Working outside make u tired as fuck! Sun kill you! Wind kill you! Cold kill you! Rain kill u!

Then u have this noisy fucking sound all the time if your into contruction or infrastructure shit...

And u will look 10 years older than you actually are!

Doing WORKOUT/CARDIO outside is heaven! Fresh air!

I agree, but why do so many guys say working behind a desk sucks worse ?

I've worked out with plenty of guys that often said this;
" I'd hate to work behind a desk and  glad I get to work outside/ outdoors?"

Ok, I understand wanting to be outside on a nice day, but what about all the cold, hot , rainy days?
Plus, what makes working at a desk so terrible and manual labor so enjoyable? ???

relocate to Sydney, dozens of free outdoor gyms & get beach job  ;D ;D ;D
everything is possible  ;)

I'm an adrenaline junkie, I know I could never work indoors at an office job, or going to work to the same place for 20-30 years ,it would drive me nuts.

Pros

Weather.
Working  on different projects (job sites)   every 3 -4 months.
Trash talk without fear of repercussion .
Decent pay


Cons

Weather
Hard work

For centuries working outside or manual labor was considered undesirable because it often exposed one to injury, illness, and premature death; the pay was also correspondingly low.  That is less true today, but the legacy of that association is all around us.  Different strokes for different folks obviously, but I work in a corner office with two widows and love it.  If I were parked in a cubicle that might not be so much fun, but my office is about the size of a small two car garage.  I get outside plenty after work and on the weekends: working on my yard, riding my bike, walking the dog, etc.  When I want to be outside during the work day, I can walk across the way to a cafeteria, a restaurant, the library or any other building on campus.  As you get older, you may conclude that working outside is overrated.  Sun exposure, precipitation, and temperature extremes can get old real fast! 8)

They say "sitting is the new cancer."  Workday sitting should be balanced with a lot of physical activity.

 ::)  There are trades which work underneath a finished roof.

People seem to think if you're not 'working' in an office then you're covered in soot digging ditches in Death Valley.  Peculiar notions.

There are exceptions, of course, but in my experience the people who say this the loudest tend to be guys who could never get or keep the kind of office/desk job they would enjoy.  Here is a perfect example:

i'm going to be 45 and i still don't have a real career?!

He held "peon jobs as production assistants and office assistants working my ass off 12 hour days dealing with 99 percent assholes..."  He got fired and became so bitter on the office experience that he "could not imagine being an office worker, cubicle, wearing a suit everyday kind of guy, how horrible is that..."  yet he is "tired of being poor and struggling and now with the economy the way it is nationwide, i'm searching for answers!!!!!!!!!!"

He should be working outside. ::)
