I've worked hard labour jobs, labour jobs and briefly some 'desk' jobs.

I've also taught/worked with children with disabilities.

Hard Labour is hardest. Hauling sheets of drywall or handcarts of bricks all day is both physically and mentally taxing. It kills your body, and you have nothing to distract you from it mentally.

I agree with what Rathji said above. There is labour, and hard labour. Hard Labour gives you no reprieve, either physical or mental, from the task at hand.

However, I've watched my brother work deskjobs for the last 4 years, and even though they are otherwise good placements, I can tell the life of a cubicle/office employee is extremely taxing on a persons overall health, both physical and mental.

Give me a custom construction project or a goofy kid any day.
