I've done manual labor, a lot of it. I was a contruction laborer digging holes, running a jack hammer, etc. Unloaded trucks and stocked shelves at a grocery store. A lot attendent at a car dealership mowing the lawn, taking out the trash, cleaning the shop, boxing up transmissions, etc. I've worked on farms doing misc. work. I was an auto mechanica for a few years.
One thing I miss about those jobs is the satisfaction of accomplishing a task every day. Notice none of those jobs require spending 3/4 of your day staring at a bleepin computer either. There are many days I stare out my office window wishing technology wasn't such a large force in my business.
It ain't all peaches and cream on the professional side.
