14 hours/day of low-paying mindless work like installing software (or whatever the modern equivalent is) without constant interruptions is easy and lucrative compared to even 4 hours of stressful, dissonant, interrupt-driven work that is common today. both are considered knowledge work, and in the end, on an hourly basis, both pay basically the same. the most stressful part of this entire industry, and i know this from experience, is fixing other peoples' problems on-demand. whatever form it takes, that's the absolute worst fucking job in this entire field, because you get blamed for problems you did not cause, and blamed a second time for not fixing it fast enough.
