The way I see it, people who say "I couldn't sit in an office all day..." are the people that are meant to work like humps all of their life. It's not that you couldn't handle being inside all day, it's more that you couldn't get the job, in many cases. Now of course, this doesn't apply to everyone, it's a generalization.
I worked in garages for the better part of the '90s, and now I work in an office. I can tell you honestly, it's harder to work in an office than it is to work in a garage. I used to get home from working on cars all day and I was physically drained, but I felt it was lacking a real mental challenge. These days, I get home sometimes and I just don't want to think any more. To me, it's much more rewarding to use my brain to earn a living that it was to use my hands.
