I respect landscaping as a profession but idk what reality you're in that you think a software engineer job is just being able to "think on your own" in a way that even 1% of landscapers can be plopped into it productively immediately. Of course people who sit all day like many engineers will have problems doing manual labor. The problem is a good amount of them have enough experience with their hands to be a landscaper on demand. You will not find any but the most Einstein level landscapers able to immediately do productive software engineer work. The % of people able to do it is much lower in software engineering and that reflects its compensation compared to landscaping.
