Working for 10 or working for 40 years? What's harder?
Yes working Hard, Considering they only get as much 3 or 4 Day off in an entire month, they can't drink alcohol while they are in the season, they need to get up earlier in the morning to do Training and then play at night while traveling all aorund the country, The only rest for some 8 hours while they work around 14 straight hours while handling the media and fan presure.

The Physical demand of Any sport are very rigorous, so you should not be comparing it with A normal job.

Futher more, none of these athletes last 10 Years working, even after retirement, they continue to work as coaches, Commentators, and what not. The Average Baseball payers Begin playing ball at 16-17 YO, and finish at 36 YO. Different from Working sitting in an office for 40 years were the only thing that suffers from your Anatomy is Your Eyes, this guys that play baseball are prone to have injuries that can sideline them for the rest of their life.

Imagine yourself working in the office and that because of Doing your daily choirs you loose both arms, so you are forced to quit the Job you know to do, Yeah I guess that happens every time in non Athletic job, I’m not even going to mention the level of difficulty there is of doing any Kind of sport vs. any Kind of Office Job.
