Work is work. Sometimes it's physically draining; sometimes it's mentally draining. The difference is that when something is physically draining, you can go home, shower it off, and pass out. When something is mentally draining it stays with you after you "clock out." It can make it very difficult to sleep. That's what happens with jobs that have some consequence to them. It's something that a person doomed to physical labor will never understand. Look at the consequences of failure. So you dropped a bag of cement. That sucks. Pick it up and keep carrying it. Turn in a terrible movie script and you'll have millions of people, many of whom will never even meet you, cursing your name for years.
I think there's a song written about this somewhere. Money for Nothin', I believe.
meh, i dont see it that way but whatever.
Hay all i am back and i just gotta say classic sonray response, or in other words i find his point rather shallow, in that although it has personnal merit it fails to take in any other external input at all.
I gotta say that mental beats phsyical hands down, try teaching in a prison all day and then going home and trying to forget about it-if ur job is mental it taxes u 24/7
