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.
