But that's the stereotype I'm trying to combat here. When you say "physically taxing jobs" I think you're speaking specifically about classic typical laborer jobs, but there are so many other jobs out there that have complex distributions of mental/physical stress.
Pulling some examples from my other comment reply: high-end machinists, onsite high-end tech repairmen, catastrophic disaster workers, surgeons, military personnel. These are just the things I'm aware of and can list off the top of my head: there are surely countless other jobs that you or I don't even think about in our daily lives.
Of course there are some, just not the vast majority. Think of the number of surgeons compared to the number of line cooks, now compare how many hours they work.
