Every single day I curse my job. I've always considered it unfortunate to be doing hard physical labor for a living, while so many other people are getting paid a lot more to do practically no hard work at all. But I guess there is one good thing to be said about my job after all - it keeps me in shape. Spending 10 hours a day loading heavy freight by hand onto trucks makes carrying a pack in the woods a literal "walk in the park."
Funny, I have a nice sedentary job and wish there was more physical component to it. My upper body strength is severely lacking. I have to go out of my way (to a gym) to keep in shape. It is amazing how much precious after work time it takes up, just to be in shape. I also know that even when I can jog 3-4 miles in 45 minutes, I am still not in shape. Better shape, but, not top shape.
I believe that a person's pay is inversely proportional to how important they are in the short term.
