This. I've worked plenty of places that have awful work/life balances, friends that work in the trades are getting 1.5x to 2x on overtime while I'm working 12-16 hour days and weekends for nothing extra except the possibility of getting fired for performance if I didn't.

I've worked construction when I was younger and wouldn't want to be still doing it at my age, it was physically harder but I wouldn't say it was tough work and at the end of the day I'd leave and not think about it again until I showed up the next day.
