Mike Rowe video on lamb castration and sacrificing some sacred cows

I think the reason people who work in manual labor jobs are happier is because they dont take their work home with them. I was a manager for Hyatt working 60+ hours a week and I dont think I knew a moment of peace the entire 5 years I was there. I lived with the stress of the job 24/7. Of course, the fact that I'm not cut out for management played a huge role, but but I only took the job because it had 'status' of sorts. Now I am watering plants in a garden center and I love the job. Before that I sold mens suits in a department store and I loved that job. Neither one of them added stress to my daily life. There is a certain freedom there.
