I did the paving crew thing. Currently in a desk job, which I think is harder. I would kill to be back outside again.
I find labour jobs are easier because I would have a set task/goal, then set out to accomplish it. With a desk job, it's managed chaos as there is not one simple task to do, the multi-tasking is brutal when overwhelmed with 10 projects going on at the same time.
On top of that, labour jobs kept me fit. While I was more physically tired, I was happier as it felt like I accomplished more and being fit just felt better. Sitting in front of a screen for 8-10 hours with minimal physical activity and feeling completely bummed when I get home doesn't help much in that regard.
