I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I’m honest I’m probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

    physical jobs are good till you hit middle age and the body can’t keep up.

    white colour jobs have a similar thing, younger people can thrive on the mental energy but the older i get the harder it is to mentally be “on the ball” the whole time . I think both white and blue collar jobs have different but comparable problems as you age. like sure I can pull a couple of full days if I need to, but burnout is real

      My point is that blue collar jobs are often forced to work an actual 8 hours, under worse conditions for less pay, and this guy is like “oh man no one can actually do that, that sounds horrible”.
