I have never worked a real farmers day of work in my life. I sit at desks and use computers for up to 8 hours a day. I have never worked a field, built a house, or done anything significantly physical for work ever. This is not unusual.

I've done all of those things and a host of other shitty jobs -note I called them shitty jobs because despite being back braking work they pay the least and the bosses expect the most -don't ever be caught not moving on a construction site (unless you're union). These are jobs for people who can't find anything else and need money, people are worked like rented mules and paid like share croppers. These are labor positions not skilled trades and are filled by the lowest rung on the financial ladder, usually immigrants and the poor. Stick to working in an office, you'll me much happier -how often do you hear a trades person say they hope their kid goes into the trades, they don't, they want their kids to go to college so they don't have to work in the trades.

Yeah having done both, if you've never done long days of hard physical labor, it's just a totally different animal.

I would point out that you still do real work.

My bosses would disagree.

> My bosses would disagree.

If they believe you are not doing real work, what it tells you about the fact they still supervise you? They are admitting that they are useless at their position and that trained pigeon would outperform them.
