No, just no.
There is a high variance in job qualities beyond pay.
Work hours, over time, outside vs. office jobs, repetitive Vs. varied, physical and psychological impact, etc.
Those are preferences, and unique to each individual. I work in trades, I work the overnight shift, and I do 4 10's. I wouldn't want to change any of that. Someone else will feel more at home in an office, and that's okay.
The important part is having a job, that you enjoy, and that allows you to live comfortably while saving for the future. It can be in IT, sales, management, maintenance, whatever - but some people will rather leave a more tangible, visceral, and physical difference in their work at the end of the day, and their preference does not make it a worse job.

No, those are not only preferences, they also have objective health impacts.
Working nights typically decreases life expectancy.
