Definitely something white-collar in any case. Nobody is working 80 hours a week for months on end as a roofer or brick-layer. Even fishermen only work 16 hour days for 2 week stretches which are physically punishing enough. The average human body just isn’t up to months of 80 hours/week of manual labor.
Well that’s precisely my point. You can do it, for awhile, when you’re young, and maybe you even like it; but there is no world in which one can work 80 hour weeks in construction indefinitely without wrecking your body and playing serious hell with your home life.
/s…?
Could have been a startup

Ask me how I know.

I’m guessing they get paid super well and actually love what they do, a rare thing indeed.
