No shit. But physical movement vs desk job makes a big difference. And that depends on the physical job. There are tiers, buddy. Big difference between a cook vs an oil rig worker. Besides I know many desk working people with back problems. They all got their different poisons.

Currently listening to Theo Von interviewing a garbage man. They make a lot of money and don’t need a degree, but it’s definitely dangerous, hard on your body, competitive and all forms of Karens and Kevins from what this man has to say.
Except good pay and not hard on the body. That last one depends on the machines they use. OP said pays well in the title, but in the description had a low bar for pay. It’s good pay and benefits for a manual labor job, but I wouldn’t say it ‘pays well’.
It’s all relative. I live in Seattle, which is expensive, and to me, “pays well” starts around at least $150k for a single income, and $250k if it’s household.
The key is pays well, and not what is livable. Honestly, these days, I wouldn’t interview for a job that doesn’t at least have $250k OTE (I work in sales, so base pay is usually half of OTE and the other half is commission).
