When I was a teen, I worked for $7.25/hr at a physically intensive job shelving books at an understaffed library. One day I told my coworker, who did same job as me, that I was planning on majoring in philosophy. "That's cool," he said, loading up a cart, "that was my major too!"

Truck driver and former oil field worker here. I can absolutely see how standing on your feet all day , while bending and standing up , and occasionally getting on foot stools to do repetitive actions is ‘physical intensive ‘ . You aren’t thinking it through

It was physically intensive. Had to push heavy loads of books on carts, basically nonstop squatting down and standing up, carrying books, walking and standing almost all of the rest o the time, all rushed cause we were behind. I was a spry, active 17 year old and it exhausted me.
