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.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with being a construction worker. It's a super important and useful career. But it is hard work and it'll chew you up, then you're left not being able to work at all.
