The problem is that the best jobs that don't destroy your body or pay living wages do involve the shit this meme in complaining about.
Prove me wrong and post jobs that do not involve this shit, doesn't destroy your body, and pays well. That's right, you can't.
I mean, none of my career in IT has involved any of that.
Your career in IT doesn't involve looking at a computer monitor or an office? You dont work five days a week? Sounds like you may possibly be full of shit.
So you're saying the problem is systemic, not solved by simply finding a new job?
I work in a factory and with all the safety equipment and rules the bodily wear and tear is actually not that bad as long as you're in shape. Plus even office workers often ruin their backs and eyesight over time. And the pay is pretty good too, especially given the fact that I actually enjoy being there.
Too bad my gear is not as durable as me. The logo is already failing.
Billionaires seem to do well on that front
Lawyer
The psyche is arguably part of your body.
My sister is stressed 24/7 as a lawyer. That can't be healthy
Sorry to hear that. It has the potential to not be a high stress job, but obviously everyone is different. Just responding to the constraints that were presented, though.
