Also that construction worker: has bad back, bad knees, arthritic hands and skin cancer at age 42
Don't get me wrong the trades are amazing for a kid to get into right out of school, and they're critically necessary. But don't be expecting to make a lifelong career out of it, because it is absolutely hard on your body. Do it for 5 years max and move up to management.
Bad back, bad knee, arthritic hands, missing the tips of 2 fingers, bad wrist, a lot of scars, pulmonary fibrosis (Scarred lungs from working in dusty environments) at 50 yrs.
But thankfully no cancer yet lol
Damn Jay, that's hardcore
Nah, my body is just like that old truck you see once in awhile in traffic... old, rusted, worn out, full of dents, but by some miracle it still runs even though it burns a lot of oil and the steering wheel wobbles a bit between 20- 45 mph.
