deskjob vs fieldjob

Read an article about a YUP ( young urban professional) online stating how he is fed up with his mundane 9-5 deskjob , 5 days a week.

Somehow reading it really pisses me off. 

In my opinion, being on both side of the boat before, currently i stand on the non 9-5 job. He is deemed lucky i shall say. Many people would want a steady income, to sit in a highly modern looking airconditioned building in a cubicle and exercise their fingers away for 8 hours. Then, go back & have their own personal time with family/ friends.

How good can life get? weekends is totally no work. 

Would one prefer a lifestyle of dressing casual, getting all sweaty  and smelly going out under the scorching sun with face sticking with dirt ? 

Would one wants to work more than 8 hours , work on weekends , have their offdays on a weekday when no one is off ?

Would one want to have no personal time and get bugged by customers after your work hour ( note: because they are only free to entertain you after their own work hours, which in turn eats into your personal time) 

Would one prefer to squeeze their brain juice everyday thinking of solutions to problems / just rather complete mundane task ?


I could say one thing, Humans are nvr satisfied having what they have until they have lost it. Just like how you would nvr realized how blessed you are  till you have suffered.


Surely both side of the boat has its pros and cons. Its just a matter of which you would prefer. By all means if they have seen the other side , most people would stick back to their deskjob than to jump into a zone of suffering although they may find their deskjob not challlenging.

Heck! thats why a job its called challenging for a reason, you are meant to SUFFER! 
if not, what's challenging then? 

Think about it.
