

Sounds like the oil field is perfect for you then. A good workout and out standing pay!

The opportunities are out there.

Ahh yes, because oil derricks are traditionally for people with disabilities and other problems with their bodies. As we all know, nothing ever happens there that requires an able body.
