To play devil's advocate....

"Mental" work can literally be a KILLER.

Workers who earn their keep from physical work seldom
die from job stress. Not so true of hotshot managers
that daily "work out" in the company gym. g

No argument on that point only this observation.

People who are doing work that they hate, be it work the assembly line or work
the management ladder, are more likely to die from stress. If you are doing
work that you enjoy, even if you don't get paid as much as you like, it will
probably not kill you (Not from stress anyway.)
