>> Software engineers do basically no physical labor
I know this is not like lifing boxes or bricks, but my main labor is a 2+hr commute each way to work -- why?
1. Because so many decent paying tech jobs are close to expensive cities
2. Because the jobs pay well, but not enough to live super close to the offices
3. Even if i lived closed to the office, the jobs are so volatile and changing you'd switch from south bay to SF to Oakland back to Fremont so you cant pick a single spot to live
4. You do this stupid 2hr commute only to go into a phonebooth "office" and sit alone on zoom calls with people in Asia who arent even in the same office
