I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I’m honest I’m probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

    Yes, it is condescending as you belittle the ‘brain’ role for the aforementioned jobs in retail, hospitality, healthcare, etcetera.

      I don’t think they were trying to belettile it. It’s not to say that you don’t need to use your brain or solve problems in a factory or in a shop. I think what they were trying to say is that those jobs are often quite a lot of physical tasks that take time whereas programming is nothing physical but almost entirely problem solving

      I didn’t belittle anything. Some jobs are more mentally taxing, some are more physically taxing. I’m not claiming one is “better” than the other.
