My god, where I came from, everyone did such things and those who could read at a sixth grade level usually couldn't wait until they didn't have to anymore. Suddenly, I had skills that the little prep-meisters never learned.
But what is it about carpentry or landscape work that does it? The sweat? The callouses? That kind of dustiness you have when you come up from a few hours of working wood?
Why is any of this more appealing that sitting on your ass crafting a good legal argument? Why, RT?
(UM, but, otherwise, given the distance, maybe we'd best just talk about football).

Speaking only for myself and not for all womankind, I can tell you that it's a primal thing. A guy who can do physical labor appeals to my baser instincts. Plus, a guy capable of certain physical pursuits is more likely to be able to pick me up, throw me over his shoulder, and carry me off than the guy sitting at his desk, sheppardizing a bunch of cases.
Plus, the callouses pretty much guarantee that not much is going to hurt his hands, or ruin his manicure.
