I'd shingle roofs all day if it meant not having to deal with people. People are the worst.

  I've actually never had a job in which clients couldn't call you at any time to explain that they previously belived that they wanted x, but now want y, with y sometimes being impossible. The worst part is that gradually you learn to anticipate when this is going to happen and preemptively design stuff so that it's easier to change on random whims. Are rude clients in service jobs a worse emotional load than people that think that specs are just vague suggestions?

    It is not a competition to see who can suffer worst and longest, and all those who cannot win should be happy with their lot. Generally, it's a good idea to aim for improving quality of life for everyone, overall, not reducing things such that everyone is merely slightly less miserable than the worst possible misery.

      "Solving" rude people seems very hard; automated call centers are univerally hated, for example.

  Roofing doesn't pay that well. Most workers doing mine seemed to be English as a second language type people.
