I would argue that a mental strenuous job such as programming is more tiring than a manual labour job...

Do you know how hard it is to sit down for 8 hours a day and stare at a computer?! You wouldn't last a second in our world. Humans weren't designed to stay stationary and sitting down for so long, its absolutely gruelling and I would take a manual job over it any day of the week.

You can't use an ellipsis at the end of a sentence. I change gears and lift shopping bags for a living and even I know that.

Yes I'm a sheet metal worker in the aircraft industry. You don't see many fat guys in my trade it's hard graft sometimes. It's also mentally challenging, designing and planning repairs, interpreting drawings etc. I'm completely knackered by the end of the day, most days.

Not numbers and spreadsheets.

But most manual labour is not a real job. Mostly it has been replaced by machines and there's no work for whatever is left over for people to do anyway. It also requires little education.
