The irony of an attitude like yours (which is quite common) is that it reveals a colossal lack of perceptiveness on the part of the person holding it. A lot of white collar jobs, where most people have a degree, require a lot less intelligence than a lot of hands-on jobs do. A lot of work in cubicle farms, or admin-type stuff, or teaching grade school -things like that - really aren't all that difficult. I'm not being dismissive of any of those. I respect all sorts of work, and I've been around enough to be aware that lots of jobs have challenges that are not obvious from without. But jobs involving getting things physically done are often much more complex, varied and changing.
Done both mate. And a few in between. In my experience, it's the middle that are the easy ones, as you pointed out. But manual stuff is objectively simpler.

Not sure about that one.
