I've worked retail, worked in cubicles at call centers, tree planting, restaurant server, fast food, drove a taxi, worked with adults with scizophrenia, children with FAS, ran my own convenience store/gas station in a first nation village in the Yukon, been a landscaper, a dry waller, a painter, a courier driver, a tourism consultant... I know I'm forgetting some but yeah... I like to change things up and experience everything I can....
Right now I just turned 30 and I'm landscaping 3 days a week and working with a kid with Autism and his Mom the other four. I love doing both jobs and might actually stick with this situation for a bit!
Hardest job I've ever done was running a restaurant. It was me and one other guy for a summer in the Yukon and I have never worked so hard in my life. We did everything, and it was awesome but man was it exhausting.
As for labour vs desk. I would think labour is harder on your body, but I also enjoy it more. Depends where your head is at and what makes you feel good. I would never go back to working 9-5 behind a desk, ever. It's just hard on your soul!
