I guess I should let my dad know this who walked in the snow and worked hard manual labor for 12 hours a day.
As he loves to tell me..LOL

It's easy to work 15 hrs a day sitting on a chair in front of a computer screen while typing away..

Right. Try it sometimes.

The little secret that most older Americans don't want to admit is that they really didn't work all that hard in the "good old days." Americans work 20% more hours these days than they did in 1970.

That's the price you pay for not doing well in school and having the ability to pursue and obtain good paying employment.

Really? It depends on what you are doing in front of that computer. Are you good are writing UNIX kernel device driver code? How about doing vibration signature analysis in real time? Are you ready to design the hardware from scratch, code the firmware and deploy an embedded system? It still takes a top flight education to garner the skills that command a good salary. A computer is just a tool to accomplish sophisticated tasks.

I've pulled some 42 hour non-stop shifts sitting in front of a computer. It was necessary to recover a computer system key the operation of PacBell.
