I've been thinking of all the jobs I've had over the years and I have to say doing concrete work was by far the toughest most physically demanding job I have ever done! Especially being a woman it can really get to you, but I did enjoy it and it did keep me in shape. I will say it's nice being able to work from home now
So, what has it been for you? Especially interested in reply's from women considering often times we can get looked down for doing labor-intensive work.
Yep, concrete work (I'm a girl too). For 3 years I was a mason's tender (2 masons). It was really hard, especially in the hot Fl summer sun.
The second worst? Working the hayfields, loading 100 lb bales of hay onto flatbed semi truck trailers (800 bales per trailer).
I still have a small farm and a very physical job, so at 46 I'm still the same size as I was when I was 18...(finding age appropriate clothing is the hard job now)
When we struggle and work to make ends meet, we sometimes forget the very worthwhile sacrifices that others have made. Myopic and selfish, we tend to feel sorry for ourselves because we "had it so hard".

I get itchy just thinking about it.
We got $5 per afternoon for loading hay from the field to the barn conveyor.
I was in during peacetime so I don't think I can say the USMC. My most physically demanding job was probably working at the grocery store for 6 years. If you have any doubt that you get more value for the money using Scott Tissue, trying lifting a case of it vs. a case of Charmin.
