I agree with you, but I’ve seen both sides, and while office type work is physically easy, it takes it’s toll on you in a different way, especially if you’re a white man today. It’s hard to explain if you’ve never done it. We’re just not meant to be kooked up all day inside under fluorescent lights while looking at screens, and shit.
Honestly, I think the best balance is doing more physical outdoor shit when you’re young maybe up until 30-35, and then transition over mostly to more laidback indoor/office CS type shit after that. This use to be kind of how it worked, until women were pushed into the workforce, and started taking a lot of jobs in general, which also included positions men could semi retire into. Now those jobs are often given to some female straight out of high school/college while the men are left to continue breaking their backs to die all day.
I'm not a work-a-holic, I'd rather not work these hours. This is no way to go through the life.
I've been around office workers. They are full of shit. Sitting in multiple meetings isn't work.

I've had some office jobs in my youth. They were alright.
I had a hybrid job that was in the office and out in the field. That was probably my most productive job that had great balance.
Now I have my current job, which is monstrous but the freest I've ever been.
