    There is something about manual labor that office workers cannot simply understand. Sure it’s hard and often times dangerous. But at the end of the day, you feel tired than drained.

        Or you just move into management. I still do some physical work, because I never want to be the boss who refuses to get his hands dirty, but most of my days are spent coordinating, tracking and problem-solving and also a fair amount of pointless paperwork.

      It’s not about whether the work is more manual or mental. It’s about if the workplace is good or bad. A bad workplace will leave you exhausted and drained by the end of the day. A good workplace will leave you with leftover energy to live your actual life.
