Agreed. I recently started a very physical job after decades of laptop work. Your personality changes quick, anxiety levels etc, as your body adapts. This is at 54 after 3 decades as an IC writing software. Lifestyle is by far the biggest driver, the body’s record is read-write memory rather than write-once.

What job did you switch to? Are you happy with the change?

Server in a busy restaurant- and it’s more about basing my future on dual incomes for better financial stability, as well as lifestyle. I don’t need evening time at home anymore, I’m done chasing the fantasy relationship.
