I’m 28 years old, worked construction my whole life. I make good money, I’m a crane operator but my days are split about 50/50 inside the cab and on the ground with the guys. This fall I got offered a job in the companies office, working on proposals and estimates. I was good at it, but it sucked. I didn’t realize but as the months went on I was becoming extremely depressed, sitting in an office staring at computer screen. I was tired all the time. Now I’ve worked hard labor intensive construction, I’ve been tired before, but this was different. This was sluggish. My life was terrible. So I quit.
I went back to running a crane it’s amazing. Using my body, I’m outside, everyday is something new, on the fly problem solving. I feel bad for all you office folk.
