Have you done these jobs before? Or is this more like a programmer’s dream of some fantasy camp version of manual labor?

Or someone who likes to tend their garden thinking they should become a farmer. Although I'm guilty of this with regard to turning programming as a hobby into a career. At least the pay is better than my alternatives.

It's not a matter of fantasizing about an idealized version of a dirty, hard blue collar job, but an honest assessment of something that will last longer than coding and will pay me money to feed myself.
