Basically, even if you enjoy what you do or find something to enjoy: work just sucks no matter your generation 
Honestly, physical vs mental are different kinds of difficulty. I've worked both about five years.
Trying to get yourself up at 5AM to work the cold ass shipping yard because your company is a hard ass about time takes a lot of mental fortitude. The job don't get any better/worse really: big trucks come in and they got to be loaded/off-loaded. I'll also say you deal with a lot of morons who goof off on the job around equipment and make the job exponentially more dangerous.
Now in my current job as a software engineer I got to do the same kind of willpower push to work on parts of the codebase I don't want to work on, but at least I know the work I'm doing will make the codebase better and easier to work on in the future. There is more responsibility and moving parts though. I'll also say you deal with a lot of morons who think they're smarter than they are and can make your job difficult because their code is horrible as they keep trying to solve problems that aren't there.
I actually do enjoy both jobs as there are positives to both and I do miss some parts of the shipping yard in my current occupation.

A lot of black boomers didn't go to school with whites.

I think you're confusing boomers with the greatest generation. boomers didnt work in factories or farms like it's was the turn of the century.In what world is working on a farm or factory easier than working at home in your pajamas. Am I missing something
Every generation in America has it easier than the ones before. Young ppl now are just lazy as hell
Boomers went to college, had gov or corp jobs and were the last generation that actually had salaries that matched the economy, which they fukked over for Subsequent generations

Make because they walked out of high school straight to an auto plant and made $90K.

I've come to realize they think it should be the same as when they came up. They don't want to recognize the change in society. They will die with this culture they built. I'm not going to let it take me out though.
Mentally tasking work is way worse than psychical labor. You must have never worked in “corporate America”. Warehouses and all that is mindless worknikka shut up
You sound like my mom when she would swear up and down she exhausted cuz of her 8 hour work day on the computer
Alas. The conversation demonstrates why it is so easy to pull the wool over the eyes of some of you stupid mother fukkers.
You can look at the cost of education, the growing gap between the rich and the poor, and the salary in comparison to the cost of living.
Unfortunately all of that goes out the window because people now work at desks and they have mobile phones. It is exactly what they want you to focus on so that they can continue to give you an unfair slice of the pie.

They weren't letting black folks have those types of jobs in 1965.
Congratulations. Do you make as much money as those people, though?
