You're cherry picking examples to suit your narrative.
For every person working at a FAANG you can probably find 1,000 working in a place with the same shitty working conditions most people are subjected to.
As a counter example cops can make $200k a year doing detail work (standing around) and retire with a pension after 20 years. There are similar situations (with lesser pay) for a lot of city and state level civil service.
There are shit jobs that will wear you down in every field. They're the jobs most people are working.
