    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.

    A job that you are satisfied with a job that produces something of value.
    Not numbers and spreadsheets.

    I get money for it, that's something of value!
    job

    1.
    a piece of work, especially a specific task done as part of the routine of one's occupation or for an agreed price: She gave him the job of mowing the lawn.
    2.

    Yep, seems to fit the description alright.

    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 Mostly it has been replaced by machines and there's no work for whatever is left over for people to do anyway.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.

    "Learn something new everyday!" is more like an injunction than an admission of wrongdoing.
    Stop digging, your misplaced ellipsis was bad enough, pull yourself together man!

    If they were freelancers like me they were probably sitting naked in bed while smoking cigarettes and peeling potatoes with their feet.

    I take bad manners on a phone all day. If I ever said what I really thought I'd be sacked in an hour.

    No I don't have a real job

    So it's a real job if you're one of a small number of people involved in doing something simple like building a wall. When it's a large number of people involved in something really complicated like running pharmaceuticals company, it's not real. But somehow there's a material output... magic, presumably.
