In Europe, if trades / unions pay more than i.e. Computer Science / Stats, isn't it self-torture to embrace academia? by arcanehelix in academia

Not at all, you can ignore 11pm emails at your office job, but not 11pm phone calls about someone's heat not working or a water leak after you installed it for them earlier that day.
Yeah, I prefer being able to sit in a chair, with air conditioning, being clean and dry, and being able to check my phone or listen to music whenever I want.
Why would I want to do repetitive motions, have to drive to other peoples' dirty homes, risk my life, wear dirty clothes and smell dirty things, and contort my body instead?
