I think you'll be surprised by how many people would turn to cleaning from white collar jobs if you do that.
Mentally demanding is worse that physically demanding for our bodies. All we do is create things to keep us from thinking, GAI being the end goal.

I'm sorry, what? Ask anyone in the trades if a 'mentally demanding' job is worse than a physically demanding one. People in tech really are out of touch if they think being a coder is somehow more grueling than being a roofer.

As someone who has done plenty of physical jobs over the years, I found the physical jobs much more satisfying. This is for someone who is not even in that great a shape.
Sure I was very tired afterwards, but at least it was a nice kind of tired. The mental tiredness/stress from coding is much worse in my opinion. If I could earn the same doing a physical job, I would probably switch now.
I do want to acknowledge that some of these physical jobs will destroy your body long term.
People would complain about cleaners getting more money than their white collar jobs, but that's classism embeded in part because of the current situation. As soon as people realise job X makes good money, suddenly the stigmas go away.
