Brains vs Hands

I just told my dad that I wanted to be a construction worker. His reply, "What for?!" Sigh. So much for trying. To be honest, I'd prefer getting a job which requires me to use more of my physical aspects than my brains. I don't quite like the idea of sitting in the office for almost half a day. As much as I like maths, my future job doesn't (SPM's Principles of Accounts...misleading it is). I'd rather paint a building, do farming, cut wires, or perhaps cook/bake. The only reason I'm trying to complete this ACCA thingamabob is so that I won't be wasting my parents' effort, time and money. This is not what life is meant to be though. Life can never be satisfying, even to the most fortunate. Argh!
