It seems to be a rather prevalent point of view in some blue-collar circles. You'll see some of them putting down higher education jobs as "lazy", and propping their own jobs with long hours and physical work as "real" jobs. I'm thinking there's some sunken cost going on there, as those same people will complain that their bodies are destroyed by the time they hit 40, somehow not making the link that overworking yourself with 60h might not be great for anyone, them included...
