I work in outdoor recreation/tourism, and the owner, like many owners, subsidizes my wages off the backs of his own customers aka if I don’t get tips I don’t make enough to live in my area. I can tell people are not planning on tipping when they make a big deal out of this being a ‘fun’ job. And yes, I do get to do the recreation too. It is fun. Everything in between is HARD PHYSICAL LABOR. My body is broken, I am constantly hurt, my voice is currently gone and I’m burned the hell out socially because we’re understaffed. And even if I was having fun the whole time, it is still hard physical labor combined with entertaining people for over 2 hours. No matter how much fun I have, I still go home sore. A fun job is still labor. A fun job can still be soul crushing.
