There is something about manual labor that office workers cannot simply understand. Sure it's hard and often times dangerous. But at the end of the day, you feel tired than drained.

Yeah, I miss that too. I had to get out because my body was beat up.

Or you just move into management. I still do some physical work, because I never want to be the boss who refuses to get his hands dirty, but most of my days are spent coordinating, tracking and problem-solving and also a fair amount of pointless paperwork.
