No, it’s because manual labor fucking sucks. It’s honest and necessary work but it’s not easy work. There is a reason why blue collar folks push their children into higher education. Sitting at a desk is so much easier than using your body to make a living.

yea lol i did framing and was a painter for years. It’s good honest work but it takes a toll on your body. My back hurts more than it should for someone my age. Good work tho
