I echo dumblederp on this. I also like menial labour, and the money I get is enough to support my family and have some “treats” if I’m careful. But I’m on the wrong side of 50 and facing the reality of waking up in the morning with aches and pains which aren’t going away, and which are a worry for the future and for my longevity in the workforce itself. Everyone I work with who has a previous qualification/actual profession has quit and gone back to that profession because of the pain and the work being just so hard.
