I can believe this based on my own experiences.

(I’ve never worked in construction, it there’s a strong correlation between the jobs I was happiest in and the jobs that involved a high degree of manual labor.)

One theory: 

How long is the feedback loop between an action you take and it’s result? The shorter the loop the happier you are?

🤔 Could be.

There’s also the phenomenon where even if what you’re doing is a small part of the whole, you can point to a definite *thing* you did.

“There are many stores like this, and many aisles, but this aisle is the one *I* built” (I was a stocker at Costco for a while).

The jobs I’ve had later in life have much more diffuse outputs.

Right now I work in computer security. There’s a similar pride to finding a vulnerability, but in the end product there’s rarely anything I can point to and say, “see that stone? That stone was *mine*.”

u can say, see that app? ever gotten hacked? that's me.
