I don't know if that is necessarily true. There is a different kind of joy that comes out of jobs like that. I worked at LensCrafters making glasses in college.

I don't know if that is necessarily true. There is a different kind of joy that comes out of jobs like that. I worked at LensCrafters making glasses in college. Making glasses is not that much different from flipping burgers or picking up garbage cans. After a finite amount of time there's nothing more to be learned and it's just a matter of cranking them out. But I found the job very enjoyable. It was a rather zen-like experience, and the shifts would just fly by.
- jaggederest 14y agoAgreed. I found manual labor jobs in many ways to be more rewarding than software. When you bake pies, at the end of the day you're tired, covered in flour, and your feet ache, but you can point to a rack full of cooling pies and say "I did that today. 600 people are going to enjoy delicious pie today because I put in the work" - more than I can say most days working on software for a living.
