    It's hard to say. I really really enjoy coding, and have tons of passion for it. But I can get really deep into about anything and really enjoy it. I suspect I would find some position in the brick laying field that would satisfy me the same. I have worked physical labor jobs in the past, and as a whole I think they are "better" (except for the pay). I come home at the end of the day physically tired, but mentally fresh. Now I come home the reverse, and need to go run to stay in shape.

      Ya, it's a tough call. I've worked physical jobs as well including construction. Both programming and physical labor are enjoyable and good for a person in different ways and both ruin a person in different ways if taken too far. I guess if it all paid the same I'd lay bricks half a day and program the other half :)
