Rec | A JOB INVOLVING MANUAL LABOR

💪🏽

Since high school, I’ve had a number of jobs here and there, and I just got my first job after college. During the summers, I did a lot of landscaping, and it made me realize how fulfilling manual labor work is to me, and made me rethink the career path I was looking into that mostly involved sitting in front of a computer. For some people, that is great, and they love their work! But I just started to feel a need to have a more physical job. Well I finally found work that I could use my college experience to get into and also involved physical work, and I’m so happy. I think I’m the kind of person that needs to move around a lot, so even though this wasn’t the job I was planning for during college, it’s one that makes me feel more fulfilled at the end of the day.

Blue collar jobs

hands look like this so shorty’s don’t lots of down time to do stupid sh*t and joke with co-workers never have to look at a computer screen (but plenty time to scroll PI.FYI) work outside and touch grass meet interesting people learn valuable life skills every day you tire out your body but not your mind at the end of the day, so you still have energy to create things after a quick nap plenty of crazy stories to write and tell about actually get paid to help people, not some empty corporation Highly recommend

Getting to work

After about 6 months of intermittent freelancing I’m finally finding my footing in a pizza shop opening near me. Doing manual labor to help get the shop ready feels really amazing and productive. Pizza soon.
