I do landscaping if that counts, but it really just keeps me skinny and my cardiovascular health is fairly good.

So e of the best shaoe i was ever in was 11 hour landscape installation days with a meth head. Hauled a lot if gravel. People in the midwest sure do like to fill their yards with rock.

you'll love it in 10 years when your back, knees and shoulders are hurting and the only thing getting you through your 12 hour shift is over-the-counter pain killers and beer.

I'm becoming an electrician. I worked around them enough to know that their job is very easy physically, and now that i'm taking classes, i find the "intellectual" part much more less intimidating than i initially thought. No more concrete or landscaping for this guy. Looking forward to pulling wire. Looks like a decent forearm workout.

I have a masters degree in b.a. and an IT background but after some years I really craved working outside with my own hands, getting some sunlight and fresh air, and it just feels more rewarding when you finish projects and see the transformation. It gets rough sometimes, and many times I thought I can't do this anymore or that I really need a holiday because I felt burned out physically and mentally, but I still want to do it a few more years.

you're like a rich guy going homeless for a day to understand what it's like for actual homeless people.
when the only job opportunities a person has access to are hard manual labour because they were too stupid to go to university, being forced to swing a hammer or shovel soil is not a nice retreat from the office. it's more like wageslavery with a broken body with no light at the end of the tunnel and no say in the matter.
i'm just advising young people who may be reading this to do absolutely everything in their power to not get stuck doing manual labour for a paycheck. my dad is a landscaper and i am as well, he is constantly complaining about his knee, back or shoulder, popping pills and drinking nightly to numb the pain. i'm constantly battling overuse injuries trying to do this job and the gym simultaneously. it's not worth it.

Working outside with your hands doesnt have to be hard labor

Kind of sort of.

Worked as a fitness trainer for about a year, but ended up going into neuroscience. Eventually is specialized in evolutionary neuroscience and the science of autism, ended up in policymaking and coaching for neurodivergents.

There is evidence that specific kinds of exercise can produce changes in brain areas that are involved in the regulation of cognition, effort and emotion. Specifically exercise that causes unpleasant physical strain that has to be endured (not the injury-causing kind of course). I'm hoping to integrate these exercises into national recommendations for basic autism coaching/management, especially for kids with an earlier diagnosis. Many issues stem from coping mechanisms that develop in childhood, and become ways of living and thinking that are very hard to change in adulthood. If the development of these coping mechanisms can be avoided by helping kids develop brain areas that help them regulate emotions and sensations better, those kinds of exercises should really be a basic recommendation for pretty much any kid with autism.

Nice. Post paper nao pls

I don't have one, my work involves communicating with different bureaus/institutes that provide autism coaching/management, the ministry of social affairs and employment and the department of education. It's mostly about implementing existing research and bridging the gap between scientific literature and practical applications. How do you tell some faggot manager behind a desk, who doesn't know shit about any kind of science or biology, that he needs to get his autistic employees in these sort of programmes, in a way that he'll intuitively understand?

Here's some research that captures the gist of it if you're interested:

I'm almost 40 and I've worked in landscaping for the last 8 (eight) years. You make it sound like I just tried it to get a taste, that's not the case. I'm not arguing the negative sides of it, you WILL wreck your body eventually, that's why I will quit eventually. Maybe 2 more years..
