At work, sometimes I take a bathroom break just to escape. Don't use the bathroom, I just wanna stop looking people I don't care about around me and the noise. I'm not physically tired, since the job isn't demanding that way, but mentally I can't stand it. That's the main problem, it's a warehouse so it's inevitable. In a perfect world I would be almost completely alone and the job would be a 15 minutes from my home at walking speed...

Both of it aren't a reality.

That's not a possibility for low class immigrants... Do you think a good chunk of the Latinos that do gardening jobs in USA or similar do it because they like it?

No, very few people would continue with their jobs if they didn't have to. But there are varying degrees of terrible. Some people opt to start their own yardcare businesses (the work still sux, but you are the boss). For others, changing employers can improve some things. I just wanted to point out that there are options - even if imperfect.
