Fizical works vs brain work, discusion why is what

[Nater]

It takes years of education and training to do many of the higher-paying jobs. Not necessarily all of them though, you can be a web developer without too much training. The things is, many of the physically-demanding jobs can be done by anyone, it's just that they'd rather not do them.
Odd though, because I'm sure Americans working on oil rigs and Australians working in the mines (doing physical work) get paid quite a lot. I guess that'd be because there's a ton of money in oil and mining, and very little in cleaning up bio-hazardous waste.

With oil & mining work they get paid so much because its dangerous as hell. I've got a mate that works in the mines down home.
