The simpler existance is less stressing. Let's put it this way, I know many ditch diggers who are the happiest people in the world. Work is work and stays at work. A six pack, pizza and lady friend is all he really needs. When you get to the upper echelon were reponsibility is put upon you life can get a bit crappy. For me, I have a cell phone strapped to arse I never ever leave work as long as that damn thing is strapped to my arse. In being so I would expect my pay to be a bit better. I used to cut grass when I was a kid. Great job. Got lost in my own thoughts as I cut and it provide enough for gas/beer/smokes and a lady friend. Good times and less gray hair.
